Industry 4.0 – Understanding and meaning for the
Supply Chain Management
Hypothesis regarding the SCM in the
Industry 4.0:
In spite of the desired autonomy of systems a
planning will still be required
The actual management structures have to be
adapted according to the decentralized approach of
industry 4.0.
For the decentralized management planning
information has to be standardized and exchanged
between partners in the supply chain based on clearly
defined roles and rights
The (human) planner has to be supported by smart IT- solutions for a scenario based planning to draw the
right conclusions intuitively
