The Journey:
Phase 01.
The Eye-Opener Intro Workshop
Industry 4.0 is without doubt the latest buzzword in manufacturing. Our eye-opener workshop is designed to do exactly that – open your eyes to what’s possible with Industry 4.0 and show manufacturing businesses exactly what it entails.
LMAC runs both open workshops – where one or two key stakeholders can get insights – and on-site interactive workshops for businesses wishing to upskill entire teams. The sessions are designed to show what is possible with Industry 4.0, why it affects all parts of a business and, the benefits to be realised.
The details
- Half-day workshops on site at your business, typically for the operational leadership team;
- Copies of all training materials for internal use going forward;
- ‘Go.Look.See’ Specific, real life examples with interactive sessions to understand how Industry 4.0 could be used to solve the challenges holding back your business.
Regional Business Partners often have funding available for training and upskilling staff. Feel free to talk to us about applying for this funding.
Phase 02.
Smart Industry Readiness Index Assessment
LMAC are the only certified delivery partners of the SIRI assessment process in New Zealand. Developed by a world class working group between the world’s most advanced technology companies and backed by the World Economic Forum, SIRI measures a business’ current maturity and looks at its strategic ambitions to deliver a high-level roadmap of priorities. These priorities focus on delivering value and return on investment on a scale and time frame that suits your business.
“The SIRI assessment was a thorough top to bottom assessment of Oasis Engineering’s Industry 4.0 systems and processes.
From the results we were able to develop an Industry 4.0 roadmap and clearly define our priorities for the next 2 to 3 years and beyond”
– Kevin Flint, General Manager Oasis Engineering Ltd
Funding is available to support business with this part of the journey. For more information click here.
The details
During a four-day engagement (including three days on site) two of our Industry 4.0 experts will guide the leadership team to the following outcomes:
- A clear current maturity of your business;
- A benchmark globally against industry competitors;
- A cost profile and priority KPIs for your Industry 4.0 journey to achieve;
- A debrief with high-level roadmap of key opportunities;
- Any lean or continuous improvement opportunities to give a solid foundation;
- One scoped quick win opportunity with technology examples and clear guided next steps to implementation.
Phase 03.
Data Analytics Pathway & Industry 4.0 Road mapping engagement
Following the SIRI assessment process, businesses have an engaged senior team often hungry to start their Industry 4.0 journey. As with any transformation or change management programme we need a plan to guide our direction and focus.
Using the high-level opportunities and key future deliverables from phase 2, we work with your team to develop a detailed roadmap and data analytics pathway which in turn allows us to develop a detailed deliverable roadmap for your business to achieve its Industry 4.0 objectives.
The details
Typically a multi-day on-site engagement (depending on the scope) with one of our Industry 4.0 experts, working directly with your team to deliver:
- A data analytics pathway— clear direction on what data is needed to deliver a successful Industry 4.0 journey;
- A detailed roadmap of facilitated sessions and project implementations linked to deliverable milestones.

Phase 04.
Support to deliver your roadmap & Digital Lean programme
Most often, businesses ask us to work with them to help them deliver their Industry 4.0 roadmap. By facilitating the relevant sessions, coaching, change management tools and techniques, and setting up project governance and steering, we ensure your team are equipped to deliver the roadmap outcomes successfully. The scope and time allocated to this phase varies depending on internal resourcing, experience and project timescales.
The details
The support phase is typically structured as follows:
- Identification of roadmap elements that require support;
- Required training workshops on change management, problem solving or other continuous improvement methodologies;
- On-going on site coaching and support of specific initiatives.
Funding is available to support businesses with the implementation phase of their roadmap. See Callaghan Innovations Digital Lean programme for details as well as a case study of how this funding allowed one of our clients to achieve a game changing level of insight from their data.
Phase 05.
Solution Provider Verification and Governance
