A comprehensive methodology for implementation of Industry 4.0 in India using an approach of AHP- fuzzy- ELECTRE

The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive methodology for successfully implementing Industry 4.0 in India. The study highlights the barriers to Industry 4.0 in India and uses a combined AHPfuzzy-ELECTRE approach for ranking the barriers against a set of criteria and creates a roadmap of the barriers. The study finds out that Infrastructure is the biggest barrier and stands at the first place; Investment stands at the second place; Technology comes at third; and Awareness, Lack of Standards and Data Security, and Legal Barrier are more or less of the same scale and come at fourth. The study can be used by the Indian industrial setup to further develop their own measures to counter these barriers in an efficient manner to make India Industry 4.0 ready.
