Exploring Industry 4.0 Maturity Models for Manufacturing

Abstract

This study seeks to conduct a theoretical review of existing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) Maturity Models (MM) within the manufacturing sector, aiming to provide large enterprises with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary advanced practices. By performing an extensive analysis of several maturity models proposed by industry bodies, this research encompasses various scopes and stages to elucidate the current landscape. The objective is to identify and delineate common scopes within these maturity models that are relevant to large/multinational enterprises. Key areas of focus include organizational strategy, smart factory, smart operations, smart products, vertical integration (VI), horizontal integration (HI), employees, leadership, customers, culture, governance, technology, data-driven governance, IT infrastructure, and information systems. The outcome of this literature review offers a synthesized understanding of how these scopes are addressed across different enterprises, providing valuable insights to navigate the industry 4.0 transformation effectively
