Continuous Improvement in the New Reality of Industry 4.0 - Part One

In our age of digital technologies, new buzzwords such as "Industry 4.0," "Artificial Intelligence," "Machine Learning," and "3D printing," sound louder each day, and you might be thinking that the "old" concepts of "Lean" and "Six Sigma" are not relevant anymore. In this two-part program, we will discuss how the old and the new concepts complement each other and play hand-in-hand.

• How can Lean Six Sigma leverage from the new digital technologies?
• How can IoT technology help you collect OEE data?
• How can visual recognition prevent process defects?

In our first session, we will introduce the different technologies that are collectively called Industry 4.0, focusing on the problem solving methodology and its interface with technology.

In part one, the following key points will be covered:

• Overview of the Industry 4.0 technologies
• Connection of Industry 4.0 technologies with traditional Continuous Improvement frameworks
