The industry 4.0 Assessment through the Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) Framework is a strategic program designed to help manufacturing organizations navigate the complexities of digital transformation. By leveraging a world-recognized, validated methodology, this course enables participants to evaluate their operational maturity across the three fundamental pillars of Process, Technology, and Organization. Moving beyond theoretical concepts, the curriculum focuses on applying a structured approach to identify high-impact digital initiatives, ensuring that technology adoption is purposefully aligned with business goals and industrial readiness.
- Master the architecture of the SIRI Framework, including its 3 pillars and 16 dimensions.
- Acquire the skills to evaluate a manufacturing plant's current digital maturity.
- Learn to identify and prioritize key performance gaps within an industrial environment.
- Understand the options for digitalizing manufacturing operations through practical models.
