From Industry 4.0 to Supply Chain 4.0

Industry is changing – getting smarter and more connected. Production will change – and so must the supply chain. How can networking, digitisation, and smart analytics help you build the factory of the future?

In a unique programme, we combine the expertise of one of Europe’s leading institutes of technology, @RWTH Aachen University, and one of its leading business schools, @Vlerick Business School. At RWTH Aachen’s Engineering Campus, lab time and demo factory visits combine to give you an action-oriented learning experience. This helps you to build your framework for a factory of the future. At Vlerick Business School, you’ll learn the very latest in strategic supply chain management and leadership. This powerful combination will give you the skills, experience and confidence to master the transition towards a digital factory and supply chain. And as you learn, you’ll be developing an action plan for your organisation – and present it to your board.

You’ll start by demystifying Industry 4.0. Then you’ll build a roadmap to take your company on its own unique journey to smart production, smart supply chains – and all the business opportunities the shift could mean for you. You will:

• Dive deep into the smart factory – and know how to assess the investment required, as well as likely returns
• Know where your company is now – and know how to get it where it needs to be
• Visit a demo plant so that you can directly experience what’s possible
• Dive deep into the smart supply chain – and create a plan for digitising and transforming your own supply system
• Discover the new opportunities that smart supply chains can create
• Be able to lead the transformation you are recommending
• Become an agent of change in your organisation
