Training Course on Smart Manufacturing Specialists

SM integrates cutting-edge technologies such as the IoT, AI, robotics, data analytics, and cloud computing to optimize processes, enhance productivity, and improve decision-making in manufacturing environments. In response to the rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape driven by technological advances, the APO and China Productivity Center established the COE on SM in 2019. In 2022, the APO and COE on SM published a National Implementation Framework on SM. Among the framework elements are planning and developing a roadmap for SM adoption, cultivation of talent, and current workforce upskilling through education and training.

The APO introduced a training course on SM specialists last year to expand the role of existing productivity specialists by equipping them with SM knowledge. In 2024, the APO and COE on SM continue this effort with improvements to help SM specialists play pivotal roles in implementing and managing SM systems to ensure operational efficiency, quality improvement, and competitiveness in global markets.
