Quantification of the Process Improvement Exigency Related to Industry 4.0

Purpose: The main objective of this paper is to develop the I4 necessity index for quantification process improvement exigency related I4. Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on literature review and previous research, we decided a new I4N index. This not intended identify current state Industry 4.0 or company's readiness concept, but assess need implement By implementing mean mostly deployment intelligent technologies, informatization automation business processes. Our philosophy simple design minimum number factors that may give rise an internal external secondary output level potential selected production logistic Findings: We emphasize, it as demand more specifically, exigency, rather than 4.0. developed (I4N index). assigned weights individual in order quantify used list manufacturing processes from research. did apply although most indexes also take these technologies into account. Practical Implications: basic approach our research was create mathematical model could easily improving
