Dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion for Adi­ent is the oppor­tu­ni­ty to lever­age the rapid­ly accel­er­at­ing capa­bil­i­ties and decreas­ing unit costs of advanced tech­nol­o­gy to achieve and exceed objec­tives of the five-year mark­er. Join this web­cast to hear from Adient’s Vice Pres­i­dent of their Dig­i­tal Office as he out­lines their dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion jour­ney from the ini­tial focus on dri­ving oper­a­tional excel­lence and employ­ee engage­ment to devel­op­ing dig­i­tal prod­ucts, new busi­ness mod­els and cus­tomer engagement.

Dig­i­tal tech­nolo­gies offer Adi­ent the abil­i­ty to dra­mat­i­cal­ly improve user expe­ri­ences and capa­bil­i­ties in the cor­po­rate envi­ron­ment. This, cou­pled with the improved col­lab­o­ra­tion spaces in their facil­i­ties and the imple­men­ta­tion of Agile, Lean and Adi­ent Man­u­fac­tur­ing Sys­tem (AMS) meth­ods of work­ing, pro­pelled Adi­ent towards a rich and reward­ing work environment.

Each func­tion­al area is build­ing a tai­lored Dig­i­tal Vision and roadmap to achieve their respec­tive trans­for­ma­tion. Adient’s Indus­try 4.0 ini­tia­tive will evolve tra­di­tion­al fac­to­ries into smart fac­to­ries. This includes cyber-phys­i­cal sys­tems, advanced automa­tion, the Inter­net of Things, cloud com­put­ing and big data ana­lyt­ics in which all human, mate­r­i­al and ener­gy resources are inter­con­nect­ed and optimized.

This top-rat­ed case study pre­sen­ta­tion from Best Prac­tices for Auto­mo­tive 2017 show­cas­es how Adient:

• Nav­i­gat­ed dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion to reduce costs, increased effi­cien­cy and improve quality
• Improved user expe­ri­ence and engaged employ­ees with dig­i­tal technologies
• Devel­oped a strat­e­gy to advance each fac­to­ry into a smart fac­to­ry con­nect­ing ana­lyt­ics across the organization
