2. Future manufacturing plants will use only fossil fuels for energy. (renewable energy sources)
3. Industrial engineers will design machines that are inefficient. (highly energy-efficient)
4. Production lines will move slower in the future. (operate at higher speeds due to automation)
5. Factories will continue to produce a lot of waste. (implement zero-waste manufacturing
techniques)
6. Supply chains will be less efficient in the future. (optimized with AI and real-time tracking)
