Manufacturers worldwide invest heavily in digital transformation, yet many struggle to answer critical questions: Where do we stand? What should we improve first? Is transformation delivering real impact? Are we competitive enough?
SIRI – The Smart Industry Readiness Index from INCIT , a globally recognized framework used by over 5,000 factories across 67 countries, providing manufacturers with a clear roadmap to navigate Industry 4.0 transformation with confidence.
SIRI evaluates manufacturing readiness across three fundamental building blocks:
Process: Integration across operations, supply chain, and product lifecycle
Technology: Automation, connectivity, and intelligence across shop floor, enterprise, and facility
Organization: Talent readiness and strategic governance
Through 8 Pillars and 16 Dimensions, SIRI delivers a comprehensive 2-3 day assessment that establishes your baseline digital maturity and creates a prioritized transformation roadmap using the TIER Framework (Today’s state, Impact to bottom line, Essential business objectives, References to broader community).
Clear Baseline: Understand your current digital maturity across all dimensions
Strategic Prioritization: Focus resources on high-impact areas that drive competitive advantage
Benchmarking Excellence: Compare performance against global and regional peers
ROI Validation: Link transformation initiatives to tangible business outcomes
Data-Driven Decisions: Make informed investments backed by objective assessments
Moving beyond theoretical maturity scores, EPIK measures the actual impact of digital transformation across five performance metrics:
-Operational Efficiency (OEE, Cycle Time, Labor Efficiency)
-Quality & Defects (First Pass Yield, Scrap Rate)
-Maintenance & Flow Reliability
-Resources Consumption (Energy, Circularity)
-Enterprise Agility (Lead Time, Flexibility)
Track before-and-after KPIs to prove transformation delivers productivity gains, not just digital facades.
This powerful analytics platform segments peer benchmarking by:
1 Economic Zone & Geographical Alliances
2.Industry Cluster & Sub-Segment
3.Employment Size (±30%)
Gain competitive intelligence that transforms static reports into dynamic decision-making tools. Understand precisely where you stand in the global manufacturing landscape and identify the 90% gap between bottom performers and best-in-class operations.
Conclusion: SIRI isn’t just about assessment—it’s about acceleration. With EPIK proving impact and Digital Factory Accelerator revealing competitive positioning, manufacturers gain everything needed to survive and thrive in the digital age.
