Rick Moroski , VP and COO for Americas at Schenck Process on the power of AI , robotics and digitisation in mitigating risk and improving efficiencies
I
had the pleasure of sitting down with Richard Moroski , vice president and chief operating officer for Americas for Schenck Process , who shared his experience on leveraging tech as an offensive move , allowing you to switch your gameplay from reactive to proactive , mitigate risks and improve service levels while increasing efficiencies .
" I was fortunate enough to participate in a session where Michael Porter from Harvard , one of the foremost strategists in the country , discussed how digital is still the key differential advantage for the US and how we must continue our pursuit of digital transformation .
" What everybody has to understand about the digital journey is that you ' re not buying a refrigerator . You don ' t just plug it in , set the temperature and expect to be good to go . To achieve a digital transformation , you need to understand your processes , understand your data . There ' s a lot of prep work that has to go in place before you start on your digital journey , and then it becomes incremental .
" For Schenck , that journey begins with our engineering team , from drawings to standardisation of documentation parameters and controlling of master data ." Although implementation may not be as simple as plug and play , in hearing Moroski speak , it ' s apparent the benefits outweigh the initial workload .
