MAPPING THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGES FOR PRODUCTION FACILITY PLANNING/MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
facility planning, facility management, digital transformationAbstract
The digital transformation is one of the driving forces of economic and societal change for the past 25 years, being accelerated in the past years by the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the opportunities brought forth by the tools of generative artificial intelligence. Production management is one of the fields that has a more classical appeal to it and as such there are many benefits and opportunities related to digital transformation that are not being used to their full potential. The current paper aims to perform a mapping of the situation related to digital transformation of production companies in the sub-field of facility planning and management, which has the potential to set the direction for a considerable number of years in the administration of a factory or related production unitReferences
