My guest on this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast is Mike Lackey. Mike is the Global Head of Solution Management for Digital Manufacturing at SAP. So far on this Digital Supply Chain podcast series, we haven’t really talked about manufacturing, so I wanted Mike to come on the show to talk about this key aspect of the supply chain.

To set the context at 00:38 I asked Mike for his definition of a Digital Supply Chain

Then I asked Mike at 02:08 what is Smart Manufacturing

At 04:43 I asked Mike how all this automation affects factory workers 

And then at 08:46 I asked if all this automation justified people’s belief that the robots are coming to take all the worker’s jobs

At 11:56 I asked Mike if smart factory technologies were only for large global manufacturers, or if smaller organisations could also benefit

At 15:52 I asked Mike what are the biggest changes we will see in factories in the next 5-10 years 

At 2010 I asked Mike if there was any question I hadn’t asked, that he wished I had
