Factories can improve product quality by implementing quality control measures, using advanced technology, providing training to employees, and listening to customer feedback.

Key components include sourcing, production, inventory management, distribution, and customer service.

Robotics improves manufacturing by increasing efficiency, precision, and safety, while also reducing labor costs and repetitive tasks.

Benefits include reduced costs, improved quality, shorter lead times, increased flexibility, and better customer satisfaction.

Factories can reduce energy consumption through measures such as upgrading equipment, optimizing processes, implementing energy-efficient technologies, and using renewable energy sources.
