Abstract

The advent of Industry 4.0 has ushered in a paradigm shift by facilitating the collection of real-time data, thereby providing decision-makers with invaluable insights for formulating strategic and operational decisions. The concept of Industry 4.0 is anticipated to transform conventional mass production, which relies on machines, into a more adaptable digital paradigm. The objective of Logistics 4.0 is to enhance efficiency, flexibility, and transparency within supply chains by integrating the digital transformation principles of Industry 4.0 with logistics processes. In this context, addressing logistics costs necessitates a more holistic and data-driven approach. The advent of Logistics 4.0 has led to a decline in operational costs in areas such as warehousing, transportation, inventory management, and order processing. However, this transition has concomitantly given rise to new cost items, including high-tech investment costs and system integration costs for these technologies. The objective of this study is to ascertain the significance of logistics expenditures for enterprises that have adopted Industry 4.0 production technologies in accordance with the SWARA approach within the paradigm of Logistics 4.0. The findings of the study indicated that inventory management costs were identified as the most significant cost component.

Özet

Endüstri 4.0’ın ortaya çıkışı, gerçek zamanlı verilerin toplanmasını kolaylaştırarak bir paradigma değişimini başlatmış ve böylece karar vericilere stratejik ve operasyonel kararların formüle edilmesi için paha biçilmez içgörüler sağlamıştır. Endüstri 4.0 kavramının, makinelere dayanan geleneksel seri üretimi daha uyarlanabilir bir dijital paradigmaya dönüştürmesi beklenmektedir. Lojistik 4.0 ise, Endüstri 4.0’ın dijital dönüşüm ilkelerini lojistik süreçleriyle entegre ederek tedarik zincirlerinde verimliliği, esnekliği ve şeffaflığı artırmaktır. Bu bağlamda, lojistik maliyetlerinin ele alınması daha bütünsel ve veri odaklı bir yaklaşım gerektirmektedir. Lojistik 4.0’ın ortaya çıkışı, depolama, nakliye, envanter yönetimi ve sipariş işleme gibi alanlarda operasyonel maliyetlerin düşmesine yol açmıştır. Ancak bu geçiş, yüksek teknoloji yatırım maliyetleri ve bu teknolojiler için sistem entegrasyon maliyetleri gibi yeni maliyet kalemlerini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Lojistik 4.0 paradigması çerçevesinde SWARA yaklaşımına uygun olarak Endüstri 4.0 üretim teknolojilerini benimseyen işletmeler için lojistik maliyetlerinin önemini tespit etmektir. Çalışmanın bulguları, stok yönetimi maliyetlerinin en önemli maliyet bileşeni olarak belirlendiğini göstermiştir.
