• Definition: MDM refers to the processes, tools, and techniques used by manufacturing
organizations to effectively collect, organize, and analyse data from various sources.
• Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, require mastering MDM for manufacturers to
remain competitive.
• Manufacturers gain visibility across the entire production process, from suppliers and
inventory to shop floor operations and product quality.
1. Single Source of Truth: consolidates data from multiple sources into a single master repository
2. Improved Efficiency: saves time and effort while reducing errors and facilitates reuse of
master data across multiple systems
3. Enhanced Analytics: Clean, consistent data leads to better analysis and reporting. Data
reliability is improved.
4. Agility: organizations respond more quickly to changing market conditions and customer needs
5. Data Governance: centralizes data management tasks like policies, controls, issue
resolution and ensure data quality and compliance with regulations.
6. Customer Centricity: provides a 360 degree customer view that helps better serve and
retain customers

1.4. Implementation of MDM
1. Assess your needs: clearly identify your use cases, data types, integration
requirements, and goals. Involve key stakeholders.
2. Get stakeholder buy-in: multiple departments sponsorship. Clear to each group like
sales, marketing, finance, IT, etc. Address concerns early and get input on needs.
3. Find the right solution: With requirements defined, research MDM solutions. Consider
cloud vs on-premises.
4. Start small: Phase the implementation by data domain or use case.
5. Integrate: Plan how the MDM will integrate with other systems like ERP, CRM, and
databases
6. Cleanse data: Before loading into the MDM, data must be cleansed. Standardize

formats, remove duplicates, and fix inaccuracies.

1. A central master data hub: the single source of truth for master data.
2. Data stores: databases and data warehouses
3. Data integration mechanisms: like ETL tools that extract data from sources,
transform it to match business rules, and load it into the central MDM hub.
4. MDM hub integrations: allows seamless exchange of master data
