Critical success factors in implementing Industry 4.0 from an organisational point of view: a literature analysis

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution implementation is a complex process, that requires substantial resources and efforts, and yet the results are very uncertain. The ERP hype has already reached SMEs, so the authors have examined the strategies, methods and critical success factors from SMEs point of view. The results of our survey in SMEs in Slovenia have shown that SMEs have to pay attention to different critical success factors in different phases of the implementation process. Moreover, there are differences in implementation process as opposed to large companies. Case studies of two SMEs have shown similar results. Recommendations for future SME implementations and comments of our findings can be found in conclusion.

Set Up

Purpose Critical success factors (CSF) for lean six sigma (LSS) using quality 4.0 are not researched so far. This study aims to bridge this gap. It also validates CSF already identified for LSS under conventional technologies. Design methodology approach Empirical research using the questionnaire method is conducted. Construct of the questionnaire is checked using Cronbach’s alpha and responses received are analysed using t-test and exploratory factor analysis. Findings In total, 20 factors are evaluated for LSS success. It includes 7 factors related to quality 4.0 technologies and 13 related to the conventional set-up. All 7 quality 4.0 related factors were found critical; whereas, under traditional set-up, 11 factors out of 13 were found critical. Practical implications The study will help enterprises in the fast and effective adoption of quality 4.0 and seamless integration with LSS. The post-Covid-19 business scenario is expected to be information technology focussed. The findings of this study will be useful in these circumstances. Consultants and practitioners can prioritise their efforts based on newly identified CSF. The new revelation about CSF for LSS in quality 4.0 enriches theory as well. Social implications Developing skills based on newly identified CSF will help people in remaining employable in the era of automation, robotics and artificial intelligence which is otherwise ill-famed for destroying jobs. Originality value CSF for LSS using quality 4.0 is a new contribution. It differentiates CSF established earlier for conventional technologies. Moreover, many CSF are common for LSS and industry 4.0, therefore this study will also help in smoother adoption of industry 4.0/quality 4.0 in organisations.

Machinery Manufacturing

Various industries related to daily life are related to the precision machinery industry (PMI). With the pace of Industry 4.0, PMI is one of the industries with great development potential. Renewal progress has not only caused changes in life but also revealed a significant impact on occupations. In recent years, the rise of Industry 4.0 has increased the output value of various industries. The launch of Industry 4.0 has led to global manufacturing initiatives to improve production efficiency and to reduce its burden. In order to increase its industrial benefit as the goal, it is important to discuss the problems and challenges that people face. Therefore, this study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to focus on the objectives of the research on the critical success factors of intelligentization in PMI. This study not only expects to provide the existing machinery manufacturing industry and the management policies for the future investment in PMI manufacturer reference value but also expects to serve as an academic reference for government policy considerations and scholars in the machinery manufacturing industry.

Intrinsic Complexity

Industry 4.0 technologies may provide great improvements in the productive environment of continuous chemical industries. For example, the availability of real-time data management improves unit operations integration in process intensification. This improvements provide increased profitability, safety, sustainability and fault prediction capability. However, the sector presents specific obstacles in deploying 4.0 technologies because of its intrinsic complexity. This paper objective is to identify the sector-specific difficulties and Critical Success Factors when implementing Industry 4.0 technologies. A comprehensive systematic literature review with content analysis was carried out . Among the emerging necessities identified, the need to simplify complex systems and intensify operations is highlighted. The literature also converges on the urgency for developing reliable systems for adverse event management and assessment models for health, safety and environmental management. This paper is therefore both a tool for managers who seek information when implementing 4.0 technologies and researchers who may be looking for new topics in this area. Future research opportunities in the area are also presented.
