Key Findings & Highlights:

This NelsonHall vendor assessment analyzes IBM GBS’ offerings and capabilities in digital manufacturing services.

IBM GBS highlights the IBM background in the manufacturing sector thanks to its high-tech background. The company still has manufacturing plants, where it deploys new technologies such as computer vision-based quality inspection for 30k electronic components. In line with its manufacturing presence, IBM also has invested in its supply chain, for instance, around truck routing optimization and track-and-trace. It spends annually approximately $6bn in supply chain and procurement.

As a result of this manufacturing background, IBM has developed internally IT applications, some of which have become software products, e.g., SiView, an MES mainly used by semiconductor and electronics firms in Japan, China, and Taiwan, expanding outside of the electronics industries. Also, with its Maximo software product, the company has a tier-one presence in enterprise asset management.

Note that software products such as Maximo are out of the scope of this study on digital manufacturing services.
