Abstract
• While product innovation and differentiation is always important, operational innovations lead to a more productive and profitable manufacturing company.
• Innovation in the manufacturing sector has a dramatic impact not just on the bottom line of individual companies, but also on the productivity of the entire supply chain.
• Some of the biggest challenges for industrial manufacturing companies include finding the right partners and suppliers and getting the right metrics in place to measure innovation progress.
• In this presentation, I will discuss the importance of creating a company culture that focuses on innovating in all aspects of the business enterprise.

What is innovation?
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D
dollars you I have…... It's not about money. It's
about the people you have, how you're led, and how
much you get it.
Steve Jobs, 1999

Introduction to Innovation in Manufacturing
• Over that past decades, innovation in industrial manufacturing has had an enormous impact on society. Agricultural equipment has made farming vastly more
efficient. Automation has transformed factory floors and made
it cheaper and faster to produce everything from cars to TV’s.
And now new technologies for wind turbines and electrical grids are forming the foundation for a shift to cleaner sources of energy.
And there is a clear correlation between innovation and success in growing revenues!

The most innovative companies overall are growing significantly faster than the least innovative
• In recent research across industries, a clear correlation was found between innovation and success in growing revenues
• The most innovative companies overall are growing significantly faster than the least innovative.
• The difference for industrial manufacturing companies is dramatic – The sector’s most innovative companies grew 38% over the last three years—
nearly 12% per year—while the least innovative managed just 10% growth over the same period.

• Looking forward, the sector’s top innovators have more modest expectations, but they’re still targeting annual growth of 6.9%, while the least innovative companies expect to manage just 3.6%.
• Over the course of five years, that will create a major gap

Why does making innovation a priority have such a major impact?
The answer is simple:
• Top innovators are getting three times as many revenues from new products or services. The least innovative group of industrial manufacturing companies only generated 7.1% of their revenues from new products and services launched in the last year, while the top innovators managed a revenue boost of 22.8%.
• Most industrial manufacturing executives expect that they’ll need to generate the majority of their growth organically going forward. While global expansion was the biggest driver of growth for many over the past decades, PwC research shows that the tide is turning and innovation now tops the list.
• To meet their growth targets and start to catch up with the top innovators, PwC believes industrial manufacturing executives will need to:
Define or refine a solid innovation strategy
Balance their innovation portfolio Make sure they can attract and keep
top talent Enhance collaboration (including
public/ private sector initiatives) Accurately measure what they’re
getting from their innovation investment.

• Where are we now, and where do we want to go?
Is our current market position good enough in the short term—and in the long term?
Is our innovation strategy linked to future business opportunities?
Are we taking into account the possible impact of major trends like the rise of the industrial internet and the emergence of additive manufacturing?
Fundamental questions industrial companies need to ask when taking a closer look at their innovation vision:
Morgan Advanced Materials Confidential Information 14

• What balance of innovation do we need?
Are we focusing solely on product innovation?
What can we do to make sure we’re innovating enough in other areas like business model, services, supply chain and technology?
Do we have the right mix of incremental vs. radical and breakthrough innovation?

On March 21, 1956, Fostoria was the recipient of the First Oscar for Technical Innovation in Movie Production for the development and production of a high efficiency yellow flame arc carbon for motion picture photography.
Loyal Griggs, the director of photography for Cecile B. DeMille’s epic, The Ten Commandments, stated “I don’t know how I could have shot The Ten Commandments without the added power of yellow flame carbons.”

Product innovation and differentiation vs. Operational innovations
• There is a view that companies either have to be product driven innovators or the lowest cost providers
• Where the two philosophies fit well together is be driven by both product and operational innovation in order to provide differentiation
• Process and operational innovation can drive as much, and sometimes more, product innovation than materials science alone
• In need the optimum approach need to consider the whole supply chain and innovation partners, both internally and externally

Challenges in the Manufacturing Sector
• Probably the hardest challenges is getting the right metrics in place to measure innovation progress
• The metric will drive behaviors• All are valuable, but you need to be careful how you
interpret the data• %R+D to sales• % New products less <5 years old• % Sales covered by patents• Size of New Business development pipeline

Creating a company culture that focuses on innovating in all aspects of the business enterprise
• They are all good things to do• In reality, you will focus on the areas that are a priority for
the business today• They will change and you will have to continue to
readdress the balance depending on business needs and market conditions
• The key challenge is maintaining focus on all of the important areas and that can only be done when it becomes part of your company culture and the way you do business
• Designing an Innovation Network
