Digital transformation isn’t just a buzzword – it’s the foundation of modern, scalable, and efficient production.
However, for many manufacturers still working with manual or semi-manual processes, the transition can seem overwhelming.
At GCC Consultancy, we work closely with teams across Vietnam to help them move from manual to digital, using practical strategies, local training, and proven tools. If you’re wondering where to begin – this guide is for you.
Step 1: Start Small — Digitize What You Already Have
You don’t need to overhaul everything overnight. The best digital transformations often begin with small, focused steps.
For example:
- Replace handwritten job sheets with digital production orders
- Move from Excel-based part lists to integrated BOM management
- Use a digital dashboard to monitor production queues
These small wins build team confidence, minimize disruption, and create a solid foundation for larger changes.
Step 2: Connect Departments Through Shared Systems
A common challenge in traditional workshops is information silos – where each team uses separate, disconnected tools.
By introducing shared systems like CAD/CAM software or a MES, you connect your design, production, and planning teams.
The result:
- Less rework from miscommunication
- Real-time updates across departments
- Greater visibility for decision-makers
GCC Consultancy offers flexible solutions that match your factory’s current size and future goals – without forcing a one-size-fits-all system.
Step 3: Focus on Feedback and Real Metrics
Once you begin digitizing, it’s important to collect feedback and measure the impact. Look at:
- Setup times
- Downtime causes
- Material usage accuracy
- Error rates
Digital tools help you track these KPIs clearly and continuously. More importantly, they allow you to respond quickly and adjust before small issues become big ones.
