The economically successful implementation of Industry 4.0 methods in industrial companies requires a structured introduction process. The main objective of such a structured implementation process is the case-specific analysis and evaluation of available Industry 4.0 methods to select the most suitable ones for an individual company. The presented methodology aims to establish a financial, strategic, and benefit-oriented evaluation approach for Industry 4.0 methods to assess their potential. The core of our methodology is a general Industry 4.0 toolbox providing a structured classification of different methods. In the first phase, a limited set of Industry 4.0 methods is derived from the toolbox by classification into production typologies. In the second phase, all Industry 4.0 methods of the derived set are strategically assessed as well as evaluated from a monetary perspective. The evaluation of the methods is based on company-specific characteristics, its strategic focus, and its (market) environment. Based on this evaluation, we develop specific, value-adding implementation scenarios. In the third phase, the identified implementation scenarios with their specific order of prioritized methods are simulated in a System Dynamics model. The three phases ultimately result in a recommendation for a company-specific Industry 4.0 implementation roadmap.

要在工业公司中成功实现工业4.0方法的经济发展，需要结构化的引入过程。这种结构化实施过程的主要目标是对案例进行分析和评估，以获取可用的Industry 4.0方法，从而为单个公司选择最合适的方法。提出的方法旨在为工业4.0方法建立一种财务，战略和利益导向的评估方法，以评估其潜力。我们方法的核心是一个通用的Industry 4.0工具箱，它提供了不同方法的结构化分类。在第一阶段，通过分类为生产类型从工具箱中导出了一组有限的Industry 4.0方法。在第二阶段，所有行业4。策略性地评估了派生集合的0种方法，并且从金钱的角度进行了评估。方法的评估基于公司的特定特征，其战略重点和（市场）环境。基于此评估，我们开发了特定的增值实施方案。在第三阶段，在System Dynamics模型中模拟已识别的实施方案及其优先方法的特定顺序。这三个阶段最终提出了针对公司特定的Industry 4.0实施路线图的建议。在System Dynamics模型中模拟已识别的实施方案及其特定的优先方法顺序。这三个阶段最终提出了针对公司特定的Industry 4.0实施路线图的建议。在System Dynamics模型中模拟已识别的实施方案及其特定的优先方法顺序。这三个阶段最终提出了针对公司特定的Industry 4.0实施路线图的建议。
