ICMG Enterprise Anatomy™ Manufacturing Diagnostic Case
Executive Context (P1–P2)
Every manufacturer today runs smart factories. Sensors, robotics, and MES platforms capture millions of data points. Dashboards display efficiency, utilization, and cycle times in real time.
Yet despite visible modernization, profitability remains uneven. One plant performs at benchmark level; another, identical in design, lags by double-digit margins. The difference isn’t equipment. It’s anatomy.
Visible belief: digitization guarantees performance.
Conventional fix: invest in more automation, analytics, and predictive systems.
Why it fails: digital tools amplify local efficiency but can’t repair architectural misalignment.
The coherence across the six perspectives (P1–P6) determines throughput far more than machine intelligence.
This diagnostic, part of the ICMG Enterprise Architecture in Manufacturing series, examines how hidden gate drift between Process (P2) and Logic (P3) fragments flow even in fully digitized plants.
