BLOOMINGTON, IN—To be successful in today’s hyper-competitive global marketplace, manufacturers are constantly finding innovative ways to use technology to increase productivity. But, according to a recent Indiana University study, the creation of policies that govern “smart” manufacturing is just as vital to increased productivity as the creation of new technology.
“Smart Factories: Issues of Information Governance,” a new report from the Manufacturing Policy Initiative at IU’s Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, discusses smart manufacturing’s dependence on information governance—rules concerning the collection, flow and analysis of information, often in digital form.
