Methodological Approach to Building an Industry-Specific Production-Economic System Based on Industry 4.0 Technologies

Abstract

The current stage of economic development, characterised by the emergence of a new resource-based paradigm and widespread digital transformation, is marked by a shift towards the Industry 4.0 paradigm. The dynamic development of Industry 4.0 technologies highlights the need to ensure flexibility and rapid adaptation of industrial enterprises to turbulent changes in the external environment. The objective of this study is to develop a methodological approach to constructing an enterprise’s industry-specific production and economic system based on Industry 4.0 technologies, integrating advanced technological solutions and modern management paradigms. The methodological basis of this study is a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of several scientific approaches: systems-cybernetic and mathematical, evolutionary-synergetic and nonlinear approaches within the industry, organisational-managerial and potential-oriented approaches within the industry, as well as key tenets of the theory of complex adaptive systems. Combining the principles of adaptive management with the tools of these paradigms has enabled the formation of a holistic theoretical foundation for the study. The results oof the study are presented as a set of interconnected propositions based on the principles of cyber-physical integration, digital twins, and autonomous control loops. The author proposes a classification of adaptation types for industrial production and economic systems in the context of Industry 4.0, which allows for a unified description of adaptive scenarios and serves as a basis for designing a digital ecosystem.
