Which 4.0 Professional CompetenciesShould Develop Middle Managersand Operators?

Álvaro Lleo-de-Nalda, José Ignacio Terrés Goena, Elisabeth Viles Díez,and Javier Santos

Abstract There is no doubt about the impact that the 4th Industrial Revolution ishaving in our factories. New technologies are being developed, and huge quantitiesof money are being invested for modernizing our plants. Theses technologies arealso impacting on operational and people management, and new professional com-petences are required for being able to work successfully in this environment. Inthis paper, combining literature review and fieldwork with 22 different companiesthat operate with 4.0 technologies, we identify and prioritize a list of 23 professionalcompetencies.

Keywords 4.0 professional competencies · Industry 4.0 · Talent development ·Higher education · Engineering education

1 Introduction and Purpose

The concept of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is increasingly present in our society. Several factssupport this idea1: Industry 4.0 has more than 275 million results in Google in only0.48 s. Internet of Things (IoT) is referenced over 270 million times in half a second.The United States of America will invest up to 900 billion dollars per annum until2020 [6]. In the European Union, there are almost 30 initiatives to finance researchin these technological developments. In Spain, there are two of them: IndustriaConectada 4.0 and Basque Industry 4.0.

Regarding the description of this concept, there are several definitions and it seemsthat there is no consensus about a final definition. Some of themost known definitionsare:

• “Industry 4.0 is a recent concept that refers to a fourth industrial revolution, whichconsists in the introduction of digital technologies in industry” [12].

• McKinsey defines Industry 4.0 as “digitization of the manufacturing sector,with embedded sensors in virtually all product components and manufacturingequipment, ubiquitous cyberphysical systems, and analysis of all relevant data”[18].

• The Boston Consulting Group describes this concept as “Now, though, we are inthe midst of a fourth wave of technological advancement: the rise of new digitalindustrial technology known as Industry 4.0, a transformation that is powered bynine foundational technology advances” [14].

• Sachon [15], professor of IESE Business School, proposes that “Industry 4.0 isa natural evolution of previous industrial revolutions, from the mechanizationof manual work in the XVIIIth century to automatization, with interconnectedintelligent machines which can work autonomously to obtain products in flexibleand reconfigurable systems”.

There are other ideas that can be added related to this concept, such as Internet ofThings, additive manufacturing, or Big Data. In a report by The Boston ConsultingGroup, nine foundational technology advances are identified: simulation, additivefabrication, horizontal and vertical integral systems, cybersecurity, augmented real-ity, cloud computing, autonomous robots, Internet of Things, Big Data, and analysis[14].

Besides identifying the nine foundational technologies, some studies highlightthe key aspects on which Industry 4.0 is based. In a report written by McKinsey &Company [18], they describe four pillars that group the nine technologies:

• Data: This pillar contains everything related to systems’ connectivity and thegathering of huge amounts of data with sensors. For that, new technologies, suchas the Internet of Things, Big Data, and cloud technology, are very helpful.

• Analysis and Artificial Intelligence: In order to obtain data, it is necessary to havesystems that are able to analyze information and make decisions. The followingdisciplines are inside this pillar: simulation, data analytics, machine learning, etc.

• Human–Machine Interaction: Some tasks done by humans will be simplifiedwith virtual reality or augmented reality systems.

• Digital to Physical: This pillar refers mainly to 3D printing for prototypingand final pieces, after simulating its behavior by computer. It also includescollaborative robots for repetitive and low-value operations.

With this context of technological development, it seems reasonable to assume thatthe new industrial paradigm is having a huge impact on operational and people man-agement.Moreover, regarding workforce, it also seems reasonable that those 4.0 pro-fessionals would develop new skills for being able to adapt to this new environmentand take advantage of it.

Which 4.0 Professional Competencies Should Develop Middle … 5

Thus, the aim of this paper is to identifywhat the 4.0 professional competences arethat workers, operators, and middle managers should develop. Moreover, we wantto prioritize the importance of each competence with respect to the present as wellas in 10 years.

2 Methodology

In order to obtain the goals pointed out, we defined a research methodology com-bining literature review with fieldwork with professionals affected by industry 4.0.In the first phase, we attempted to summarize the divergent knowledge generatedaround this new industrial transformation and 4.0 professional competences. After-ward, once a list of 4.0 skills was developed, we discussed it with a number ofprofessionals that work with 4.0 technologies.

2.1 Literature Review

The aim of the literature review was to understand the concept of Industry 4.0 andits impact on operational management. A wide range of reports, academic articles,studies, and interviews were analyzed to get an idea of what professionals and sci-entists think about Industry 4.0 and to identify the changes that this new paradigm isgoing to cause. The majority of the ideas about the 4.0 phenomenon were found inthe European Commission, the World Economic Forum, and the reports and studiesdone by McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, and IESE Business School. We iden-tified several definitions of I4.0, and the pillars over this paradigmwere built.We alsoidentified the technologies that concretize this industrial revolution and some realcases of I4.0 implementation. Subsequently, we focused on the professional trans-formation that workers need to carry out in order to be able to adapt successfully tothis environment [4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19].

An initial search was carried out using the keywords “Industry 4.0” and “compe-tences”, “Industry 4.0” and “education” and “Industry 4.0” and “human” in the Webof Science.

A number of them were filtered because, although they indicate the importanceof new skills, they don’t specify the new 4.0 competences the new transformationis demanding. However, we found five publications that propose a number of 4.0professional abilities [3, 5, 7, 11, 19]. Putting them all together, a list of 58 differentcompetences was developed. Following the proposal from Gehrke et al. [5], wedivided them into technical and personal skills. Moreover, we compared and groupedseveral of them and we defined a list of 23 different skills, 10 of them were technicalcompetences and 13 personal.

