The simple solution to sustainability in manufacturing
For many manufacturing businesses , the temptation to put sustainability on the back burner is very real , as organizations grapple with supply chain challenges and inflation . What these companies don ’ t realize is that by focusing on sustainability , they can benefit both their bottom line and their ‘ green line ’ at the same time . But doing so requires the right technological tools . Some manufacturing companies are still being held back by a reluctance to harness technology and data to boost their sustainability ( and , by extension , their profits ). The manufacturing sector still lacks ready access to the data it needs to reach Net Zero , studies have shown . This is one of the key challenges the sector faces .
For manufacturers looking to improve sustainability , finding value opportunities within wasteful processes is the best place to start . Unclear processes , quality deficiencies and capacity bottlenecks lead to excess stock and production waste . This drives up costs and , in turn , has a negative effect on an organization ’ s carbon footprint . But all too often , such problems can be difficult for business leaders to see due to siloed ways of working , meaning that they can go undetected for years . For business leaders , finding and dealing with such problems creates real opportunities to find value and achieve their sustainability objectives . The answer , in large part , could lie in process mining .
