Evaluation of the Transition Process of Industry 4.0 in Automotive Supplier Industry

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution is defined as the processes of full automation and digitization. The automotive industry, which is one of the most experienced and applied technological developments, takes its competitiveness power from these transformations. Automotive supplier industry, which is an industry branch with the supplier of parts and piece provided to the automotive sector, is one of the fastest developing areas of technology. By automating the production processes of automation and smart processes, it is possible to increase the productivity in the enterprises and to produce products in accordance with international standards. Besides the positive effects of the fourth industrial revolution on enterprises, there are also high cost effects. Businesses are hesitant to integrate the industry 4.0 processes due to these effects. In this study, the difficulties experienced in adapting to the industry 4.0 processes of the enterprises in the automotive supplier industry are analysed. In this study, it is aimed at evaluating these challenges with surveys conducted in Turkey with the province in the Konya and statistical analysis of this questionnaire. The enterprises that take into account the results obtained from the analysis are allowed to shape their strategic objectives in order to overcome these difficulties.
