Improving asset utilization and manufacturing production capacity using analytics

Industrial organizations have increasingly invested in IoT technologies to monitor, control, identify faults in, and optimize operations. With increasing competition, a push to lower manufacturing costs, and pressure to create 'wow' moments for passengers, and in alignment with enterprise vertical integration strategies, airplane interiors manufacturers like Boeing's Interiors Responsibility Center (IRC) are looking to leverage IoT technology to transform not only what they manufacture but also how. This study seeks to understand the potential for analytics in increasing production manufacturing capacity in Boeing's IRC. Our analysis is driven from personnel interviews, observational time studies, review of historical machine data, and value stream mapping.
