DIRECTIVE METHODOLOGY OF THE 4 PHASES FOR THE IMPROVEMENT AND MIGRATION TOWARDS INDUSTRY 4.0

Abstract

This article shows the development of a new methodology whose purpose is to support and guide senior managers of manufacturing industries for the improvement and migration of their organizations to industry 4.0 (I4.0). This methodology is the result of a pure research developed in the last 3 years (2019-2022). Which is based on the study of science and engineering tools that have served in solving problems for manufacturing organizations in the last 100 years and are still valid and are key to the complete technological adoption and migration towards industry 4.0. As a result of the development of the current research, the following 3 new concepts to the scientific and industrial community are presented: 1.- The house of improvement and migration towards I4.0. 2.- Methodology of the 4 phases for the improvement and migration towards I4.0 and 3.- The cycle for the improvement and migration to I4.0. It is hoped that through the uses and applications of these concepts, manufacturing organizations will be able to migrate in a gradual, measurable and controllable way to Industry 4.0. Key Words: Industry 4.0, business management, methodology, migration, strategic objectives.
