The latest geopolitical developments enforced countries to focus more on local manufacturing both commodities and high-tech products. I had thought about “Local Manufacturing System” many years ago as a much important revolution compared to Industry 4.0. It relied on developing new manufacturing systems that can achieve economies of scale at a lower volume and ultimately manufacture products individually. Therefore, manufacturing facilities can be distributed around the country. Development of new technologies and establishing new facilities fast required one critical thing, qualified humans. The standard solution relied on increased education expenditure. Education is important; however, the humans are so diverse that obtaining the right people in right numbers is not possible. I propose an alternative solution to this problem.
Lowering the complexity of problems to allow even the less qualified person to achieve the expected goal.
Current automation systems and software development platforms are very complex. Additionally, the software platforms change so frequently that finding the right person is almost impossible. Humanity needs more stable and simpler platforms to progress faster. If I make an analogy to the current situation, it would be like changing the grammar of a language every year and forcing the writers to rewrite their books over and over again.
Lower the complexity and immediately you have more people meeting your criteria.
