Abstract

Abstract: In Industry 4.0, manufacturing technology has a huge potential of becoming a key facilitator for ground-breaking innovations of products, services, and processes. To exploit this potential, industrial organisations have to transform legacy structures and processes in integrated organisations uniting experts from design, manufacturing, procurement, etc. This research accompanies one of the biggest automotive tier-1 supplier along this transformation. The key objective is to find and analyse ways of integrating different trades in design workshops aimed at the long-term strategic planning the investment in approaches to integrating design, manufacturing, and procurement departments for leveraging Industry 4.0 potentials.
