The paper presents the results of the current state of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) production companies benchmarked to the Croatian production companies and to the concept of Industry 4.0, using the same methodology formerly used in Croatia related to implementation of Industry 4.0. Assessment was made on a sample of 47 manufacturing companies from different industries. Responses were collected through online questionnaires and interviews. The assessment was made using structured questionnaire with questions related to the business processes of a company from product development, production and to the quality assurance and logistics. According to the collected responses and the methodology used, the level of development of B&H production companies is 2,19, which is very close to the Croatian companies, in which the level of development was at 2.15, but in a survey conducted three years earlier. This research confirmed that the level of development of B&H manufacturing companies is actually the same as with the Croatian companies.

Abstract The basic indicators of manufacturing industry’s level of development are still at an unenviable level, although it provides the majority of tradable goods of Serbian economy and has the most significant share in gross domestic product. This state of the manufacturing industry in Serbia is the result of an unstable macroeconomic environment and institutional insecurity, as well as an inadequate management approach in companies of this sector. Taking into account the situation, there is an obvious need to change management approach in these companies, which includes improving their budgeting processes and systems. Budgeting, as a management instrument, has become important in companies in Serbia only in the last decades, that is, after the change of the economic system. The results of the conducted empirical study, aiming to perceive the current state and relevant management attitudes regarding the implementation of certain budgeting concepts in manufacturing companies in Serbia, are presented in this paper. The study aims to determine the current presence of certain budgeting concepts, as well as which concepts the management of the sample companies intends to implement in the future, since it considers them an appropriate and a good solution for its company, taking into account the specifics of its environment and business. The presented results will show whether manufacturing companies in Serbia follow global trends in budgeting practices that relate to the implementation of modern budgeting concepts with flexibility, customer focus and performance based as their key features.

This chapter proposes a knowledge space concept and a recursive approach to servitizing in the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing companies need to move up the value chain and compete on the basis of value delivered rather than on the basis of typical products. Therefore, more corporations are adding value to their core corporate offerings through services, which is called servitization, and the strength of service activities within the manufacturing industry (servitization) has become the main source of competitive advantage. This chapter identifies two exclusive approaches to adapting servitization in the manufacturing industry called the knowledge space concept and recursive approach, which also explains the value co-creation process with customers through integrating “B-to-B to C,” which produces a company that is a value provider.

This paper analyses the relationships between the Project Management Offices (PMOs) functions and the results of performance indicators of product development projects, considering the triple constraint: time, cost, quality. A survey was conducted on a sample of 35 Brazilian manufacturing companies, which have a Product Development Process and a support of PMO for product projects. Although the survey´s results pointed out the presence of Project Management Offices on companies’ structure, it does not guarantee the success on project´s triple constraints, the benefits management was a PMO function correlated to cost performance. It suggests that if a company structure projects as programs, an effort to guarantee the focus on benefits rather than only on project’s results can drive good performance on costs.

Industry 4.0 (I4.0), which reshapes traditional production and operation methods and causes companies to be under digital transformation, is currently an evolving research topic. Although advanced technologies can be easily adopted by large companies. In particular, there are still challenges in the adoption and implementation of I4.0 technologies in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study examines the readiness of companies in the machinery manufacturing industry to implement I4.0 technologies in the context of SMEs. To achieve this goal, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach including the pythagorean Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (PFAHP) and fuzzy VIKOR (FVIKOR) is proposed. First, existing readiness models linked to the implementation of I4.0 technologies have been studied to specify key enablers. Then, the PFAHP method is used to obtain weights of enablers on I4.0 technologies. Finally, FVIKOR is applied to obtain ranking for five companies. A case study is conducted to measure the level of readiness of five manufacturing companies in Konya.

