Abstract
Nowadays, companies are faced with an increasingly higher level of competition while trying to adapt to the exigencies imposed by the Industry 4.0, regarding its usually referred dimensions and pillars, among which one that although is not so often referred is also expressing an increasing visibility and importance, related to collaboration, and more specifically to collaborative decision making and co-working. Thus, in this paper an analysis is carried out regarding the evolution of publications that have been put available over the last decade about collaborative decision making approaches, varying from approaches based on mathematical models up to the application of artificial intelligence and other kind of approaches. Moreover, a discussion about the relation between collaborative decision making, concurrent engineering and Industry 4.0 dimensions is also done.
Highlights
Collaboration is a concept that evolved from the concurrent engineering (CE), and has already made history [1,2,3,4,5] but in the current I4.0 context [6,7], it is gaining a refreshed importance, for instance under the scope of collaborative decision making (CDM) [6,7], besides the co-working or cooperation paradigm [8, 9]
Organizations are faced with highly exigent decision-making requirements for instance regarding the necessities driven from the current Industry 4.0 context, in this paper the importance of collaborative decision making (CDM) is approached as a way of enabling better decision making processes in I4.0
The proposed CDM concept is defined in the context of its predecessor concurrent engineering, besides its contextualization in the scope of the main Industry 4.0 pillars or dimensions
Summary
Collaboration is a concept that evolved from the concurrent engineering (CE), and has already made history [1,2,3,4,5] but in the current I4.0 context [6,7], it is gaining a refreshed importance, for instance under the scope of collaborative decision making (CDM) [6,7], besides the co-working or cooperation paradigm [8, 9]. CDM can be performed through the application of different kind of models, and each of which may be best suited for solving a specific king of problem, and in this paper an overview on mathematical models, artificial intelligence based approaches, among others are analysed, for instance the evolution of its use during the last decade, characterized by the I4.0 era, based on a review carried out through the b-on platform, FME Transactions (2021) 49, 817-826 817 which includes publications from the Scopus and the Web of Science databases.
