Abstract

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is an emerging revolution encompassing various novel technologies with the potential for business and organisation excellence. This study thus determined the I4.0 maturity level of the manufacturing industries in Tanzania. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed: such methods included observation, questionnaires, interviews, and document review to garner respondents' viewpoints to establish the maturity level. This study considered the purposive or expert judgement approach as a sampling approach. The collected data from 15 Tanzanian manufacturing factories were critically analysed using Minitab version 20.3 and MAXQADA 2020 software. The study revealed that Tanzania's I4.0 adoption level is medium - a level of 3.0 out of 5.0. Most Tanzanian manufacturing industries also employ Quality 3.0 to manage the quality of their operations and products, comprising total quality management, ISO standards, and quality management systems.
