Skill development is a crucial factor in manufacturing productivity. We all know Skill building is an essential driver of growth through an improved job opportunity, generation of income, productivity and support for overall economic development. For sustainable development and inclusive growth, skill development will ensure high productivity, skill development must be in place. However, how does it impact manufacturing productivity in the near future? What are the skills that improves productivity for Industry 4.0?
Digital technologies are transforming the manufacturing segment, and our companies are adopting Industry 4.0 Traditional manufacturing is labour intensive. However, new-generation manufacturing workplaces are going to be digital. Technologies such as design applications, 3D Technologies, design automation, factory automations and robotics are already in place for some units and showing high productivity.
The new-age manufacturing is a skill-intensive. It demands a variety of skills, even at the lowest level in the skill. Even if we all protest, global Industry is adopting machine run factories or robotics solutions to increase productivity. Our workforce also needs to be ready and fill-up the gap to manage automated production lines. Data and visualisation is critical. For a huge amount of data transaction and analysis of these data, computational skills such as data analysis, big data and its visualisation are required
Digital Assembly lines:
Companies realise high productivity and business efficiency through factory automation and robotics.
For this, a variety of digital production line and assembly line skills are required. There will be another set of people with analytical and predictive skills. Though machines will do a particular process in a assembly line, the decision making has to happen by us. For that, we have to be ready that match the skills with the machine/robotics skills. Our Human Resource departments have to do proactive matching of skills and talent with the Industry 4.0.
Role of HR:
Recruitment is now an end-to-end process beyond finding out the skills and competencies. The skill development initiates the skill profile adjustment processes and prepares the selection decision. They have identify skills, competence and leadership skills. Assess the change management mindset and any specific and future goals with n the organisation.
They have to find innovative ways to recruit, maintain and retain highly skilled talents for sustainable growth for the organisations. If the skills gap is observed very early, practical training and skill development can be provided that aligns with the business goals of the organisation.
