The Book
A Manufacturing Fable About Data, Trust, and Transformation
Sixty-four units exist physically but not digitally. Two competent people are screaming at each other because they live in different realities. And somewhere, a plant manager realizes the problem is not his people or his software. It is the architecture itself.
This is not a story about technology. It is a story about the people who must change before their systems can.
