“…There is an apparent skills gap between the digital skills possess by the manufacturing organisations and what they want to keep up with the digital pace (Chryssolouris et al, 2009b;El Hamdi et al, 2020;Horvath et al, 2018). According to the SAP report in 2018, there is a 20%-40% skills gap between what is needed and required.…”

“…Therefore, one of the most complicated challenges in manufacturing firms is the changing of its structure (Heavin & Power, 2018). Changing the structure of any organisation is an arduous process and needs a lot of time and efforts to overcome the resistance of this change (De Carolis et al, 2018;El Hamdi et al, 2020;Loonam et al, 2018;Paavola et al, 2017).…”

Digital transformation is one of the most evolving areas both in the research literature and in industrial applications. No doubt that this process will be crucial in the survival of any manufacturing organisation in the future, especially during the current COVID-19 crisis. This paper aims to present a review of the concept in the manufacturing industry through the literature currently available on the topic. The literature was classified, and the results of each study were analysed. From this review, six critical findings have been identified in this paper. First, this paper proposes a definition of Digital Transformation and its concept development in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, significant challenges that exist in the manufacturing industry in the implementation of the digital transformation process have been classified as well as the major enabling technologies that help to implement the Digital Transformation. Finally, the benefits of implementing Digital Transformation in the manufacturing industry and its impact on the manufacturing ecosystem have been highlighted. Following a comprehensive review of the literature, future research directions are formulated to identify abundant research opportunities.

The war to technology and economic powers has been the driver for industrialization in most developed countries. The first industrial revolution (industry 1.0) earned millions for textile mill owners, while the second industrial revolution (industry 2.0) opened the way for tycoons and captains of industry such as Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan. The third industrial revolution (industry 3.0) engendered technology giants such as Apple and Microsoft and made magnates of men such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Now, the race for the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0) is on and there is no option, and every country whether developed or developing must participate. Many countries have positively responded to industry 4.0 by developing strategic initiatives to strengthen industry 4.0 implementation. Unlocking the country’s potential to industry 4.0 has been of interest to researchers in the recent past. However, the extent to which industry 4.0 initiatives are being launched globally has never been divulged. Therefore, the present study aimed at exploring industry 4.0 initiatives through a comprehensive electronic survey of the literature to estimate the extent of their launching in different regions. Inferences were drawn from industry 4.0 initiatives in developed nations to be used as the recommendations for the East African Community. Results of the survey revealed that 117 industry 4.0 initiatives have been launched in 56 countries worldwide consisting of five regions: Europe (37%), North America (28%), Asia and Oceania (17%), Latin America and the Caribbean (10%), and Middle East and Africa (8%). The worldwide percentage was estimated as 25%. This revealed that there is a big gap existing between countries in the race for industry 4.0.

“…The most selected response with a percentage of 33% linked industry 4.0 definition to the development within industry of artificial intelligence, and Industrial Internet of Things IIoT. This perception is reinforced by the government increasing interests towards the development of these two aspects of industry 4.0, through the promotion of projects and initiatives that reinforce their integration within Morocco, and by survey results that were launched with the purpose of analyzing industry 4.0 integration within Morocco and its potential opportunities [44] (Fig. 6).…”

Industrial world today is experiencing its fourth industrial revolution. Predecessor of the automation industry, Industry-4.0 adds a layer of autonomy, intelligence and advanced connectivity to complex industrial systems. This layer creates an interactive and dynamic bridge between virtual systems and physical systems with their upward constraints and requirements in a constantly changing physical environment. Digital twins fall into the category of advanced concepts and technologies that enhance this connectivity. Several projects have been launched in Morocco by the government, industrialists and research communities, initiating the digital transformation of Moroccan industrial manufactories and companies. This paper comes within this framework, firstly to highlight the great potential that digital twins can offer for Moroccan industrial context enhancement, secondly to identify the challenges that can hinder the integration and development of digital twins in Moroccan industrial environment.
