Abstract

Abstract This work presents a multiple case study analysis aimed at depicting a managerial perspective for the implementation of a transformation path towards Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in manufacturing value chain. Starting from the analysis of the literature on values and impacts of digitalization and I4.0 in operations and supply chain management, the research investigates three key dimensions to take into account when defining the digital transformation path from a managerial perspective: investments in I4.0 technologies, ability in perceiving the path towards digital transformation, and knowledge sharing. For each dimension, patterns of managerial practices and related challenges for the implementation of the I4.0 paradigm has been identified, building on the insights and experiences of different players of the manufacturing supply chain (companies, ranging from large enterprises to SMEs, service and technology providers, competence centres). The results proposed in terms of key challenges, common mistakes and best practices according to the level of digital implementation, represent an overview of reference that can support companies in understanding which are the most important issues to be addressed when facing the adoption of digital and innovative technologies.

迈向数字化:制造业的多个案例研究

本工作提出了一个多案例研究分析，旨在描述在制造业价值链中实现工业4.0 (I4.0)转型路径的管理视角。从对数字化和工业4.0在运营和供应链管理中的价值和影响的文献分析开始，研究从管理角度定义数字化转型路径时需要考虑的三个关键维度:对工业4.0技术的投资、感知数字化转型路径的能力和知识共享。对于每个维度，已经确定了管理实践模式和实施工业4.0范式的相关挑战，建立在制造业供应链不同参与者(公司，从大型企业到中小企业，服务和技术提供商，能力中心)的见解和经验的基础上。根据数字化实施水平提出的关键挑战、常见错误和最佳实践方面的结果，代表了一个参考概述，可以帮助公司了解在面临采用数字化和创新技术时需要解决的最重要问题。

期刊介绍： Production Planning & Control is an international journal that focuses on research papers concerning operations management across industries. It emphasizes research originating from industrial needs that can provide guidance to managers and future researchers. Papers accepted by "Production Planning & Control" should address emerging industrial needs, clearly outlining the nature of the industrial problem. Any suitable research methods may be employed, and each paper should justify the method used. Case studies illustrating international significance are encouraged. Authors are encouraged to relate their work to existing knowledge in the field, particularly regarding its implications for management practice and future research agendas.
