Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of the research is to recognize and rank the barriers preventing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) adoption in Bangladesh’s food and beverage industries. It aims to highlight the major difficulties the sector is currently facing and offer a hierarchical framework for evaluating these barriers.Design/methodology/approachAn exhaustive literature review was conducted along with expert interviews with academics and industry professionals to identify and assess the barriers. The interpretive structural modeling and Matrice d'Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement (ISM-MICMAC) approach was used to classify the identified barriers based on driving and dependent power and understand the interrelationships among them.FindingsA total of 20 barriers to I4.0 adoption in the food and beverage sector of Bangladesh were identified. The top tier of significant barriers includes “Financial constraints,” “Lack of management support,” “Lack of research and development team,” “Lack of adequate skills in the workforce,” “Lack of digital strategy alongside resource scarcity” and “Employee resistance to change.”.Practical implicationsThe created hierarchical framework offers a useful tool for dealing with the noted barriers and assisting with the successful adoption of I4.0 in the food and beverage sector. Businesses can overcome financial constraints by allocating enough resources and obtaining management support. By creating a focused research and development team and giving the workforce the necessary training, the lack of knowledge and skills can be overcome. By developing a thorough digital strategy and making sure that the necessary resources are available, resource scarcity can be overcome. Furthermore, effective change management methods can support the adoption of I4.0 technologies by overcoming employee resistance to change.Originality/valueBy concentrating specifically on the difficulties encountered by the food and beverage industries in Bangladesh as it attempts to adopt I4.0, this study contributes to the body of existing literature. The study’s originality lies in its thorough analysis of barriers and the use of the ISM-MICMAC approach to comprehend how these barriers interact with one another.
在孟加拉国食品和饮料行业采用工业 4.0 的障碍识别和优先排序
研究目的本研究的目的是对阻碍孟加拉国食品和饮料行业采用工业 4.0(I4.0)的障碍进行识别和排序。设计/方法/途径进行了详尽的文献综述,并与学者和行业专业人士进行了专家访谈,以确定和评估这些障碍。采用解释性结构建模和影响矩阵乘法(ISM-MICMAC)方法,根据驱动力和从属力对确定的障碍进行分类,并了解它们之间的相互关系。研究结果共确定了孟加拉国食品和饮料行业采用 I4.0 的 20 个障碍。最主要的障碍包括 "资金限制"、"缺乏管理支持"、"缺乏研发团队"、"员工缺乏足够的技能"、"缺乏数字化战略,同时资源匮乏 "和 "员工抵制变革"。企业可以通过分配足够的资源和获得管理层的支持来克服资金限制。通过建立一个重点突出的研发团队,并对员工进行必要的培训,可以克服知识和技能的匮乏。通过制定全面的数字化战略并确保必要的资源到位,可以克服资源稀缺的问题。此外,有效的变革管理方法可以克服员工对变革的抵触情绪,从而支持 I4.0 技术的采用。原创性/价值通过特别关注孟加拉国食品和饮料行业在尝试采用 I4.0 技术时遇到的困难,本研究为现有文献做出了贡献。本研究的独创性在于其对各种障碍的透彻分析,以及使用 ISM-MICMAC 方法来理解这些障碍如何相互影响。
