The impact of smart manufacturing on achieving production flexibility

Abstract

The current research aims to demonstrate the impact of smart manufacturing in achieving production flexibility, as there were two main problems in the Middle Euphrates Company in the soda and chlorine production plant, the study sample, which are as follows: Failure to achieve production flexibility according to its basic requirements, in addition to not adopting smart manufacturing techniques in achieving production flexibility in the soda and chlorine production plant. . Failure to adopt smart manufacturing in the above-mentioned factory, and the researcher relied on two approaches, namely the case study approach to analyze the checklist for smart manufacturing and the checklist for production flexibility and diagnose gaps, and the descriptive analytical approach to know the extent of the impact of smart manufacturing in achieving production flexibility in the studied factory, and the researcher used the Excel 2016 and SPSS 26 programs and used some statistical methods such as the weighted average and percentage,For matching and the size of the application gap to diagnose gaps in the checklists.
