A grey-DEMATEL based framework for mapping the determinants of industry 5.0 adoption
摘要
In recent years, the technological interventions related to Industry 4.0 have been adopted across industries as a solution to various operational challenges, but this has posed the risk of replacing humans in the equation. Thus, in the contemporary business environment, industries have started moving towards embedding sustainability and human centric practices through the adoption of Industry 5.0. However, the sector specific rate of adoption for the Industry 5.0 practices is slow in developing economies. Therefore, the study attempts to identify and map key determinants of the adoption of Industry 5.0 practices in the Indian food processing industry. The determinants were identified through a literature review and analysed using the Grey-DEMATEL approach along with sensitivity analysis to determine the type and strength of relations between the determinants The study identified firm size, skilled workforce and managerial proficiency as the cause factors and sustainability orientation, collaborative aptitude, operational and technological capability, proficiency in digitalization and innovative environment as the effect factors among the nine determinants under study. Resource readiness emerged as the sensitive determinant, wherein small changes significantly altered causal. The study presents a preliminary assessment of how managers, practitioners, and policymakers can support Industry 5.0 adoption within the food processing industry. It provides a cause-and-effect framework for accelerating the adoption of Industry 5.0.
