Have you noticed more job specs that combine multiple roles, like Data Analyst, Digital Strategist, and Agile Coach, all into one? Do you think this trend is driven by cost-cutting measures, or is it a sign that businesses are seeking agile, multi-skilled talent to thrive in a fast-evolving market?

Agile manufacturing evolved from Toyota's just-in-time (JIT) concept, expanding into lean manufacturing, cycle time management, time-based competition, and quick-response manufacturing.

Unlike JIT's focus on production systems, agile manufacturing encompasses both factory floor operations and the growing significance of software in the industry. Its prerequisites hinge on robust digital transformation, emphasising software development facilitating seamless interaction among humans, computers, and production machines.
