In the present study we took a close look to the current situation of Manufacturing Data Analytics – focusing on three different aspects:

• Data Analytics Strategy and Organization within manufacturing companies
• Manufacturing Data Characteristics, existing Systems and Capabilities
• Business Performance Impact of Manufacturing Data Analytics

The results of this study show existing barriers and action fields for future research. We see this as a first step on the way to Data-based Manufacturing, that will help manufacturing companies to strengthen their competitive position through increased quality and productivity.

We would like to cordially thank everyone who participated in this study! We are looking forward to welcoming you to our future research and consulting activities.
