The programme in Digital Transformation in Manufacturing & Supply Chain aims to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the role of digital transformation in the management of corporate Operations, both more strictly internal (i.e. Manufacturing and Logistics) and throughout the entire Supply Chain.
The programme focuses on the role of digital solutions in the day-to-day operations of companies. The adoption of enabling technologies (i.e. Industry 4.0) must go hand in hand with a profound change in culture and with the aim of ensuring speed, elasticity, decision-making capacity and competitiveness.
Thanks to interactive teaching (theoretical models, case studies, simulations, exchange of experiences) and a faculty consisting of representatives from academia, industry and consulting, the programme enables participants to:
- Highlighting the potential for improvement in Manufacturing & Supply Chain with a view to process digitisation
- Knowing the state of the art of enabling technologies and their implementation possibilities, benefits and potential risks
- Being able to build critical competence to dialogue with possible technology partners
- Designing and implementing an effective roadmap of activities (Digital Agenda in Operations)
The training course is structured over 7 days, for a total of 8 teaching sessions in a weekend format (Friday and Saturday), during which participants will acquire the soft and hard skills and operational tools to drive the Digital Transformation of manufacturing companies.
In collaboration with:
Alberto Regattieri
Director of Education

" Digital transformation does not mean "doing without paper what you did before", digitizing Operations means innovating and improving physical and information flows. "
Michele Bonfiglioli
Executive Director

" The training course is characterised by a pragmatic approach, thanks to a combination of theoretical models and successful experiences. It aims to provide participants with the tools and skills to govern the Digital Transformation in manufacturing companies. "
