IMPLEMENTATION MODEL AND PHASED DEPLOYMENT OF INDUSTRY 4.0 TECHNOLOGIES IN INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES
Strategic and economic issues lead industrial companies to adopt several information systems and industrial management tools, in order to improve their performance and strive for operational excellence. Most of the information systems used, such as: ERP (Enterprise resource planning), MES (Manufacturing execution system), CMMS (Computerized maintenance management systems) and AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Collection) do not communicate between them can constitute a source of brake for the company. We present in this article an implementation model of the Industry 4.0 approach, and its mode of deployment. The study focuses on a multi-dimension approach to increase the rate of implementation efficiency. This implementation model is based on establishing a strategic vision of value, identifying the value chain, determining the challenges of implementing an MRP2 (Management Resources Planning 2) and Lean Manufacturing approach, choosing the scope and technologies, risk analysis, choice of pilot site, analysis of results and deployment. Frameworks have been developed to guide change management.
