Preparing for industry 5.0: human-centric, Sustainable and resilient manufacturing

[MASTERCLASS IN GETTING READY FOR INDUSTRY 5.0 – HUMAN-CENTRIC, SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT MANUFACTURING (SUSTAINABILITY AND LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT)]

Preparing for industry 5_human-centric, Sustainable and resilient manufacturing

Introduction

The current global landscape presents daunting challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and supply chain disruptions, necessitating a swift shift towards Industry 5.0. In response, businesses are formulating comprehensive strategies to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience. Consequently, sustainability has emerged as a pivotal component of corporate strategy. At the heart of Industry 5.0 lies the emphasis on developing human-centric, sustainable, and resilient manufacturing processes, which presents companies with formidable challenges mandating the integration of technological innovations, the utilisation of human intelligence, and the observance of planetary boundaries.

The 2-day MasterClass, entitled “Preparing for Industry 5.0 – Human-centric, Sustainable and Resilient Manufacturing” has been meticulously crafted to provide participating companies with the requisite knowledge and methodologies to meet these exigencies. Participants will acquire the expertise to discern key challenges and interconnections between global economic and environmental developments. The principal objective is to comprehend the concept of Absolute Sustainability and Life Cycle Thinking, derive actionable consequences for their operations, and gain insights into pertinent areas of management. Building upon this foundation, the comprehensive Life Cycle Management framework will address product, production, after-sales, and end-of-life management. Further, participants will be exposed to various methodologies for environmental and economic impact analysis and their reduction.

The MasterClass has been structured as an interactive forum. Participants are encouraged to apply the knowledge and methodologies imparted to group case studies, thereby deriving practical and actionable insights.

Why this MasterClass

In the MasterClass, participants will explore the following focus areas.

Exploring Human-centric Approaches
- Explore the importance of human-centricity in manufacturing and its role in fostering employee well-being, empowerment, and engagement.
- Understand how Industry 5.0 integrates human intelligence with advanced technologies to optimise productivity and efficiency.
Embracing Sustainability Principles
- Examine the sustainability principles in manufacturing and their relevance in Industry 5.0.
- Learn strategies for integrating sustainability practises into manufacturing processes to minimise environmental impact and promote resource efficiency.
Building Resilient Manufacturing Systems
- Identify the critical components of resilient manufacturing systems and their importance in adapting to dynamic market conditions and disruptions.
- Explore strategies for enhancing the resilience of manufacturing operations through technology adoption, flexibility, and agility.

By achieving these objectives, participants will be well-equipped to navigate the complexities of Industry 5.0, drive innovation, and contribute to the sustainable and resilient growth of their organisations and the broader manufacturing ecosystem.
