The next manufacturing revolution is here | Olivier Scalabre

Economic growth has been slowing for the past 50 years, but relief might come from an unexpected place — a new form of manufacturing that is neither what you thought it was nor where you thought it was. Industrial systems thinker Olivier Scalabre details how a fourth manufacturing revolution will produce a macroeconomic shift and boost employment, productivity and growth.

Just wondering when and how the manufacturing revolution (4.0) gets its maturity to support the idea it derived from. If you take a look at the principles of TPS (TOYOTA PRODUCTION SYSTEM) based on staff minds and skills to create value in any step they take in order to optimize process and build the competitive edge, you will know why this company is so effective. Automatization in this particular matter such as 4.0 does not mean to be a step with the wrong foot, but is it ready to think in KAIZEN way - create value steps instead of speeding up waste? // The idea to write in here crossed my mind when recalling a visit in Japan, Nagoya, Motomachi TOYOTA plant with German process engineers who got to know that their internal logistics based on robots is way less efficient than this one we could see at TOYOTA created by shop floor people during KAIZEN sessions...Eiji Toyoda used to say "Before cars, make people" is it still valid?

Robots, cobots, 3-D printing, Basic Income and a widespread evenly distributed ownership of capital. Voila!
-
Economy is not essential to human life.

the part I play in manufacturing, which is in stamping, I can't be replaced by a machine because a machine can't load a die onto the bolster, bolt it down, program the way it has to function for the tool, load material, run quality checks, and then run the hydraulic press for hours at a time and change the coils every time they run out.
-
If this guy thinks that 3d printing is going to be able to under-cut traditional manufacturing in price, or he thinks that in a decade or so robots costing tens of thousands of dollars will replace factory workers earning a few dollars a day, then I'd have to disagree.

Let me ask you guys something
Does 'Efficient productivity' means companies don't need many people to work for them??
Therefore many workers may get lost their jobs, Aren't they? -
This guy doesn't understand money. He's not talking about a solution, just the next big band aid to the economy.
-
Our debt based money system forces us to have infinite growth. End the Fed. End Gov borrowing.
-
How do you define productivity here??

Watching YouTube @ Work. Well he caught me there :P

France is so progressive compared to North America, if only we weren't all half-retards because of fluoride in the drinking water...

This doesnt exactly inspire the average American factory worker, instead it fills us with dread. Automation is not exactly our best friend, neither is offshoring. Were it not for the greedy executives seeking bigger bonuses by diminishing labor costs by sending labor to Asia America would still be the powerhouse of manufacturing, and her people still prospering. Instead we languish in a country plagued by unavailable commercial property because its occupied by empty warehouses. More innovation is the last thing we need. Stop programming jobs, and let people live their lives. I, as a business major, implore my peers to stop automating, and let there be a human element in the products we consume. I guarantee that it is WAY more profitable and not just to the CEO's and shareholders but to all the stakeholders. nuff said

the worst Ted talk ever
-
Why do french people make no effort with their accent?
-
The growth can not be maintained for ever. Earth does not have infinite resources. We need these technologies to produce things in a smarter, cheaper, better way, not to boost growth. Growth is not an asset, it is a liability. The planet can not survive more growth already.
-
I'm french and listening to him is painful... Rubbish accent, rubbish ideas, and rubbish style, a very real "pure Parisian"...
-
Growth does not equal production increases. Demand also matters. GDP growth is not the only measure of wealth. It is possible to have greater wealth with lower production, by for example durable products and the sharing economy. Still, the next wave of manufacturing is probably as the speaker says.
-
Who the speaker is? Does he have any competence in science and technology? He sounds like he has not: very shallow talk.
-
3D printing works well only for trifles and it's slow and expensive. 3D printed pistol cost $700,000 (1000x of ordinary) and no data about its performance and durability because they are pitiful.
From all talk only one and banal thing hold truth: manufacturing must be flexible and local.I would add another one: there is no other long-term working way to sustainability and avoid nuclear war for resources but gradually depopulate Earth at factor of 20. -
