Fostering Safety to Promote Operational Excellence

This IDC Perspective examines the growing movement among manufacturers of using safety to further operational excellence. Specifically, how leaders are using their EH&S programs to make their operations safer and more efficient than their peers. "The manufacturing environment is changing faster than ever before. Digital technologies like cloud, mobility, big data/analytics, and AI are drivers for industry transformation, but EH&S is often overlooked for these investments. This needs to change as the research shows that leaders can ensure workers' safety from all hazards improving productivity," said Reid Paquin, research director, IT Priorities and Strategies, IDC Manufacturing Insights.
