SUMMARY:Resilient and Flexible Supply Chain Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Biopharmaceutical supply chains are complex\, customized for each product\, and globally dispersed\, leaving the industry vulnerable to disruptions that may prohibit it from delivering medicines to patients. \nTo address these challenges\, the industry needs a robust\, real-time\, digital infrastructure for data exchange across supply networks.   NIIMBL and CESMII\, the Smart Manufacturing Institute\, have partnered with support from the Gates Foundation to explore developing and implementing a Supply Chain Data Exchange framework leveraging CESMII’s Smart Manufacturing Supply Chain model. \nTo begin the project\, we are looking for representatives from large biopharmaceutical companies\, suppliers\, academia\, and other supply chain experts to participate in a 2.5-hour virtual workshop tentatively scheduled for April 11\, 2025. From 11:00 am to 1:30 pm ET. \nThe goal of the workshop is to convene pharma industry leaders to address supply chain resilience. The initial virtual workshop will be followed by a second workshop later in 2025 with subject matter experts based on the use cases identified during the initial workshop. If you would like to participate\, complete the interest form. \nNIIMBL will review interested individuals and send invitations by email during or around the week of March 10\, 2025. Please note: NIIMBL will limit the number of workshop participants to ensure a balanced mix of stakeholder groups and perspectives.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Diving Deeper into Lean and Smart Manufacturing Synergies
DESCRIPTION:Lean manufacturing principles have played a significant role in driving efficiency across organizations through their emphasis on cost reduction\, waste elimination\, and THE customer. These principles have driven continuous improvement initiatives for many manufacturers. \nToday we see a wave of Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing technologies being implemented by leading manufacturers. Does that mean that Lean principles are no longer needed? The opposite is true. \nThe intersection of Lean and Digital has been coined “Digital Lean” and we will discuss examples of how this powerful combination of timeless lean principles and the latest digital technologies is reducing waste and variability in manufacturing processes. Digital lean isn’t a separate set of lean principles but a powerful enhancement of existing methodologies. Leveraging Smart Manufacturing technologies\, Digital Lean techniques deliver precise\, timely\, and detailed operational insights\, elevating the application of lean principles. \nTopics covered include: \n\nMindset and Principles behind Digital Lean Manufacturing\nHow Digital Lean techniques improve:\nDecision-Making\nResource Use\nProduction Flow\nProduct Quality\nProblem Solving\nPutting it all into Practice

I’ve built my career challenging assumptions\, envisioning better futures\, and helping organizations chart practical paths forward. \nToday\, I’m focused on helping large enterprises rethink how people\, technology\, and operations come together to drive meaningful change. Real transformation starts with human action — with the tension between what is and what could be — and I’m passionate about helping organizations shape what comes next.

SUMMARY:Creating Modern Smart Manufacturing Architectures and Better Namespaces
DESCRIPTION:Join CESMII CEO\, John Dyck and CESMII Chief Architect\, Jonathan Wise to learn more about the three ‘Imperatives’ for Smart Manufacturing Architectures\, and how Ignition is positioned to leverage them. Manufacturers stand at an inflection point\, facing a generational choice to either continue propagating the architectures\, methodologies and mindsets of the past\, or pivot toward Smart Manufacturing… a journey that positions your enterprise for a significant leap forward in value creation and productivity\, and a much more effective\, organic collaboration between your OT\, IT and ET organizations. In this session you’ll learn best practice for unifying your Namespaces with standards\, evolving your architectures for AI-readiness\, building portable applications that accelerate agility and prevent vendor lock-in.
