“…It is expected that the implementation of the concepts of Industry 4.0 will bring great opportunities, such as: (1) Provide better production and planning control, through the integration of technologies and communication between customers, suppliers, production and other relevant stakeholders, (2) Increase the company's global competitiveness, (3) Become or be seen as a modern company, (4) Improve the quality of the production lines, (5) Become or be seen as a company that provides products with superior performance, (6) Reach a better customer/business interaction (pre-sales/sales/after-sales), (7) Increase market share, (8) Deliver products in less time than competitors, (9) Become or be seen as a trustworthy company, (10) Delivery within the initial forecast [18,[74][75][76][77][78].…”

“…The process is divided into four phases: (i) Planning process-Goals, pilot areas, roles and responsibilities are defined, budget planning and the qualification of the workforce is established; (ii) Technical preparation-Qualify experts and technology, qualify skills; (iii) Pilot implementation-Implement one or two technologies in pilot areas, create knowledge; (iv) Control and improvement-Control project, transfer acquired knowledge to other areas. (6) In a model created by Krishnan et al [18], the basis is the interest of top managers in implementing Industry 4.0. This process must be supported by Government policies to guarantee the financial performance of industries.…”

“…It is expected that the implementation of Industry 4.0 will bring unemployment [74][75][76][77][78][79] to the less qualified workforce, so these companies should be oriented towards alternatives to preserve the income and/or employment of this less favored workforce, reducing inequalities [74][75][76][77][78][79]. It is suggested that social stakeholders such as: Government [95,96], unions (employers and workers), banks, academic institutions, other organizations and institutions, as well as private companies [18,47,72] can join efforts to assist in this process.…”

“…This holistic and sustainable model contributes to the theory of implementation of Industry 4.0, presenting that (i) it is possible to migrate from any stage to Industry 4.0, but to reduce risk exposure and investments it is advisable that companies have at least adopted Automation and Information Technologies; (ii) Cleaner production should be considered a strategic factor to base the implementation process, not as a result of this process, bringing environmental and economic gains, furthermore increasing efficiency and reducing risks to environment and people [5,[8][9][10][11]; (iii) Government, unions, banks, academic institutions, other organizations and institutions, as well as private companies, should join efforts by collaborating with this implementation process [18,47,72], helping to develop sustainable processes, infrastructure and technologies to increase sustainable transformation of these companies towards Industry 4.0; (iv) Due to the risks, complexity and volume of investments, the implementation process must be led by top executives supported by technicians [82,84]; (v) Needs and goals must be defined from the beginning to guide investments and the course of actions [84]; (vi) The peculiarities of each company must be considered before establishing an implementation process; (vii) The model directly contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals 9-Industry, innovation and infrastructure, 12-Responsible consumption and production, and 15-Life on land and, indirectly, to some others.…”

Although Industry 4.0 has received much attention in recent years due to the possibility of increasing companies’ productivity, the implementation process is complex. The aim of this study is to present a holistic model for implementing Industry 4.0 based on cleaner production as a fundamental tool for the development of production systems that meet the Sustainable Development 04026-002Goals (SDGs), and social stakeholders that cooperate with this implementation process, helping to develop sustainable infrastructure, processes and technologies to increase the sustainable transformation of these companies towards Industry 4.0. The method used was literature research, and the Delphi technique was used to ask specialists to contribute with their experience to evaluate and propose improvements to the model, in the form of a consensus. The model contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals 9, 12 and 15. This holistic and sustainable model is a contribution to theory and practice, helping executives, technicians, entrepreneurs and those involved with Industry 4.0 to base the implementation process in the needs and specificities of each company, avoiding the “one fits all” models, considering the peculiarities of each company and the complexity of the implementation process in a more efficient and collaborative digital production ecosystems base, seeking to reduce inequalities, through the joint effort of social stakeholders to find ways to restore and/or improve social harmony, impacted by Industry 4.0.

Although Industry 4.0 was believed to promote sustainable development, it has ignored or misunderstood many prevailing sustainability concerns, which led to the emergence of the Industry 5.0 agenda. While the desirable sustainability values of Industry 5.0 are widely acknowledged, the knowledge of how this agenda can deliver sustainable transformation is lacking. The present study addresses this knowledge gap, explaining how Industry 5.0 transformation should be managed to facilitate sustainable development. Therefore, this study strives to model the underlying mechanism for enabling such transformation. The study conducted a content-centric review of the literature and identified 11 actions and approaches that serve as enablers of Industry 5.0 transformation. The study further conducted the interpretive structural modeling and structured the enablers as an interpretive model explaining steps needed for enabling Industry 5.0. Finally, the study developed the strategy roadmap for enabling Industry 5.0 transformation and sustainable development.Results emphasized stakeholder salience, highlighting the enabling role of stakeholder integration and collaboration in Industry 5.0 transformation. Proactive governmental support is the most driving enabler of Industry 5.0, whereas ecoinnovation and sustainable value network reformation are among the most complex and hard-to-develop enablers. Results offer several implications for policymakers and practitioners, explaining the functionality of each approach and strategy necessary for Industry 5.0 transformation. The roadmap determines the sequential relationships among these approaches and strategies and identifies their optimal development sequence for enabling Industry 5.0 transformation synergistically. Results further identify the codependences among the Industry 5.0 transition enablers and highlight their interactions and complementarities.

The synergy between the concepts of circular economy and Industry 4.0 enables a greater movement toward a sustainable society and addresses environmental and economic issues in organizational operations. This study seeks to implement circular economy and Industry 4.0 for waste reduction and resource optimization in Yazd glass factories. It is significant because Iranian factories are not efficient from this point of view and produce a considerable amount of waste. For this purpose, the mixed methodology has been employed. In the qualitative part, 15 enablers are identified by using the meta‐synthesis method, which are categorized into four economic, human resources, organizational‐managerial, and infrastructure dimensions. In the quantitative stage, the cause‐and‐effect relationship between enablers is identified by using the Fuzzy DEMATEL method, and forward and backward scenarios are formulated using fuzzy cognitive map technique. While the research practical contributions include identification of key enablers in implementing circular supply chain management 4.0, formulation of forward and backward scenarios to guide strategic decision‐making in sustainable practices, and offering actionable insights for waste reduction and resource optimization in the glass industry leading to improved operational efficiency, it has theoretical contributions such as highlighting the significance of specific enablers in the successful implementation of circular supply chain management 4.0, demonstrating the interplay between different enablers and their impact on key aspects, and advancing knowledge on sustainable practices within the context of the glass industry, contributing to environmental sustainability and operational excellence in Iranian factories.
