Collaboration Mechanisms to Increase Productivity in the Context of Industrie 4.0

Imagineering Audit 4.0

“…In this world, each physical ''thing'' has a digital representation with a unique identifier (e.g., the legal entity identifier of a corporate entity), and its information would be continuously updated and transmitted to related parties. Virtualization enables transparency throughout the value chain, with all business processes and their performance presented in detail (Schuh, Potente, Wesch-Potente, Weber, and Prote 2014). Management can detect problems and bottlenecks in real time through virtual process monitoring.…”

“…Management can detect problems and bottlenecks in real time through virtual process monitoring. R&D departments will also benefit from discovering and eliminating shortcomings of new products through virtual reproduction and simulation (Schuh et al 2014).…”

“…For example, there are over 15 billion possible configurations of the Ford Fusion in the German market (Schleich, Schaffer, and Scavarda 2007). Such massive customization demands require the operation of production and assembly lines to be decentralized so that each machine or production line can make individual decisions and adjustments (Schuh et al 2014). As the business environment becomes more complex and dynamic, the trend of decentralization will extend to the auditing profession.…”

Flexible man-man motivation performance management system for Industry 4.0

“…This is also true for the present industrial revolution: The public view is merely on its impact on production processes. Therefore, this paper expands this view and additionally analyses the effects of the relating transformation processes to the indirect departments (Schuh, Potente, Wesch-Potente, Weber, Prote, 2014) [7].…”

From mass customization to product personalization in automotive industry: potentials of industry 4.0

“…Brettel et al (2014) underlined that manufacturing systems support reconfiguration in today's smart factories, where configuration rules can derive distinct topologies. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ DOI: 10.17261/Pressacademia.2017.486 245 Industry 4.0 is a comprehensive approach affecting all business processes, as distinct from all previous industrial revolutions that have focused on production processes and had significant effects on shop floor level (Schuh et al, 2014). It allows incorporation of individual, customer-specific criteria into the design, configuration, ordering, planning, manufacturing and operation phases.…”
