Abstract

This paper presents a structured framework for implementing Industry 4.0 projects. The framework is developed through an extensive review of the existing literature, wherein potential challenges and success factors related to adopting disruptive technologies in such projects are systematically analyzed and categorized. Additionally, the authors introduce a semi-structured questionnaire tailored for interviews with key decision-makers in companies strategically pursuing digital transformation. This questionnaire is designed to elicit valuable insights based on the experiences and perspectives of these decision-makers. The resulting framework is synthesized from the interviews and literature review. It delineates the essential steps necessary for the effective implementation of Industry 4.0 projects, focusing on establishing strategic priorities as the foundational stage of the entire process.
