Abstract:
The rapid acceleration of innovation and the marvels of science and technology have introduced mankind to a new era known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. As a developing country, Bangladesh should not lag behind in the concept of the domain known as Industry 4.0. A substantial number of industries across Bangladesh are coming forward to take on the challenges associated with this novel concept. It is, however, reported that many of them are now at the embryonic stage and only taking pilot initiatives. Before entering the domain of Industry 4.0, an industry must check its readiness and maturity to access the field, and that\'s where it comes to the importance of the readiness model. The main objective of this research is to propose a new readiness model based on the perspective of Bangladesh and developing countries like Bangladesh. Analytical Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Inference System has been used for developing the model. There are four readiness levels in the proposed model that dictate the readiness of any particular industry. Through systematic literature review and expert opinion, 6 dimensions and their associated field have been identified for the determination of readiness level. In the later part of the research, a case study on one of the companies in the garments industry has been accomplished, and a radar chart is presented in order to illustrate the readiness of that garments industry. The results from the case study indicate that the ABC garments industry is in the Survival stage and several recommendations are then provided to cope better in that situation.
摘要:
创新的快速加速和科学技术的奇迹将人类带入了一个被称为第四次工业革命或工业4.0的新时代。作为一个发展中国家,孟加拉国在工业4.0领域的概念上不应该落后。孟加拉国的许多行业都在努力应对与这一新颖概念相关的挑战。是的,然而,报告说,其中许多现在处于萌芽阶段,只是采取试点举措。在进入工业4.0领域之前,行业必须检查其访问该领域的准备情况和成熟度,这就是准备模式的重要性所在。本研究的主要目的是根据孟加拉国和孟加拉国等发展中国家的观点提出一种新的准备模式。层次分析法和模糊推理系统已用于开发模型。所提出的模型中有四个就绪级别,它们决定了任何特定行业的就绪性。通过系统的文献综述和专家意见,已确定6个维度及其相关字段,用于确定准备水平。在研究的后期,对服装行业的一家公司进行了案例研究,并给出了雷达图,以说明该服装行业的准备情况。案例研究的结果表明,ABC服装行业处于生存阶段,然后提供了一些建议,以更好地应对这种情况。
