Readiness and Maturity of Manufacturing Enterprises for Industry 4.0

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is perceived as an industrial concept which requires incorporation of both value-adding business divisions and value-added chain applying emerging technologies to provide digital solutions. However, there is still a lack of knowledge and understanding of this concept, especially about its implementation, project outcomes and investment costs. Thus, we aimed to analyze maturity models as they show current state of enterprises and their path to pursue to implement Industry 4.0 strategy. In order to achieve it, their dimensions and characteristics were deeply investigated. We referred to their maturity indexes what allowed us to propose to use Rough Set Theory to maturity assessment of enterprises.
