THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FOR MANUFACTURERS (DTM) IMPROVEMENT PROCESS
Explore this FREE step-by-step approach to rapidly move forward with your digital transformation.

The DTM improvement process is based on a Maturity Model — a structured, step-by-step way to improve a process, function, and organization. Click here to learn about maturity models before starting the improvement process.

Check out the DTM Assessment questionnaire by reviewing it as a handout, a wall-sized poster, or in the online Demo Questionnaire and online Demo Data Visualization.

Prepare your organization for a DTM Assessment by reviewing Playbook materials, including a Facilitator Guide, Day-of-Assessment Guide, Glossary, and Improvement Planning worksheet.

Meet with team members in-person or virtually to answer questions in 8 categories of the live DTM Assessment — then submit your responses.

After you submit your assessment, you’ll immediately see your company’s overall level of digital maturity as well as maturity in eight DTM categories. The DTM Data Visualization also allows you to compare your results vs. a peer group of companies. Come back as often as you like!

Plan your digital improvements with Toolbox materials that support your efforts.

The Digital Transformation Improvement Projects questionnaire anonymously collects information about digital improvement projects — including best practices, technologies, and challenges — that will be compiled into a DTM Case Studies database.

The Digital Transformation for Manufacturers Program was developed to help small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMEs) improve and accelerate digitization within their organizations. The program helps SMME teams to:

assess

the level of digital maturity using the Digital Transformation for Manufacturers Assessment.

eliminate

problems and constraints that limit digital performance.

develop

improvement plans to boost digital capabilities and performance.

collaborate

with supplier and customer partners to speed operations, product development, and customer service.

build

a foundation for continuous improvement of digital capabilities.

The Digital Transformation for Manufacturers Program — the result of a NIST cooperative agreement award to Ohio MEP — is a collaboration of Ohio MEP, Ohio Department of Development, Ohio Manufacturing Institute, and The MPI Group.
