Title: | Climbing the Maturity Ladder in Industry 4.0: A Framework for Diagnosis and Action that Combines National and Sectorial Strategies | Authors: | Barata, João Rupino da Cunha, Paulo |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Citation: | Barata, João and Cunha, Paulo Rupino, "Climbing the Maturity Ladder in Industry 4.0: A Framework for Diagnosis and Action that Combines National and Sectorial Strategies" (2017). AMCIS 2017 Proceedings. 7. | Project: | Luso-American Development Foundation (FLAD) | Serial title, monograph or event: | Twenty-third Americas Conference on Information Systems | Place of publication or event: | Boston | Abstract: | We present a framework to assist Industry 4.0 initiatives at countrywide and sector-specific levels. It was created using design-science research in the context of non-metal mineral industry - ceramic, glass, stone, and nanomaterials. Our findings suggest that (1) existing maturity models for Industry 4.0 do not fit all industrial contexts; (2) their use can be discouraging for small and medium-size enterprises planning digital strategies; (3) Industry 4.0 technologies should be considered as prescriptive solutions rather than descriptive dimensions, and (4) it is possible and desirable to consider Industry 4.0 maturity as a co-evolutionary growth of digital services and processes within supply chains. Our proposal provides staged and continuous representations of maturity that can be tailored for each industry. Maturity models can be a prime communication tool for managers and technology providers. Our contribution supports the European efforts to succeed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, shared by millions of industries worldwide. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/115192 | Rights: | openAccess |
