In this brief panel excerpt, the speakers discuss the importance of stepping back to systematically document and prioritize the various opportunities within a smart manufacturing initiative. They emphasize breaking down projects into manageable bites and aligning these efforts with the organization’s broader objectives, such as achieving ISO certification. By positioning smart manufacturing as a series of stepping‑stones toward high‑level goals, they argue that the approach becomes both compelling and powerful for business growth.

It's helping to take a step back, take a really— we just kind of put on paper everything, all of our different opportunities and what can we bite off each time.
I think, Cici, that is a super compelling point that you make that I hope everybody hears and lets sink in. There's nobody that's out there selling smart manufacturing as a path toward ISO certification. Right. And so you're looking at your business, where you're growing, what your, your high-level objective is, and then aligning your organization on a path that includes that as stepping stones. So I think it's really, really compelling and really powerful.
