“…(Gilchrist, 2016;Lin et al, 2017). Industry 4.0 facilitates highly organized interconnections among materials, goods and equipment, while satisfying customer requirements in a supply chain context (Branke et al, 2016). The application of Industry 4.0 technologies enables the real-time monitoring and controlling of important production parameters, such as production status, energy consumption, flow of materials, customers' orders, and suppliers' data (de Sousa Jabbour et al, 2018b).…”

Evaluating challenges to Industry 4.0 initiatives for supply chain sustainability in emerging economies Abstract: Industry 4.0 initiatives can influence whole business system via transforming the means the products are designed, produced, delivered and discarded. Industry 4.0 is relatively novel to developing nations, especially in India and needs a clear definition for proper understanding and practice in business. This paper aims to recognize key challenges to Industry 4.0 initiatives and analyze the identified key challenges to prioritize them for effective Industry 4.0 concepts for supply chain sustainability in emerging economies by taking Indian manufacturing industry perspective. Industry 4.0 initiatives can help industries to incorporate environmental protection and control initiatives as well as process safety measures in supply chains towards sustainable supply chains. However, adoption of Industry 4.0 initiatives are not so easy due to existence of many challenges. Therefore, the present research identifies 18 key challenges to Industry 4.0 initiatives for developing supply chain sustainability using an extensive literature review. These challenges were analyzed through 96 responses received from Indian manufacturing sector using a questionnaire based survey. Explanatory Factor Analysis results classified identified challenges into four key dimensions of challenges. Analytical Hierarchy Process further ranks the identified dimensions of challenges and related challenges. Findings of the study revealed that Organizational challenges holds the highest importance followed by Legal and ethical issues, Strategic challenges, and Technological challenges. This work is very useful for practitioners, policy makers, regulatory bodies and managers to develop an in-depth understanding of Industry 4.0 initiatives and eradicate the potential challenges in adopting Industry 4.0 initiatives for supply chain sustainability.

“…People in general and operators in particular seem to become increasingly worried about the upcoming increasing era of I4.0 due to many reasons, mainly in regard of work opportunities [57]. Although, some more optimistic ones are even trying to foresee very beneficial conditions and opportunities to workers and people in general [55,62,69,82,83].…”

Evaluation of the Relation between Lean Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and Sustainability

Nowadays, Lean Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and Sustainability are important concerns for the companies and in a general way for the society, principally, the influence of the two production philosophies, Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, in the three main pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental, and social. According to the literature review done in this work, these relations are not well known and are dispersed by different sustainability’s criteria. To address this gap, this research proposes a structural equation model, with six hypotheses, to quantitatively measure the effects of Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, in Sustainability. To statistically validate such hypotheses, we collected 252 valid questionnaires from industrial companies of Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain). Results show that: (1) it is not conclusive that Lean Manufacturing is correlated with any of the sustainability pillars; and (2) Industry 4.0 shows a strong correlation with the three sustainability pillars. These results can contribute as an important decision support for the industrial companies and its stakeholders, even because not all the results are in line with other opinions and studies.

“…I4.0 is distinguished in terms of higher adaptability, resource usage, economics, integrating customers and business partners in a SC context (Fallahpour et al, 2017c). I4.0 visualises factories and SCs in such a manner that products and equipment are all interlinked through the internet, communicate with each other and exchange/collect/analyse data (Sung, 2018) and processes in the system through Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) (Branke et al, 2016). CPS can be understood as transformative technologies for interconnecting systems between its physical devices and computational assets (Lee et al, 2015;Leitão et al, 2016).…”

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and sustainability are recent buzzwords in manufacturing environments. However, the connection between these two concepts is less explored in the literature. In the current business context, the future generation of manufacturing systems is greatly influenced by the rapid advancement of information technology. Therefore, this study aims to examine the drivers of I4.0 to diffuse sustainability in Supply Chains (SCs). This research identifies the most relevant drivers through the literature and discusses them with area experts. Afterwards, an empirical analysis is conducted to validate the key drivers. Finally, the Grey based DEMATEL method is employed to examine the influential strength of the identified drivers and to build an interrelationship diagram. 'Government supportive policies' and 'Collaboration and transparency among supply chain members' were reported as highly significant drivers of I4.0. This study is an initial effort that investigates the key drivers of I4.0 to achieve high triple bottom line (ecological-economic-social) gains in SCs by taking an example from an emerging economy, i.e. India. This study may help managers, practitioners and policy makers interested in I4.0 applications to diffuse sustainability in SCs.
