Analyzing Roadblocks of Industry 4.0 Adoption Using Graph Theory and Matrix Approach
通过文献综述和专家意见识别工业4.0采纳的障碍，分为管理、运营、人力资源、程序和五类，并用图论和矩阵方法评估其相对强度，为汽车行业提供案例。
The manufacturing era is going through an evolutionary phase from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0 (I4.0). In 2011, Germany initiated I4.0 during the Hanover fair in collaboration with industrialists, academicians, and researchers. The benefits of implementing I4.0 are attracting the curiosity of practitioners. In current academic literature, there is little discussion related to analyzing potential roadblocks of I4.0 implementation using mathematical modeling. This article has identified roadblocks through an extensive literature review, and validation has been carried out by gathering experts’ opinions. As per the findings, the identified roadblocks have been categorized into five sections: management roadblocks, operational roadblocks, human resource roadblocks, procedural, and behavioral roadblocks. A case study of the automobile industry has been discussed. The data were collected from experts in the area of I4.0. A graph theory and matrix approach was applied to evaluate the relative intensity of the roadblocks, comprehensive I4.0 Index and its range for each category of roadblock. Implications for industrialists, practitioners, and academicians are provided.
