    Digital maturity self-assessment checklist

    Can your manufacturing network support the next stage of digital transformation?

    Many life sciences manufacturers have ambitious digital strategies, but network-wide execution remains a challenge. This quick assessment helps you evaluate the maturity of your manufacturing network and identify the areas most likely to limit future progress.

    1. Can leadership access a consistent, real-time view of manufacturing performance across the entire global network?

    1 = No central visibility, 5 = Full real-time visibility

    2. Are operational metrics and KPIs defined and measured identically at every plant?

    1 = No standardization, 5 = Full standardization across the whole network

    3. Has your organization moved past manual reporting via spreadsheets and email exchanges?

    Yes = 5 points / No = 1 point

    4. How well integrated are your shop-floor systems, such as historians and MES, with enterprise platforms, such as ERP and LIMS?

    1 = Completely disconnected, 5 = Fully integrated

    5. Is your production data stored in a shared data layer, for example Unified Namespace, rather than isolated local historians?

    Yes = 5 points / No = 1 point

    6. To what extent does your organization rely on paper-based records or manual data entry for production logs?

    1 = Heavily paper-based, 5 = Fully digital/automated

    7. Are digital investments prioritized based on network-wide ROI rather than reacting to local site pressures?

    1 = Reactive/Local, 5 = Strategic/Network-wide

    8. Are your IT and OT teams aligned on shared success metrics and timelines?

    1 = Not aligned at all, 5 = Fully aligned

    9. Is there clear, centralized ownership, such as a Digital Transformation Office, for scaling digital initiatives across sites?

    Yes = 5 points / No = 1 point

    10. Are shop-floor operators and subject-matter experts actively involved in the design and selection of new digital tools?

    1 = Top-down only, 5 = Fully collaborative

    11. When a digital pilot succeeds at one plant, can it be replicated at another site without significant custom rework?

    1 = Excessive customization required at every site, 5 = No customization required

    12. Does your organization use a shared architectural standard, like a common data model, that all sites must follow?

    Yes = 5 points / No = 1 point

    13. How would you rate your organization's readiness for change — including leadership alignment, employee engagement, and capability building — to support digital transformation?

    1 = No change management in place, 5 = Fully structured change management program
