Sachin Garg Maria Fernanda Reyes Adaptability of Manufacturing Operations through Digital Twins Student: Maria Fernanda Reyes, SCM 2021 Student: Sachin Garg, SCM 2021 Advisor: Dr. Ozden Tozanli Sponsor: Beverage Company ❑ Manufacturing companies globally face challenges in reacting to rapidly changing customer demand and expectations while achieving efficiencies in their SCs. ❑ Digital Twins (DTs) are a relatively new concept in the FMCG industry. ❑ Very few studies have explored how individual supply chain components adapt to achieve responsiveness and agility in supply chains (SCs). 1. How can digital twins react to the complex environment and create a dynamic adaptive mechanism in manufacturing operations along SCs? 2. 2. How can digital twins help increase operational efficiency and value sharing in a supply chain setting? Methodology Motivation / Background Key Questions Relevant Literature ❑ Choi, T. Y., Dooley, K.
