Some organisations resist change, but there is a growing need to consider the following approach:
- First, conduct an analysis of the risks and benefits of implementing Industry 4.0
- Having a clear vision of your needs going forward and how Industry 4.0 impacts your business, suppliers, contractors, clients and customers
- Based on that vision, plans are made to shape future operations
- Based on those plans, current operations are mapped and reviewed prior to the change
- Finally, the future mode of operation is completed, this should include an effective approach for the following:
- program management
- stakeholder engagement
- benefits
- risk management
These need to be considered in order to control the transformation and its outcome.
The chart below identifies the main activities that are enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies.
