The article explores challenges and different perspectives on digital transformation in the manufacturing industry. By studying four Swedish manufacturing companies, the researchers found that digital transformation can mean different things within a company. They also discovered that 'digitalisation' is a more commonly used term than 'digital transformation' in the industry. Challenges include a lack of best practices, varying degrees of standardization, and limitations in transferring technical solutions between factories. These findings are important for operations managers and others interested in digital transformation in manufacturing.
