The six success factors are:

  * An **Integrated Strategy** with Clear Transformation Goals. The strategy describes the why, the what, and the how, which are tied to specific, quantified business outcomes.
  * **Leadership Commitment** from CEO Through Middle Management. The company has high leadership engagement and alignment, including often-overlooked middle-management ownership and accountability.
  * Deploying **High-Caliber Talent**. Management identifies and frees up the most capable resources to drive the transformation program.
  * An **Agile Governance Mindset** That Drives Broader Adoption. Leaders address roadblocks quickly, adapt to changing contexts, and drive cross-functional, mission-oriented, “fail-fast-learn” behavioral change into the wider organization. They deal with individual challenges without losing sight of the broader goals.
  * **Effective Monitoring** of Progress Toward Defined Outcomes. The company establishes clear metrics and targets around processes and outcomes, with sufficient data availability and quality.
  * **Business-Led Modular Technology and Data Platform**. The company puts in place a fit-for-purpose, modern technology architecture driven by business needs to enable secure, scaleable performance, rapid change deployment, and seamless ecosystem integration.

Industry 4.0
  * Transparency: 
    * sensors on machinery- 
      * location
      * temperature, 
      * wear-and-tear, etc
  * Predictability
      * with location
        * next leg of transport can prepare for arrival and adjust production schedule
  * Self-control
    * autonomy
      * what is in sequence/parallel ?  So that machines can adjust how system runs
    * 

Lean/TPM/6Sigma is not sufficient, but Industry 4.0 supplements and enhances the system

RPA: Robotic Process Automation

RPA vs STP: It seems STP requires massive system overhaul, whereas RPA sometimes mimicking of human to interact with legacy systems.

RPA is generally a band-aid, meant for short term solution and needs  to updated with each system upgrade.  Even if it is boosted by AI/ML, it might be dangerous.
