Shortening time to market through digital twins.

This document summarizes a case where Accenture worked with a major materials manufacturing client to shorten the time to market by utilizing digital twins. The client was conducting trial runs on actual machines before mass production, which led to a reliance on specific expertise for verification know-how, dependence on actual machines and trial runs, and verification data confined to specific locations, resulting in prolonged startup times. Accenture provided support focusing on three key areas: "building digital twins," "establishing decision-making processes," and "calculating return on investment (planning and conceptualization)." By conducting pre-mass production operations through simulation and designing verification items and acceptance criteria for pre-mass production trial runs, the process was transformed to allow decision-making to be replicated without experts. As a result, the mass production startup period was shortened from 9 months to 3 months, a reduction of approximately 65%. The expected benefits include a 5.5% increase in total sales per product lifecycle and a 50% cost reduction through operation without actual machines during trial runs.
