A Review of Industry 4.0 Maturity Models: Theoretical Comparison in The Smart Manufacturing Sector

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct a theoretical review of the existing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) Maturity Models (MM) in the manufacturing sector, with a focus on both large and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to gain an in-depth understanding of the present state-of-the-art A comprehensive analysis was conducted on a total of sixteen maturity models within the manufacturing sector, encompassing a range of scopes and stages. Notably, only six of these studies specifically focused on SMEs. In order to achieve this objective, the present study has identified the common scopes of MM (manufacturing sector) that have been examined in the context of both large/multinational enterprises and SMEs. These scopes include organizational strategy, smart factory, smart operation, smart product, vertical integration (VI), horizontal integration (HI), employees, leadership, customers, culture, governance, technology, data-driven governance, IT infrastructure, and information systems. In the context of MM stages, research emphasized on an initial/basic stage level that enables SMEs to facilitate the adoption of I4.0 in the manufacturing sector.
