Platformlar Aracılığıyla Üretimin Dijital Dönüşümünü Yeniden Düşünmek: Eleştirel Bir İnceleme ve Bütünleştirici Çerçeve

Abstract

Platformlar aracılığıyla üretimin dijital dönüşümü, endüstriyel operasyonlarda bir paradigma değişimini temsil etmektedir, ancak bu dönüşümleri anlamak ve uygulamak için kapsamlı çerçeveler hala parçalı durumdadır. Bu çalışma, Web of Science ve Scopus veritabanlarından (2011-2024) 156 yayının sistematik bibliyometrik bir analizini sunarak, dijital üretim platformu araştırmalarının kritik bir incelemesini ortaya koymaktadır. Analiz üç evrimsel aşamayı ortaya çıkarmaktadır: kavramsal temel (2011-2016), entegrasyon (2017-2020) ve ileri düzey uygulama (2021-2024). Mevcut literatür teknik mimarileri ve uygulama metodolojilerini kapsamlı bir şekilde ele almasına rağmen, sürdürülebilirlik ilkelerinin ve standardizasyon çerçevelerinin bütünsel entegrasyonunu anlamada önemli boşluklar bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırma, platform tabanlı üretim dönüşümünün teknolojik, organizasyonel ve çevresel boyutlarını sentezleyen ve beş temel unsuru (platform mimarisi, dijital ikiz entegrasyonu, birlikte çalışabilirlik standartları, iş modeli inovasyonu ve sürdürülebilirlik entegrasyonu) kapsayan bütünleştirici bir çerçeve önererek katkı sağlamaktadır. Bulgular, özellikle küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmeler için teorik kavramsallaştırmalardan pratik uygulama değerlendirmelerine doğru bir kayma olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışma, platform tabanlı üretim sistemlerinde platformlar arası birlikte çalışabilirlik ve yapay zeka entegrasyonu için standartlaştırılmış yaklaşımlara vurgu yaparak gelişen araştırma yönlerini belirlemekte ve araştırmacılara ve uygulayıcılara sürdürülebilirlik gerekliliklerini göz önünde bulundurarak rehberlik sağlamaktadır.

Rethinking Digital Transformation of Manufacturing Through Platforms: A Critical Review and Integrative Framework

Abstract

The digital transformation of manufacturing through platforms represents a paradigm shift in industrial operations, yet comprehensive frameworks for understanding and implementing these transformations remain fragmented. This study presents a systematic bibliometric analysis of 156 publications from Web of Science and Scopus databases (2011-2024), offering a critical review of digital manufacturing platform research. The analysis reveals three evolutionary phases: conceptual foundation (2011-2016), integration (2017-2020), and advanced implementation (2021-2024). While existing literature extensively addresses technical architectures and implementation methodologies, significant gaps remain in understanding the holistic integration of sustainability principles and standardization frameworks. This research contributes by proposing an integrative framework that synthesizes technological, organizational, and environmental dimensions of platform-based manufacturing transformation, encompassing five key elements: platform architecture, digital twin integration, interoperability standards, business model innovation, and sustainability integration. The findings indicate a shift from theoretical conceptualizations to practical implementation considerations, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. The study identifies emerging research directions, emphasizing standardized approaches to cross-platform interoperability and artificial intelligence integration in platform-based manufacturing systems, providing guidance for researchers and practitioners while considering sustainability imperatives.
