Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the approaches to education and training adopted by manufacturing organisations to identify and develop a set of learning principles for the successful transition to Industry 4.0. Design/methodology/approach A case study of a manufacturing ecosystem in Queensland, Australia was undertaken, that included semi-structured interviews with a total sample of 22 manufacturing industry representatives, an analysis of secondary data including organisational documents and government reports, and embedded cases of two manufacturing organisations. Findings Manufacturers successfully transitioning to Industry 4.0 are distinguished by a culture which values learning, management development to understand and lead innovation, experimental learning on the job and strong links to education and training providers through internships and upskilling pathways. These four principles inform approaches to creating tailored training solutions that respond to the unique needs of diverse manufacturing organisations. Research limitations/implications The two case studies describe exemplary high performing companies only and not companies at earlier stages of adopting Industry 4.0. Therefore, future research could include a broader spectrum of companies across the adoption spectrum. Nevertheless, considered as a study of a total manufacturing ecosystem, there is strong alignment of views of government, industry, union and education stakeholders regarding the key factors of transition to Industry 4.0. Practical implications There is a strong need for leaders of manufacturing organisations to enable a broad strategy of capability development beyond simple acquisition of new technologies. Detailed consideration and resourcing of on-the-job training and experimentation, talent attraction through innovation workplace cultures and strong relationships with education providers are important. Social implications Given that Industry 4.0 technologies such as robotics and AI are now rapidly diffusing into other industry sectors, the research has broader implications for education and training for the future of work. These technologies could produce stark differences between efficiency versus innovation-oriented adoption strategies. Whilst the former could displace workers, the latter can open pathways for upskilling, product and process innovation and cross sector employment. Originality/value Through the ecosystem level case approach, multiple stakeholder perspectives provide triangulated insights into advanced manufacturer's education, skills and training strategies, uncovering four learning principles that underpin the approach of manufacturers successfully transitioning to Industry 4.0. The findings have practical implications for policy makers and industry bodies supporting the transition to advanced manufacturing and provide manufacturing managers with insights into successful education and skill strategies that can be adapted to spe

本文的目的是探讨制造业组织采用的教育和培训方法，以确定和制定一套成功过渡到工业4.0的学习原则。设计/方法/方法对澳大利亚昆士兰州的一个制造业生态系统进行了案例研究，其中包括对22个制造业代表的半结构化访谈，对包括组织文件和政府报告在内的二手数据的分析，以及两个制造业组织的嵌入式案例。成功过渡到工业4.0的制造商的特点是重视学习的文化，管理发展以理解和引领创新，在工作中进行实验学习，并通过实习和技能提升途径与教育和培训提供商建立紧密联系。这四个原则为创建定制的培训解决方案提供了信息，以响应不同制造组织的独特需求。这两个案例研究只描述了典型的高绩效公司，而不是处于采用工业4.0早期阶段的公司。因此，未来的研究可能包括更广泛的公司采用范围。然而，作为对整个制造业生态系统的研究，政府、行业、工会和教育利益相关者对向工业4.0过渡的关键因素的看法非常一致。实际意义对于制造企业的领导者来说，除了简单地获取新技术之外，他们迫切需要制定一个广泛的能力发展战略。在职培训和实验的详细考虑和资源，通过创新的工作场所文化吸引人才，以及与教育提供者的牢固关系，都是很重要的。鉴于机器人和人工智能等工业4.0技术正在迅速扩散到其他行业，该研究对未来工作的教育和培训具有更广泛的影响。这些技术可能会在效率和以创新为导向的采用策略之间产生明显的差异。前者可能会取代工人，而后者可以为提高技能、产品和工艺创新以及跨部门就业开辟道路。通过生态系统层面的案例方法，多个利益相关者视角提供了对先进制造商教育、技能和培训策略的三角洞察，揭示了制造商成功过渡到工业4.0的四个学习原则。研究结果对支持向先进制造业转型的政策制定者和行业机构具有实际意义，并为制造业管理者提供了成功的教育和技能策略的见解，这些策略可以适应特定的组织需求。
