KOBİ’lerde Endüstri 4.0 Dönüşüm Sürecinin Swot Analizi Metoduyla Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Bu Çalışma, KOBİ'lerin Endüstri 4.0 dönüşüm yolculuğunda farkındalıklarını, faaliyetlerini ve mevcut durumlarını SWOT analizi kullanarak, fırsatlarını, tehditlerini, güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini tespit etmektedir. KOBİ'lerin Endüstri 4.0 dönüşüm sürecinin analiz edilmesinde yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat yöntemi kullanılarak 5 KOBİ üzerinde inceleme yapılmıştır. Türkiye’de, Ege Bölgesi'nde faaliyet gösteren KOBİ'lerin, dijital dönüşüm sürecinin farkında olmalarına rağmen henüz sürecin çok başında oldukları ve bu süreçte avantajlarından çok dezavantaja sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. KOBİ'ler, dijital çağda sürdürülebilir olmak için zaman zaman durumlarını analiz etmeli ve endüstrinin gelişimini daima takip etmelidir. Kontrolleri dahilinde olan yeni araç, gereç ve uygulamaları bünyelerine dahil etmelidirler. Son olarak, bu çalışma, KOBİ'lerin endüstri 4.0 hakkında farkındalık kazanmalarına ve durumlarını yönetmelerine öncülük etmektedir.
