Abstract

Digitalization and the Industry 4.0 approach have brought about not only a technological transformation in production systems but also a radical change in the way processes are managed. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of process management on production efficiency and flexibility in digitalized production systems within the context of advanced manufacturing techniques. The study is designed as a qualitative research based on a literature review; the concepts of process management, digitaliza tion, efficiency, and production flexibility are addressed within a holistic framework. The findings show that digital technologies (IIoT, data analytics, process mining, digital twin) provide a high amount of data and automation in production processes; however, this potential needs to be integrated with process management principles to translate into efficiency and flexibility.
