Mid-market manufacturers and consumer goods companies are facing rising labor costs, supply chain volatility, quality-control issues, and growing pressure to do more with less.
BOOST Performers AI empowers $20M–$250M operators to deploy IBM watsonx–powered automation that strengthens production efficiency, stabilizes supply chains, improves margins, and increases business value — without major system overhauls or massive CapEx investments.
The era of manual production management is ending.
AI-driven manufacturers are operating with higher margins, stronger resilience, and faster growth.
AI is now the backbone of modern operations because it:
Prevents downtime and reduces defects
Improves throughput and resource allocation
Reduces inventory waste and material costs
Creates more accurate demand and production forecasting
Reduces reliance on human intervention for routine decisions
Manufacturers who implement AI are pulling ahead.
Those who don’t?
They’re falling behind fast.
