Even though Industrie 4.0 is a popular topic in the manufacturing industry, many enterprises especially small and medium sized ones are not
aware of the scopes of this topic. As a result, they do not know how to evolve towards Industrie 4.0. Often the first advancement attempts fail
due to a lack of knowledge of the interdependencies between the three dimensions of the sociotechnical approach (technology, organization,

way to Industrie 4.0 in due consideration of the dimension‘s technology, organization and employees. The migration model uses a set of maturity

examples of existing relevant models are given below.
The first example is the Industrie 4.0 Readiness Check

detecting the individual potential of an enterprise for a
transformation to Industrie 4.0. Therefore, their maturity level
in six dimensions (Strategy and Organization, Smart Factory,
Smart Operations, Smart Products, Data-Driven Services and
Employees), each including two topics, is assessed. Each
dimension consists of seven levels, from Zero (Beginners) to
Six (Excellence). The individual assessments are then
summarized in an Industrie 4.0 overall maturity level. Another

is the VDMA-Toolbox which is part of the VDMA-Guideline for
Implementing Industrie 4.0. This Toolbox is supposed to offer
ideas and approaches to the company for implementing

The here presented concept of a maturity model can be used
for various purposes. In the context of the research project
Adaption, it is part of the procedure model that was likewise
developed in the project. Here it is utilized to establish detailed
assessments of the Industrie 4.0 level of a specific pilot sector
in an enterprise. In this regard enterprises have the possibility
to define objectives in the form of target states within the model
at various points in their evolutionary Industrie 4.0 migration
process. The long-term goal of any enterprise using the
maturity model should be to achieve the highest characteristic
level of each criteria without neglecting economic and social
aspects. It is further possible that the short-term optimum
situation for an enterprise is described by a lower characteristic
as it is currently stated.

3.2. The maturity model concept under the consideration of


the socio-technical approach

As mentioned above, the maturity model concept presented


here is used for a detailed determination of the enterprise's
current state as well as for the determination of desired target
states in a variety of areas. Achieving a target status that the
enterprise strives for is a process which successful realization
often requires further progress in other areas. This implies that
progress in one criteria of the model may also need an advance
in other criteria in order to ensure the successful achievement
of the target state. This is du3e to the socio-technical approach Fig. 2: Visualization of Relations using the criteria Maintenance as an