Innovation has been the key pillar of success for economic growth especially for developing countries. Malaysia is one resorting to both universities and industries to collaborate in a more engaging and concentrated fashion to accelerate innovation growth especially in the manufacturing sector. Despite the high number of university industry collaborations, the return rate of investments is low. This suggest a mismatch between the demands of both the university and industry. On that grounds, it is important to address this research gap, for it will provide insights to help industries and universities understand how academic collaborations can be intensified to spur innovation. The aim of this paper is to establish Technology Sharing as a conduit in University Industry Collaboration to intensifying innovation within the Malaysian Manufacturing Landscape. The paper is based on findings of a quantitative approach through survey questionnaire to determine a strong relationship on Technology Sharing through University Industry Collaboration as a source of innovation in the manufacturing industry. A total of 120 companies within the manufacturing landscape were survey and analysed using paired sample T-test. The mean scores were translated into percentages to amplify the magnitude of knowledge improvement and product development with Technology Sharing in manufacturing against the Business expenditure on R&D (BERD). The findings reveal, Technology Sharing through University Industry Collaboration improves knowledge within the company significantly. This generation of new knowledge is a source of innovation in product development to enhance the product/process/technology of the manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The findings also show that with Technology Sharing, companies’ absorptive capacity of new product development is significant. Improvement of knowledge translates into product development and augments innovation. This further ascertains the relationship of Technology Sharing in intensifying University Industry Collaboration to the growth of innovation within the Malaysian Manufacturing landscape.

This research discusses Indonesia's readiness to implement industry 4.0. We classified the Indonesia manufacturing companies' readiness, which is listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange, in industry 4.0 based on the 2018 annual reports. We considered 38 variables from those reports and reduced them using principal component analysis into 11 variables. Using clustering analysis on the reduced dataset, we found three clusters representing the readiness level in implementing industry 4.0.  Finally, we used the decision tree for analysing the classification rules. As the finding of this study, Total book value of the machine is the variable that defined the readiness of a company in industry 4.0. The bigger those values are, the more ready a company to compete in industry 4.0. The other measures, i.e., Total cost of revenue by total revenue; Direct labor cost; Total revenue/Total employee and Transportation cost/Total revenue, will define the readiness of a manufacturing company to transform into industry 4.0. or not ready to transform into industry 4.0.

Nowadays, manufacturing companies in Indonesia are facing a great challenge in Industry 4.0 era. Manufacturing companies perceive Industry 4.0 is complex and could disturb their business process with uncertainty in results by implementing it. In other side, manufacturing companies also have difficulty in assessing their readiness to start Industry 4.0 transformation process and fail to prepare strategies and action plans clearly. This research developed a measurement model of Industry 4.0 readiness with 2 aspects, 5 dimensions and 20 variables that could be used by manufacturing companies to asses their current state. The dimensions “Awareness” and  “Leadership and Strategy” are used to measure company readiness in “Knowledge” aspect, while the dimensions “People and Culture”, “Technology” and “Operation” are used to measure company readiness in “Resources Capability” aspect. The result of the measurement categories the company in 4 level of readiness, i.e.: “Not Ready”, “Conditional Ready”, “Basic Readiness” and “Fully Ready”. This model has been tested and used to measure Industry 4.0 readiness for an electronic manufacturing company located in Jabodetabek and showed that the model is easy and practical to be used in a real manufacturing company.   Keywords: Industry 4.0, readiness measurement, readiness model, readiness index

The Industry 4.0 paradigm refers to a large set of technologies that will transform the way that the manufacturing industry will perform. Nowadays, those technologies and the potential benefits they offer are not fully understood and mastered by companies, and the propagation of the associated concepts is slow. However, in the past few years, some successful implementations of Industry 4.0-compliant technologies have been seen emerging in the literature. A systematic literature study has been conducted to identify the suggested methodologies for successful implementations. Following this analysis, identified patterns are synthesized as an implementation framework denoted as IPSI (Identification–Preparation–Simulation–Implementation). This framework was synthesized so as to be used for the first implementation of technologies in a company, thus increasing the chances of acceptability of those technologies. Three case studies, concerning three different technologies in three different manufacturing fields, were chosen to be confronted by the framework and its validity on the global manufacturing field is discussed.
