Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution (I4.0) has changed the traditional business model, bringing various benefits, including increased efficiency and productivity in organizations. However, to attain success in I4.0 practices requires collaboration from various stakeholders. This study objectives to identify the facilitators of I4.0 practices that can lead to successful collaboration among stakeholders from a circular perspective. An extensive literature review is performed to identify 14 potential facilitators. Further, the study adopts a mixed methodology of Best-Worst Method (BWM) and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to analyze the interconnectedness among the identified facilitators. BWM method was used to determine the relative importance of the identified facilitators, while ISM technique was used to determine the relationships between the facilitators of I4.0 practices. The findings from the study reveal that to strengthen stakeholder collaboration, organizations need to focus more on training and capacity-building programs and create more opportunities for technology exchange.
期刊介绍:
Production & Manufacturing Research: An Open Access Journal provides a high-quality platform for academics, researchers, and industrial practitioners working on production and manufacturing research topics to publish their work globally under a fully open access model. The journal ensures that every article undergoes a rigorous but rapid peer review process by a team of experts who share the cross-disciplinary scope of the publication. The intent is to foster innovation, debate and collaboration across the field whilst maintaining a defined and relevant audience for the topics and findings reported. The journal encourages the submission of original articles, reviews, short communications and case studies in all areas of manufacturing engineering and technology, operations research and management, supply chain performance management, lean manufacturing, production systems and automation, quality control, logistics, research methodologies, manufacturing strategy, sustainable engineering, project management & scheduling and cross-disciplinary research between these fields.
