Innovate Your Way to Growth While Minimizing Risks

NIST

Manufacturers work hard to minimize disruptions to their operations and invest significant resources to minimize production risk. They also are under constant pressure to find new ways to deliver more value to their customers. Sustainable business growth is critical to delivering this value. Many achieve that sustainability through experimentation. But innovation and experimentation involve risk, which could lead to wasted resources, not meeting expectations, or a lack of return on investment.
