Made Smarter, a collaboration between the UK government and industry supporting the adoption of digital technologies within SME’s, has produced a free downloadable guide to transformation.
The document, titled ‘Is digital technology the key to success during busy periods such as Christmas?’, includes topics such as how digital tools can help plan production and capacity, oversee and manage the workforce, forecast demand and inventory needs, manage stock levels and automate the packaging process.
Donna Edwards, programme director for Made Smarter’s North West adoption programme, said: “For many, the Christmas rush will highlight bottlenecks and other issues with their processes. The Made Smarter team can work with them to identify potential solutions to these challenges and support them to develop an implementation plan to ensure success in 2023.”
