| Abstract: | Industry 4.0 has emerged as a key interest for both researchers and practitioners in recent years as the value of innovation taken on unprecedented importance in the business environment. However, while Industry 4.0 refers to a collection of emerging intelligent and digital technologies, most previous studies on the subject limit their examinations to individual Industry 4.0 technologies, while few consider these emerging advanced technologies as a united construct to empirically examine their impact on supply chains (SC). Our study groups 16 types of Industry 4.0 technologies as a unified construct and examines their aggregate performance impact. Following the resource-based view (RBV), this study empirically examines the impact of Industry 4.0 and IT advancement on SC resilience. The mediating roles of SC capabilities with respect to SC collaboration and SC visibility are examined as well. Using a survey of 408 Chinese manufacturing firms, the results show that Industry 4.0 implementation directly impacted IT advancement and SC visibility, while having an indirect impact on SC resilience. SEM multiple group analysis results also show the positive effects of Industry 4.0 implementation on IT advancement, SC visibility, and SC collaboration in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). EFA analysis identified three groups of Industry 4.0 technologies (computing, digitalizing and technology integration) that lead to the development of a new framework for practical implications in manufacturing and for further academic research. |
