A Future in what Sort of World?
• Global population grows 50% to 9 billion in 2050
• Middle class grows 300 % from 7.5% to 16% of global
population by 2030
• In 2005, the world produced more transistors, at lower
price, than grains of rice
• In 2020 - the number of graduates will exceed the total
world population in 1920
- 2.5 billion people connected to the Internet
- average global temperatures increase 1 deg.
- knowledge increased tenfold
1. Find your niche in the global supply chain
• Competition less between companies
than between rival supply chains
• Manufacturing innovation through global
collaboration
2. Integration of products into services
• Rolls Royce generates over half its
revenues not from selling aero engines,
but maintenance services that
continuously monitor and update their
engines in flight
3. Increased embedded knowledge
Manufacturing is not just about making things – it is about capturing
the value of the knowledge in customer solutions
The intelligent car – ICT to account for 50% of value,
providing:
• electronic safety
• traffic management
• travel guidance
• driver customised
• remote diagnosis
• RFID labelled parts
