Driving Sustainable Transformation in Manufacturing and Supply Chain Operations

In the midst of an evolving economic landscape, stringent environmental regulations, and
supply disruptions, the role of digital manufacturing is pivotal in shaping a sustainable
and resilient supply chain. Manufacturing organizations in Asia/Pacific, including Japan
(APJ), are shifting to sustainable business practices to meet sustainability metrics.
However, organizations faced several obstacles that resulted in maturity variances in
sustainability initiatives within the region. In response, manufacturers are investing in sustainability initiatives and digital
factory solutions to track, monitor, report sustainability data, and verify the efficacy of
the implemented initiatives.

This InfoBrief provides insights from manufacturing organizations in APJ, including key investment
drivers and challenges, investment plans for applications to support sustainability
initiatives, and vendor selection criteria. The report also highlights manufacturers’
approaches to sustainable practices and use cases, including regional insights from
ASEAN countries and ANZ.
