This paper addresses the problem of integrating sustainability and business issues in manufacturing through the implementation of Industry 4.0 and process management. The objective of this work is to propose a novel methodology to guide companies in benefitting the so-called Twin Transition (digital and sustainable) drivers at the operation level for reaching business and strategic objectives. The proposed methodology results in a unique tool to address both strategic and business objectives and sustainability through practical managerial actions and technological implementations. The road-mapping methodology is divided into five phases that, starting from the definition of corporate objective and strategy, provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional, cross-functional plan of Industry 4.0 technology implementation and related changes in terms of processes and Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) architectures. The methodology is presented through an appli-cation case performed on an Aerospace company site devoted to the assembly, integration, and test of satellites.

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of integrating sustainability and business issues in manufacturing through the implementation of Industry 4.0 and process management. The objective of this work is to propose a novel methodology to guide companies in benefitting the so-called Twin Transition (digital and sustainable) drivers at the operation level for reaching business and strategic objectives. The proposed methodology results in a unique tool to address both strategic and business objectives and sustainability through practical managerial actions and technological implementations. The road-mapping methodology is divided into five phases that, starting from the definition of corporate objective and strategy, provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional, cross-functional plan of Industry 4.0 technology implementation and related changes in terms of processes and Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) architectures. The methodology is presented through an appli-cation case performed on an Aerospace company site devoted to the assembly, integration, and test of satellites.
