ATMPs: Challenges and Solutions
Recent studies indicate that investment in ATMPs is expected to spawn growth in terms of the establishment of research facilities and related infrastructure. However, challenges in manufacturing sector flexibility are expected as the industry adapts to the new and emerging technologies. These challenges include standardization, interoperability, integration of legacy systems to new technologies, regulation, and security, among others. It is therefore imperative that these factors be given serious consideration along with the perceived improvements, efficiencies, and benefits.
Among the equally important aspects that can bring about effective technology diffusion and adaptation are capacity development in human resources, improvements in infrastructure and research facilities, education, and knowledge management, which must be supported by relevant and responsive government regulatory policies.
Of these, human resource capacity development is where an organization has direct control and influence. In recent times, it is no longer sufficient to have a workforce with appropriate skill sets. The global landscape requires the organization to empower the same workforce not only with knowledge on technology innovations but with awareness of market and social developments as well. This is where the organization can have meaningful impact.
Adapting to change and enabling the organization for continuous improvement will lay the foundation for an engaged and responsive workforce.
