EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INDUSTRY 4.0 ON ORGANIZATIONAL AGILITY WITH FUCOM: IMPLEMENTATION IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effect levels on organizational agility abilities as a result of the implementation of Industry 4.0. Organizational agility was examined in terms of four basic criteria: responsiveness, flexibility, quickness and competence in this study. In addition, twelve sub-criteria have been defined in relation to the basic criteria. In order to determine the sub-criteria, the related studies were first examined conceptually and then expert opinions were used. These experts consist of five engineers working in textile companies for the ready-made clothing group. In the study, FUCOM was used to determine the effect levels of the criteria. In the results of study, it is thought that Industry 4.0 has the most impact on quickness, followed competence, flexibility and responsiveness among the organizational agility. When all the criteria are evaluated, the three agility capabilities that the Industry 4.0 process has the most impact on businesses are identified as “short operation time”, “operational efficiency”, “product quality”.
