“…Following three industrial revolution phases, we are now privy to the fourth industrial revolution. This industrial revolution phase was initially cited by the federal government of Germany in 2011 (Roblek, Meško, and Krapež, 2016, Mohamad, et al, 2018, Mohamad, et al, 2019. Often used in the same vein, the expressions IoT, fourth industrial revolution, industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems, are currently in the limelight ( Mohamad, et al, 2019, Dittrich, 2016.…”

The advent, of Libya‘s fourth industrial revolution (4IR), rendered the structure of the country‘s smart factories exceedingly intricate, vibrant and variable. Several investigators, in this domain, believe that the most significant factors, influencing the outcome of Libya‘s 4IR, are the skills gap and manpower development issues. In order for the 4IR to progress, it is crucial that more sophisticated capabilities be developed. This undertaking should begin with an assessment of the existing expertise of the stakeholders themselves (self-evaluation). The purpose of this exercise, is to identify the deficiency in skills, with regards to the skill sets, that are essential for the 4IR. This calls an evaluation of the stakeholders‘ degree of comprehension regarding the 4IR, and their willingness to involve themselves in this exercise. Stakeholders both within and beyond Libya‘s manufacturing division, should be taken into account for this evaluation. The main objective, of this study, is to ascertain the impact of 4IR, on the aspects of human labour and work organization. To achieve this objective, we opted for the quantitative method. A questionnaire was formulated to scrutinize every single detail in the manpower‘s supply chain, stretching from Libya‘s learning system to its workforce.

This study delves into how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Malaysian glove industry's supply chain and triggered the adoption of digitalization to enhance supply chain performance (SCP). Through surveys and interviews, it was discovered that the pandemic negatively affected business performance but prompted increased digitalization adoption. Commonly utilized digital solutions include Big Data Analytics (BDA), Internet of Things (IoT), and Cloud Computing (CC), while less commonly adopted solutions include Augmented Reality (AR) and Additive Manufacturing (AM). The research underscores a positive link between digitalization and SCP, stressing the significance of digital capabilities in sustaining supply chain resilience and responsiveness. However, challenges such as cultural shifts in work practices and investment apprehensions impede digitalization endeavors. The study provides insights for industry practitioners on harnessing digitalization to alleviate supply chain disruptions and offers recommendations for effective digitalization strategies.

“…Therefore, the product, which is to be built, will be of better quality, while production systems are more efficient, easier to maintain, and more cost effective. I4R is differentiated by a few characteristics of new technologies, for example physical, digital, and biological worlds (Mohamad, Sukarma, Mohamad, Salleh, Rahman, Rahman, & Sulaiman 2018). The improvement in technologies is bringing significant effects on the development plans of industries, economies, and governments.…”

This chapter aims to explore and discuss substantial changes in critical skills development and education systems for I4R (Industry 4.0 Revolution) in Africa, and to equate different educational approaches evolving in connection with education in Africa. Methodologically, the chapter follows a qualitative approach to synthesise literature to answer questions like, ‘How can African nations respond to I4R, or will they remain behind as it was the case with the first three industrial revolutions?’ ‘Are Africa’s education systems ready to produce human capital for I4R?’ Finally, ‘How can organisations leverage the power of I4R to tackle today’s challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic, internationalisation, and globalisation?’ The chapter offers an evaluative viewpoint on the diverse innovative responses evolving in Africa’s education systems and in curriculum development for sustainable development to address challenges of I4R. The chapter provides twofold implications on how education in Africa may act both as a source of competitive advantage for African nations and an enhancement of their commitment to industrialisation. This chapter further fills a literature gap regarding how education policymakers can take advantage of their youthful population and opportunities to create an innovative society for I4R and beyond.
