Abstract

The Smart Manufacturing Ecosystem (SME) plays an important role in achieving the company's goal towards industry 4.0 (I4.0). Industry 4.0 revolves around “a network of manufacturing resources (manufacturing machines, robots, conveyors and warehousing systems and production facilities) that are autonomous, able to control themselves in response to different situations, self-configuring, knowledge-based, sensor-equipped and spatially distributed and which also incorporates related planning and management systems". Therefore, this research is to examine the readiness assessment of Malaysia's smart manufacturing ecosystem for industry 4.0 and aims to determine the relationship between the independent variables. This study was conducted using quantitative methods. This research will focus on employees working in manufacturing firms in Malaysia who are in positions at the executive level and above because they are more responsible in making decisions. In conducting the study of this research project, a quantitative method was chosen for data collection, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 was used for data analysis. The constructed questionnaire was distributed to 120 of the target subjects via a URL or Google Form link via email and other network-based applications. Therefore, the results cross tabulation shows that the three variables in this. In conclusion, through this research, it is hoped to provide guidelines to Malaysian manufacturing firms for them to know the criteria required for companies to apply and use the smart manufacturing ecosystem (SME) for industry 4.0 (I4.0) in their work that can produce effective ways and efficient business.
