“…On the other side, Turkish manufacturing companies face the risk of losing their competitive advantage due to the I40 paradigm's emergence, although, for a long time, they have been taking advantage of low labor costs. Especially, for the competitive sectors of developing and technology-dependent countries, it is essential to present customized approaches by revealing the current status (Yıldırım & Demirba g, 2019).…”

PurposeIndustry 4.0 (I40) is an open window of opportunity for Turkey, a developed country, to eliminate technological dependence and produce with maximum productivity. However, I40, which corresponds to the fourth wave of industrial revolutions, brings both opportunities and challenges. In this context, this study aims to reveal the foresight of managers in the Turkish white goods industry (TWGI) regarding the advantages and challenges of I40 and compare them with the literature.Design/methodology/approachThe Delphi method was used for the study. Data were collected from managers of companies that are members of the White Goods Suppliers Association (BEYSAD). Seventy managers from 55 companies participated in the first round, and 19 managers participated in the second round of Delphi.FindingsThe results show that the most frequently cited advantages are productivity/resource efficiency, data and information-enabled effectiveness/productivity, quality 4.0 and competitiveness/strategy. The most frequently mentioned challenges are financial resources/investment, employee qualification/training, technical/processual challenges and organizational transformation/leadership.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample was limited to the managers of the TWGI.Practical implicationsPlayers in similar ecosystems and policymakers should consider the advantages and respond to potential challenges when creating roadmaps, taking the necessary steps and positioning themselves in the marketplace. In particular, the TWGI – Turkey’s showcase in international markets – should consider the undeniable benefits of the I40 transition to increase innovation.Originality/valueThe findings for the first time highlight the advantages and challenges of I40 in an industry in Turkey, and they will benefit the TWGI, which is among the leaders in Turkey in terms of digital maturity and innovation in its journey to I40.

“…Yıldırım ve Demirbağ [38] bir vaka çalışması aracılığıyla iki Türk beyaz eşya imalat şirketinin Endüstri 4.0 açısından mevcut uygulamalarını incelemişlerdir. Elde ettikleri sonuçlara göre, öncelikle her iki firma da Endüstri 4.0 konusunda bilgili olduğu, A Şirketinin Endüstri 4.0'ı gelişmiş ülkelerin kalkınma stratejisi olarak algılarken, B Şirketinin kavramın teknik tanımına odaklandığı görülmüştür.…”

Beyaz eşya sektöründe Türkiye’nin özellikle stratejik bir konumda olması, yerli ve yabancı birçok üretici için cazip hale gelmiştir. Önemli bir üretim ve ihracat pazarı niteliği taşıyan bu sektöre hizmet veren büyük çaplı firmalar kadar ana üreticileri besleyen KOBİ’lerin de üretime sağladıkları katkı dolayısıyla ana sanayi ile paralel olarak gelişmeleri kaçınılmazdır. Özellikle teknolojik gelişmelerden derinden etkilenen beyaz eşya sektöründe faaliyet gösteren firmaların Endüstri 4.0 dijital dönüşüm yolculuğunda başlangıç noktalarını belirlemeleri başarılı bir dönüşüm için atılması gereken ilk adımdır. Bu çalışmada, firmaların dijital dönüşüm yetkinliklerinin ölçülmesi amacı ile bir sistem tasarlanmıştır. Dört ana kriter, yirmi üç alt kriterden oluşan değerlendirme yaklaşımı ile beyaz eşya sektöründe faaliyet gösteren yedi firma belirlenen kriterlere göre puanlanarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çok kriterli karar verme yöntemlerinden MACHBETH ve EDAS kullanılarak firmaların dijital dönüşüm yetkinliklerinin ölçülmesi hedeflenmiştir. Sonuçta firmaların dijital dönüşümün daha başında oldukları belirlenmiştir.

“…In this topic cluster, 10 documents were found: the main areas of knowledge from which the studies were carried out were: computer science, social sciences, decision sciences, and business management. Several of the documents in this topic emphasize in the need of digital transformation or digitalization (El-Telbany et al, 2020;Quayson et al, 2020;Yıldırım & Demirbağ, 2020) for the improvement of flexibility or productivity in emerging economies. Other papers of the reviewed literature study the effect of or over organizational learning / knowledge (Arias-Pérez et al, 2021;Kacani, 2017;Lin & Hsu, 2017;Tjakraatmadja & Handayani, 2019) About digital transformation (DT) Quayson et al (2020) found out that there are some foundations and successful cases of I4.0 technologies in developing countries and remarked the need for working on some weaknesses as the case of effective use of existing platform technologies, (e.g., blockchain, artificial intelligence, global positioning, 5G and cyber-physical systems).…”

Paper aims: To provide guidelines on current state of the literature on aspects related to the implementation of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) for operations flexibility in emerging economies, and derived from this, propose a conceptual framework for the analysis of the main topics studied. Originality:Based on previous literature reviews on related topics (I4.0 and flexibility), we recognized an opportunity to focus on developing countries which until now has not been documented. Research method:We carried out a systematic review of the literature together with a topic cluster analysis. Main findings:The study revealed that there is a perceived consensus on how Industry 4.0 technologies can impact flexibility in emerging countries. Cloud computing is by far the most adopted technology despite the fact that there is a wide concern about security issues. The use of other technologies and their impact appears to be incipient. Implications for theory and practice:The study presented here can be used as a starting point for new directions of research in terms of adoption of these technologies and new applications developed and/or customized to the realities of emerging countries.
