Abstract
Purpose
This study proposes a novel assessment model tailored to the unique requirements of Industry 5.0 transformation utilizing Socio-Technical Theory as a framework. The model seeks to give organizations actionable insights into navigating the complex socio-technical dynamics of I5.0, evaluating organizational readiness holistically, and guiding their transition to this new industrial paradigm across different perspectives and dimensions. By fostering this holistic approach to Industry 5.0 adoption, our study aims to impact industry, society, and institutions significantly.
Methodology
The model was developed using a two-phase research approach. The first phase involved a detailed systematic literature review and a systematic literature network analysis to identify the perspectives, critical dimensions, and guiding questions for the assessment based on Socio-Technical Theory. The second phase refined the preliminary model through expert feedback from industry specialists.
Findings
Our research proposed an assessment model for Industry 5.0, confirmed Socio-Technical Theory as a substantive framework, and identified four core perspectives: strategy, sustainability, human-centricity, and resilience. These perspectives encompass 25 critical dimensions, which were further analyzed through 64 guiding questions. Expert feedback validated the need for the model and highlighted its potential for application from both a strategic and a tactical perspective.
Originality
This study addresses a crucial gap in the literature by presenting a novel assessment model tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities presented by this emerging industrial paradigm. The model’s emphasis on holistic readiness and the integration of business strategies goes beyond conventional approaches by fostering a more nuanced understanding of the socio-technical dynamics shaping the future of industry and society. By applying Socio-Technical Theory (STT), this study provides a more comprehensive understanding of the socio-technical dynamics underlying I5.0 transformation. This innovative approach provides organizations with actionable insights into navigating the intricate interplay between advanced technologies, human factors, sustainability principles, and resilience strategies in complex situations, thus advancing both theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of Industry 5.0.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Industrial Information Integration focuses on the industry's transition towards industrial integration and informatization, covering not only hardware and software but also information integration.
