What Is a Digital Maturity Assessment? How Is Industry 4.0 Readiness Measured?
Digital transformation is an organisational change created by using every kind of software and hardware technology to integrate processes step by step. Because it requires thinking about the past, present and future at once, it is not a project but a continuity.
What does a digital maturity assessment measure?
The assessment is used to evaluate an organisation's current position in its digital transformation, identify strengths and weaknesses and define areas for improvement. Its purpose is to enable more informed, strategic decisions while adopting and implementing Industry 4.0 technologies.
Evaluation covers eight areas: strategy, leadership and change management; product development; planning and production; marketing, sales and customer experience; outbound logistics; digitalisation in products; organisational culture; information technology. Results are reported.
Indices used
Several index systems are used to evaluate manufacturing transformation. The Industry 4.0 index measures whether a plant is ready for the transformation, how ready it is, and where it stands in the process. The smart manufacturing index determines how and to what extent smart production systems have been adopted, how effectively they are used and where the improvement potential lies. The digital transformation index identifies weak points and evaluates improvement opportunities.
