Digital transformation patterns comparison
| Variables | Sustaining digital transformation pattern | Disruptive digital transformation pattern | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adopted I4.0 technologies | Adopted Industry 4.0 technologies | Not differential | Not differential |
| Drivers for I4.0 investments | Industry 4.0 target areas | Spread in all functions | Focused on machinery and production processes |
| Industry 4.0 implementation drivers | Vertical and horizontal approach (improve interdepartmental connections) | Mainly vertical approach (single department focused) | |
| Expected Industry 4.0 performance improvement | Quality, time and flexibility | Efficiency, productivity | |
| Magnitude of I4.0 investments | Industry 4.0 investments pay-back time | Short payback time | Medium-long payback time |
| Industry 4.0 width of intervention | Many small and localized | Few complex and extensive | |
| People and I4.0 | Role and task evolution | Empowering operators, increasing operators’ contribute and responsibility | Enhancing machines, decreasing operator responsibility on the process |
| Competences evolution | Not differential | Not differential |
