TL;DR: The newly emerging group of techniques used in business process management as well suited tools for the management of the processes at the operational level is called process mining and it is believed it might enhance Industry 4.0 in many of its aspects.
Abstract: The paper is focused on the importance of business processes and its management in the concept of fourth industrial revolution and the introduction of group of emerging techniques supporting this field. In fact, the whole concept of the Industry 4.0 is laying on business processes. The management of the processes will have a significant impact on the value added, effectiveness and efficiency of organizations involved in the Industry 4.0. The process-centric approach is necessary not only for management of the manufacturing processes, but also for the management of non-manufacturing processes. The newly emerging group of techniques used in business process management as well suited tools for the management of the processes at the operational level is called process mining and we believe it might enhance Industry 4.0 in many of its aspects. The paper is structured as follows. In the first sections, we introduce the concept of Industry 4.0 and demonstrate the importance of processes for the concept. In next section, we introduce the group of techniques called process mining and in the closing section we demonstrate the usability of process mining. Finally, we present and discuss our results supporting the advantages of process mining and their suitability for Industry 4.0 idea.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a research on Industry 4.0 manufacturing using a Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) approach to model production processes, use the models to generate instructions to smart devices and human workers, and gather a feedback from them during the process execution.
Abstract: Industry 4.0 enforces digital revolution in the manufacturing industry by introducing smart devices and knowledge bases to form intelligent manufacturing information systems. One of the goals of the digital revolution is to support an automatic production from product specification to allow faster reaction on the product changes and a lot size one production. In order to make this possible, a formal language to describe production processes is needed, together with a code generator for its models and an engine to execute the code on smart devices. In this paper we propose a research on Industry 4.0 manufacturing using a Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) approach to model production processes, use the models to generate instructions to smart devices and human workers, and gather a feedback from them during the process execution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify dominant fields which consist of implementing the law, governance, management trajectory, and system of higher education in Indonesia, and reveal preliminary actions toward the higher education system by networking infrastructures.
Abstract: The plethora of research in the multidisciplinary fields has been proved the disruption era. However, it might be several boundaries in the global context. Thus, this research attempts to identify dominant fields which consist of implementing the law, governance, management trajectory, and system of higher education in Indonesia. Furthermore, the qualitative method of the systematic literature review is used to examine the implication, and therefore this study produces four findings. Firstly, the most prominent enabling contexts are to ensure the implementation of the law and the conceptualisation of policies. Secondly, adopting effective and efficient bureaucracy bases on electronic governance (e-governance). Thirdly, management trajectory has been aimed to fill the gaps in this context. Finally, this study also intends to unveil preliminary actions toward the higher education system by networking infrastructures. The outcomes might be considered as pathways for accelerating the progress related to authorities, companies, and institutions. By way of conclusion, in order to attain better provision, measuring the process of the Indonesia disruption realm is a critical phase to elucidate the current circumstance, elaborate the gaps, and foresee the priority actions concerning the disruption era in Indonesia.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identified 21 supply chain management challenges and 15 solution initiatives of Industry 4.0 (I4) for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector.
Abstract: • 21 Supply Chain Management challenges were identified. • 15 Solution Initiatives of Industry 4.0 were proposed. • An integrated FAHP-PROMETHEE approach was used. • Effective strategies to overcome SSCM adoption failures are suggested. The dynamic market environment has asserted that small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially in the manufacturing sector, need to reassess their supply chain pursuits and effectively inculcate sustainable initiatives through digitalisation. Twenty-one barriers are identified, and fifteen solution initiatives (SI) have been suggested based on an in-depth literature review and expert opinions from electronic manufacturing SMEs. Further, experts were requested to prioritise the barriers and SIs using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Preference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) technique. “High Implementation cost”, “market competition”, and “resistance to adopt” are the barriers that hamper the adoption of emerging technologies related to Industry 4.0 (I4). “Using 6R”, “Conducting training and education for personnel”, and “Working on brand image” are the top-ranked initiatives that can actuate a firm to adopt sustainable practices. The present study will help academicians, practitioners, and policymakers to formulate effective decision strategies to overcome I4 adoption barriers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impediments in the adoption of Industry 4.0 in the construction industry of India and identified 25 key challenges based on the literature review and discussions with the experts.
