Transformação organizacional habilitada pelos smart industrial products: avaliando o caminho evolucional, a hierarquia estrutural do planejamento e controle da produção, a sinergia interfuncional e as barreiras para adoção

Abstract

Within the realm of contemporary industry, the Industry 4.0 concept has ushered in a paradigm shift. In this regard, Smart Industrial Products (SIPs), encapsulating a spectrum of cutting-edge technologies, integrated within smart industrial ecosystems develop a central role. This doctoral dissertation aims to explore the evolutional path of main organisational functions, structural hierarchy between capabilities enabled to Production Planning and Control (PPC) function, inter-functional synergy that organisational functions should undergo to achieve full autonomy through the adoption of SIPs and, finally, the relationship between barriers to SIPs adoption. Initially, we identify the capabilities and barriers that SIPs provide for main organisational functions through an extensive Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Subsequently, we investigate the structural hierarchy relationship between the capabilities enabled by SIP adoption and the PPC Function. In sequence, we examine the inter-functional synergy resulting from SIPs adoption across organisational functions. Finally, we investigate the relationship between barriers, proposing a roadmap to strategically mitigate them. Our research comprises a mixed-method study, incorporating elements of SLR, Expert Interviews, Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM), and the Fuzzy MICMAC approach. The first phase of our investigation culminates in a theoretical model outlining the evolutional path for organisational functions to become smart-enhanced, as well as the barriers faced at each stage of SIPs implementation. The second phase proposes a framework for achieving a fully autonomous PPC function, while the third one presents a model illustrating synergistic relationships among main organisational functions. Lastly, in the fourth phase propose a roadmap to strategically mitigate barriers that organisations should surpass to fully adopt a SIP.
