Welcome to The 2023 Manufacturing Agility Assessment
Where is manufacturing today in terms of agility?
Last year, The Manufacturer conducted the second Manufacturing Agility Assessment, sponsored by HSO. We learned how many manufacturers had overestimated their own agility following the global pandemic. However, when faced with new challenges in the form of significant global events, these organisations soon realised they weren't as agile as they thought.
But where is manufacturing today in terms of agility and what does the future hold?
The 2023 Manufacturing Agility Assessment, the third iteration of its kind, provides a deep dive into the industry’s agility, strategy, challenges and goals.

The 2023 Manufacturing Agility Assessment is based on a survey of manufacturing professionals between June and July 2023. To add further context, The Manufacturer Editorial Team conducted follow-up interviews with a number of respondents. The end result is a report that is rich in data insights and underpinned by a real-world narrative.
“For me, one factor stands out and that is how many manufacturers are leveraging digital solutions to afford a raft of benefits. As you will learn, numerous companies are increasing their agility, boosting productivity and improving quality by harnessing the power of data.”
Refreshing to hear why many manufacturers are striving to make these tangible agility gains: for the competitive advantage that doing so affords, potentially opening doors to new business opportunities
