The manufacturing sector in most countries of the world remains the core driver of GDP growth and employment.
The benefits of the manufacturing sector in socio- economic development of any country can not be overemphasized.
The benefits and potentials might seem endless, however, there are certain factors limiting its exponential growth in recent time.
Some of this challenges for the purpose of this work are:
Inefficiency.
Sourcing of materials
IP protection.
Sourcing experts
Protecting intellectual assets.
Track records .
Minimum orders. etc
Inefficiency: inability of effectively managing the complex orders, many clients, geographical distant production sites combined with price competition etc.
- Sourcing Costs: the challenge's of sourcing materials. In most cases, many a manufacturer is left with no choice than to outsource the task to internal or external brokers.....which will undoubtedly come at a cost, thereby increasing the cost of production.
Protecting intellectual assets: the inability of protecting intellectual assets.
Track Records: lack of good mechanism for tracking location of projects and client's orders.
Sourcing for experts: this aspect can be cost-intensive considering the traditional mechanism of sourcing for experts. It would affect profitability adversely.
This has necessitated the need for a platform that can provide a lasting solution to these challenges.
Introducing Productivist, The first peer to peer network connecting private and professional manufacturers to their clients by mapping global manufacturing capacities.
Productivist aims leveraging off the blockchain technology to provide decentralised solution, by creating an open data stream where private individuals and companies of any scale can contribute to power the industrial revolution 4.0.
The productivist already running a company they created in 2016--- Freelabster.com a collaborative network which connects 3D printing experts to potential clients. This network has grown over the past 2 years and it continues to grow daily
The productivist blockchain project would open the concept of freelabster to all manufacturing technology and give them access to a global map of manufacturing capacities, while providing security and privacy through its smart contract protocol.
The productivist blockchain architecture
Open blockchain
3D printing.
Global Solution.
Open blockchain is where anyone can contribute to the system.
3D Printing: users would be able to access the pivblic or private dedicated platforms through this layer.
Global Solution: users would be able to access all types of manufacturing technology through this layer.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A buyer would need to initiate a project through the productivist system.
Due diligence would then be carried out on the buyer by the productivity system through the blockchain technology.
If the project is accepted after due diligence, the productivist system will select a manufacturer to complete it based on their history, certifications, manufacturing capacities, availability, client's location. All this is done in order to ensure transparency and efficiency.
The manufactures selected are offered opportunity to bid for the project. The productivist will then select the best offer that would meet buyer's specifications.
Upon the commencement of the project, the platform will allow the selected manufacturer to allocate a slot in his manufacturing flow for that specific job while informing the buyer live of the progression of his order.
BENEFITS OF PRODUCTIVIST TO MANUFACTURERS AND BUYERS ?
Manufacturers would be able to efficiently manage orders received and at a much lower financial bearing on the production cost when compared to the traditional mechanism of managing client's orders.
Best pricing practices and production efficiency is guaranteed.
Ability to monitor current projects in real- time.
Buyers would be able to produce their own products seamlessly.
Clients would be able to optimize their supply chain by multiplying their production locations without having to invest in new manufacturing capacity.
Buyers would be able to find the perfect match within the manufacturers database.
Buyers purchasing specifications are protected within a distributed manufacturing system.
Manufacturers would be able to protect their intellectual asset and ip . etc.