Abstract: Industry 4.0 holds tremendous potential to transform the operational productivity of industries. Construction sector of India has fallen behind to embrace Industry 4.0 framework. Delay in project completion and lack of coordination within departments due to unavailability of real-time information hampers the effectiveness of the operations on a daily basis. The investigation of impediments in the adoption of Industry 4.0 in the construction industry of India is an urgent requirement to restore the efficiency of the sector. Based on the extant literature review and discussions with the experts, 25 key challenges were identified. Using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tool, fuzzy TOPSIS, which operates with uncertain and vague inputs, the ranking of the challenges was established. Huge costs incurred in the implementation and maintenance emerged as the biggest obstacle followed closely by problems in hiring skilled people with the required expertise. Heavy lay-offs, disruptions in compensation and legal barriers are some other serious issues that hinder adoption of Industry 4.0. Through this paper, key obstacles in the adoption of digital technology are expected to surface up that can inform management and assist in the timely decision making.

TL;DR: Porter's concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into "activities", or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage as discussed by the authors, has become an essential part of international business thinking, taking strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities.
Abstract: COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE introduces a whole new way of understanding what a firm does. Porter's groundbreaking concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into 'activities', or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage. Now an essential part of international business thinking, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE takes strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities. Its powerful framework provides the tools to understand the drivers of cost and a company's relative cost position. Porter's value chain enables managers to isolate the underlying sources of buyer value that will command a premium price, and the reasons why one product or service substitutes for another. He shows how competitive advantage lies not only in activities themselves but in the way activities relate to each other, to supplier activities, and to customer activities. That the phrases 'competitive advantage' and 'sustainable competitive advantage' have become commonplace is testimony to the power of Porter's ideas. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE has guided countless companies, business school students, and scholars in understanding the roots of competition. Porter's work captures the extraordinary complexity of competition in a way that makes strategy both concrete and actionable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a framework to position sustainable entrepreneurship in relation to sustainability innovation, which is based on a typology of sustainable entrepreneurship, including social and institutional entrepreneurship.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework to position sustainable entrepreneurship in relation to sustainability innovation. The framework builds on a typology of sustainable entrepreneurship, develops it by including social and institutional entrepreneurship, i.e. the application of the entrepreneurial approach towards meeting societal goals and towards changing market contexts, and relates it to sustainability innovation. The framework provides a reference for managers to introduce sustainability innovation and to pursue sustainable entrepreneurship. Methodologically, the paper develops an approach of qualitative measurement of sustainable entrepreneurship and how to assess the position of a company in a classification matrix. The degree of environmental or social responsibility orientation in the company is assessed on the basis of environmental and social goals and policies, the organization of environmental and social management in the company and the communication of environmental and social issues. The market impact of the company is measured on the basis of market share, sales growth and reactions of competitors. The paper finds conditions under which sustainable entrepreneurship and sustainability innovation emerge spontaneously. The research has implications for theory and practitioners in that it clarifies which firms are most likely under specific conditions to make moves towards sustainability innovation. The paper makes a contribution in showing that extant research needs to be expanded with regard to motivations for innovation and that earlier models of sustainable entrepreneurship need to be refined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis, defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms.
Abstract: Summary Since 1989, efforts to understand the nature of interfirm resource sharing in the form of industrial symbiosis and to replicate in a deliberate way what was largely self-organizing in Kalundborg, Denmark have followed many paths, some with much success and some with very little. This article provides a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis—defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms. It finds that “uncovering” existing symbioses has led to more sustainable industrial development than attempts to design and build eco-industrial parks incorporating physical exchanges. By examining 15 proposed projects brought to national and international attention by the U.S. President’s Council on Sustainable Development beginning in the early 1990s, and contrasting these with another 12 projects observed to share more elements of self-organization, recommendations are offered to stimulate the identification and uncovering of already existing “kernels” of symbiosis. In addition, policies and practices are suggested to identify early-stage precursors of potentially larger symbioses that can be nurtured and developed further. The article concludes that environmentally and economically desirable symbiotic exchanges are all around us and now we must shift our gaze to find and foster them.
