Towards a Novel Design Framework for Disruption Handling in Industry 4.0
Résumé
This paper presents a novel framework to assist organizations with coping with a disruptive technology such as industry 4.0. This
coping requires assessing and adjusting existing practices at both strategy and operation levels. The proposed framework features
4 components referred to as, goals and beliefs, associated with the strategy level, and, tasks and resources, associated with the
operation level. The components are related to each other tracking who is doing what, using what, and working with whom. Each
component is represented as a cycle along with the disruptions that could hinder the cycle’s progress. The framework’s technical
doability is also discussed using a set of Petri Nets associated with its components. Although these Petri Nets are separate, they
are interleaved when disruptions cross the strategy level to the operation level and vice-versa.
