However, there is a lack of a clear and well-defined process to implement digital transformation in manufacturing. This paper aims to identify the most critical stages to implementing digital transformation in the manufacturing sector. Twenty-one structured interviews with experienced specialists in digitalisation in the manufacturing sector in the Egyptian economy were held and used the Best–Worst Method to analyse the data as an analysis tool for a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) approach. The digital transformation process comprises eight stages covering technology, management, communications, and customer elements. The main contribution of this work stage is the balance between the different elements of digital transformation—digital technologies, leadership and strategy, people and business processes—to create an integrated 8-step process of digital transformation in the manufacturing sector of developing economies such as the Egyptian economy.Item Open Access Digital maturity and readiness model for Kazakhstan SMEs(IEEE, 2021-06-29) Yezhebay, Assel; Sengirova, Venera; Igali, Dastan; Abdallah, Yasser Omar; Shehab, EssamThe implementation of digital transformation features is highly required to provide sustainable growth and a high level of competitiveness. One of the essential components of the ensuring of SMEs readiness for digital transformation is a digital maturity model that can assess the maturity level based on the features of SMEs in Kazakhstan. This study is focused on the development of digital maturity and readiness model for Kazakhstan SMEs by revision of currently existing digital maturity models, defining the significant features of SMEs in Kazakhstan and developing dimensions, sub-dimensions and levels of the model. The proposed model consists of 6 dimensions and 15 sub-dimensions that are sufficient to assess major dimensions involved in digital transformation. The six layers are used to define the level of digital readiness. The developed model was validated through a survey conducted among 12 managers of the company with approximately 150 employees. The model allowed identifying significant areas for improvement and provided the recommendations for movement to the next maturity level.Item Open Access Digital maturity and readiness model for multiple-case of Kazakhstan large companies(IEEE, 2021-06-29) Almasbekkyzy, Aidana; Abdikerim, Daulet; Nabi, Daulet; Abdallah, Yasser Omar; Shehab, EssamWith the evolving of Industry 4.0 in the 21st century, digitalization gains popularity in companies, because it is a need that makes the company competitive and optimizes the work. Many factors influence the company and its transformation, especially in large companies, for example, financial situation, organizational culture, employees and their skills and talents, technology, and strategy. Based on these factors, models are developed to assess the digital readiness and maturity of the company. As a result of a comprehensive review of different models and current situations in large Kazakhstani companies, the model was developed and described together with the results of the model which was applied in different companies.Item Open Access Digital transformation challenges in the manufacturing industry(IOS Press, 2021-09-07) Abdallah, Yasser Omar; Shehab, Essam; Al-Ashaab, AhmedDigital Transformation becomes an essential strategy for organisations in this new digital arena, specifically after the COVID-19 pandemic and its unprecedented effects on the whole world and the manufacturing sector. In this new digital era, consumers became more expert and more engaging in the products using new technologies. At the same time, companies began to adopt digital transformation strategies in their manufacturing processes to become more agile and give the most value to their customers in fierce competition. This paper aims to identify and model the main challenges that face the digital transformation process in the manufacturing industry.. The main challenges were categorized to four main areas: skills, adoption of new technologies, change management practices, and innovation initiatives. By identifying these challenges, in a new and incremental way, manufacturing organisations will be able to adopt digital transformation processes efficiently and effectively in a proper manner.Item Open Access Industry 4.0: critical investigations and synthesis of key findings(Springer, 2023-01-01) Elnadi, Moustafa; Abdallah, Yasser OmarThe concept of Industry 4.0 has been one of the most debated and trending topics over the last few years. Progressively, it has attracted the attention of academicians, practitioners, and policymakers worldwide. However, there needs to be more systematic review of research in the current literature that captures the current state of this new paradigm. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a comprehensive review of Industry 4.0 previous studies to identify its technological, organisational, and managerial enablers, as well as its implementation challenges and benefits. A systematic literature review was conducted, in which 244 peer-reviewed journal papers were analysed in the Scopus database until the end of May 2022. This study excluded conference papers, book chapters, and journal papers not written in English. The study indicated that industry 4.0 is still an immature topic, and applying this new paradigm is not a matter of technology only. Organisational and managerial aspects should be considered. Additionally, the transition towards Industry 4.0 is a complex task, many obstacles exist, and manufacturing companies should be aware of these challenges for successfully implementing this new paradigm. The obtained results in this study synthesise recent studies published on Industry 4.0 and provide a comprehensive picture of Industry 4.0 and potential research directions for future research. Also, this study offers significant guidelines for managers interested in implementing Industry 4.0.Item Open Access Sustainable digital transformation: the role of organisational digital culture(IOS Press, 2022-11-30) Abdallah, Yasser Omar; Shehab, Essam; Al-Ashaab, AhmedSustaining Digital Transformation processes is a significant challenge for all organisations, especially in the manufacturing sector. Undoubtedly, Digital Transformation (DT) is becoming increasingly crucial for successfully implementing manufacturing operations. This paper discusses Digital Culture’s role in sustainable digital transformation projects by discussing the digital culture attributes that must be inside the organisation’s top management level. These attributes are collaboration, innovation, accountability, transparency, customer-centricity, and human development. By identifying these attributes in a clear and incremental model, manufacturing organisations will be able to incorporate the digital culture factor in their digital transformation operations to ensure the sustainability of these operations.Item Open Access Towards managing digital transformation in manufacturing industry: theoretical framework(IOS Press, 2021-09-07) Abdallah, Yasser Omar; Shehab, Essam; Al-Ashaab, AhmedAlthough digital transformation has been extensively researched in recent years, there is no clear definition, especially in the manufacturing industry.
