    Industry 4.0 and organizational agility in the context of digital transformation

    Esmer, Yusuf; Yuksel, Muhammet

    Organizational transformations, which started with the transition from workshop production to the assembly line, have moved to another dimension with the rapid developments in technology today. Therefore, it is seen that the transformation in organizations has shifted to digital areas with the effective use of Industry 4.0 technologies, and the digitalization process is experienced even in very simple organizations. The survival of organizations in an increasingly difficult competitive environment depends on the digital transformations they can perform in these processes. In this context, the ability to anticipate changing customer expectations and competitive conditions, as well as to respond quickly to customer demands, shows the agility level of organizations. In this study, based on the relevant literature, advanced technological changes that emerged with Industry 4.0 in the context of the digital transformation process and their effects on organizational life and the reactions of organizations to these changes are evaluated within the scope of organizational agility. As a result, it can be said that the concept of organizational agility is important because it is thought that the digital transformation process, which is very fast today, will accelerate in the future and some organizations or organizational activities are thought to end.

    Parallel Assembly Lines with Heterogeneous Workforce: A Cost-Driven Mathematical Model and Simulated Annealing Approach

    Kökhan, Serhan; Baykoç, Ömer Faruk; Xu, J; Marquez, FPG; Hassan, MHA; Duca, G; Hajiyev, A; Altiparmak, F

    In recent years it has become possible for people, machines and robots to work collaboratively in most production environments. Collaborative working models, which are diversified with the concept of Industry 4.0, have become an important issue in Assembly Line Problems (ALP). In this study, a cost-driven mathematical model which combines Parallel Assembly Line Problems and human and robot collaborative workforce which is an important parameter of Industry 4.0 philosophy is proposed. The mathematical model was tested for new data sets derived from existing data sets in the parallel assembly lines literature and the results were analyzed. Because of the NP-hardness of ALP, a heuristic approach based Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm was proposed to solve for larger sized problems. For this purpose, the same data sets were solved with SA and the results were compared and analyzed. The results show that the mathematical model gives better results up to Tonge data set (140 task), but feasible solutions can only be obtained by SA algorithm for the rest. Since there are very few studies with heterogeneous workforce in Parallel Assembly Line Balancing Problems (PALBP), this study is believed to provide a significant contribution to related literature.
