The overriding goal of production is a cost- and resource-efficient production of individualized series products in the time and quality desired by the customer using global networks that can deal with uncertainty and dynamics.

In order to cope with the challenges resulting from uncertainty and dynamics and to react quickly to disruptions, such as volatile customer demands or increasing labor costs, production workshops have to be designed very changeable.

On March 18, European Chamber Nanjing is pleased to invite GAMI to hold an online event titled “Changeable Manufacturing – A key success factor in the factory of the future”, GAMI GM, Dr. Tobias Arndt will share with you more about the concept, how to analyze changeability potential in your factory, how to implement changeability enablers and how to use Smart Manufacturing technologies for that purpose.

The topic is suitable for GMs, production managers, operation managers in manufacturing companies, and people who is interested in advanced manufacturing in general.
