_____ _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Productivity
manufacturing is front and center of this change . Manufacturers around the world have shown great resilience and adaptability in the face of these challenges .
We see manufacturers meeting them with data and technology in factories worldwide . While some struggle , progressive producers are cutting costs and finding an extra ten percent , 20 percent , and even 30 percent within their existing facilities , equipment and headcount .
Future success is about working smarter . In many places , that future is here today . ■
