Análise de Viabilidade Econômico-financeira e de Maturidade para Implementação de Conceitos Indústria 4.0

Abstract

The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies and concepts has proven to be an effective strategy for increasing the competitiveness of industrial corporations. However, many industries still face difficulties in assessing, in a simple yet structured manner, both the economic and financial viability and their level of maturity for adopting these technologies. This research aimed to develop a simplified model capable of analyzing, in an integrated manner, the financial viability and the level of organizational maturity for Industry 4.0 technologies implementation of industries in the electronics sector. The proposed model combines Return on Investment (ROI), a traditional tool for analyzing economic and financial viability, with TOE (Technology, Organization and Environment), a method for assessing maturity for adopting new technologies. The study carried out a case study of an electronics industry in the Industrial District of Manaus. This industry has already begun its technological transition to Industry 4.0 but has not previously applied any feasibility analysis method. The results of this case study indicate that the investment has a highly positive return, and that the organization is at an appropriate level to continue implementing Industry 4.0 technologies.