2.2 Interviews

With the collaboration of Tecnun’sDepartment of External Relationships, we defineda list of 80 industrial companies from the North of Spain, which were invited tocollaborate with this study. Finally, 22 companies were interviewed. The respondentswere mostly engineers, but other profiles, such as Human Resource (HR) managers,area directors, or general directors also participated in the study. The mean durationwas about 30–45min. The authors elaborated a report, which is online and accessibleto the public.2

3 Results

Considering all the information compiled in the interviews, in Figs. 1 and 2, thepresent-day situation of operators and supervisors can be observed, as well as aforecast for the future.

With regard to technical competences, on the one hand, the most important oper-ators’ skills are the ability to interact with modern interfaces and information tech-nologies. Moreover, in the future, respondents state the necessity of improving theirknowledge related to IT, information security, and data protection. On the other hand,from the point of view of middle managers, every competence, excepting mainte-nance and reparation of electronic equipment, seems to be important (with valuesgreater than 3). The ability to use modern interfaces and the knowledge in organiza-tion and processes stand out with data analysis being of the most relevance. In the

future, they need to develop their abilities about implementation of 4.0 solutions,information security, and data protection.

With relation to personal competences, respondents stated that the most impor-tant operators’ skills in the future will be: adaptability and flexibility to change,teamwork and cooperation and creativity and entrepreneurship. In the case of super-visors or middle managers, the respondents say that, except for networking, personalcompetences will be even more important in the future.

4 Discussion and Conclusion

Based on a two-step procedure, this paper combines a summary of professionalcompetences, technological and personal, stated in literature that people who wantto take advantage of Industry 4.0 should develop taking into account the opinionof 22 different engineers who work in well-known enterprises that have alreadyimplemented and operate with 4.0 technologies. Moreover, this paper presents aprioritization, in the present and in 10 years, about these technical and personalcompetences distinguishing operators from middle managers.

The analysis of the information manifests that, regarding the personal compe-tences, the amount of changes introduced requires that operators should develop theflexibility to change as well as the creativity to take advantage of this revolution.From the supervisors’ point of view, they should develop adaptation ability to the 4.0paradigm, design new job positions, and assign responsibilities. Both supervisors andoperators, due to the high level of interconnectivity caused by Industry 4.0, shouldincrease their teamwork skills: operators for being able to work in multidisciplinaryteams and supervisors, because they need to manage these groups.

Interest in personal competencies or soft skills has been growing because employ-ers are complaining about a lack of such skills in candidates [17] and the impact of

these skills has been well demonstrated [16]. Teaching or developing soft skillsis a challenge [1]. Literature shows that different approaches have been adopted:classroom teaching [2], practical experience or other channels that include self-assessments, exposure to work situations, real-world examples, and dialog [1]. Men-toring seems to be a good resource for developing these personal competences[8, 9].

With regard to technical competences, operators need to learn more about infor-mation technologies, the new interfaces, and the data security and protection. Theimportance of these skills comes from the sensorization of the factories and theability to collect information. From the supervisor’s point of view, the necessity ofdata analysis and process organization and management increases to be able to takeadvantage of the information compiled and to reorganize the factory according tothe new parameters. Literature about the development of technical skills is abundant;however, future research needs to be carried out to adapt these methodologies and todesign a program for developing 4.0 technical competences.

Integrated Project Delivery: A LiteratureReview and Research Agenda

Iván González-Boubeta and José Carlos Prado-Prado

Abstract Currently, the construction industry has found a way to improve its com-petitiveness inLeanConstruction, particularly in its IntegratedProjectDelivery (IPD)tool. The IPD methodology is based on collaboration between all the participantsin a project and seeks to identify and eliminate waste in all construction activities.Motivated by IPD’s potential, this paper systematically reviews the literature in orderto structure concepts linked to the approach. As a result of this review, the authorsdevelop a framework and reveal a series of gaps that could be used to define a pathforward for future research work.

Keywords Lean construction · Integrated project delivery (IPD) · Projectmanagement · Collaboration · Construction industry

1 Introduction

Market globalization, together with the current turbulent environment, has shownthat competition is also global. This has led many companies to recognize the needto draw up action plans and rationalize their resources in order to adapt what they doto the new demands of the market. In the construction industry, this has traditionallybeen criticized as inefficient [26], this approach has become more widespread inrecent years in a bid to reduce waste and obtain a product that meets customer needsas closely as possible.

One of the most interesting methodologies in response to this issue is Lean Con-struction. The originator of the concept, Lauri Koskela [14], developed this manage-ment philosophy by applying the principles of Lean Production to construction activ-ities. Once created, many authors applied this way of thinking [2, 10] and obtainedhighly successful results.

Within the Lean Construction framework, there are several concepts, tools, andmethodologies. However, from a management point of view, the most importantamong all the currently existing ideas is the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), whichthe American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines as “a project delivery methodthat integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process thatcollaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to reduce wasteand optimize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication and construction”[1], p. 4. In other words, IPD is a management methodology that allows the points ofview of all the players participating in a project to be integrated in a structured way.This results in a multidisciplinary and global perspective that is vital in the worldof construction, where a large number of organizations are usually immersed in aproject’s subcontracting chain [21].

The literature does not have to be studied for long before references appear toanother similar concept that is frequently confused with IPD: Lean Project DeliverySystem (LPDS). The approaches are similar, and their working methodologies arepractically identical as they both operate through cooperation and partnering [4].However, there is one fundamental difference in that IPD also includes the commer-cial and contractual elements that bind all the players together in the project. Thismeans that greater importance is placed on defining the framework for cooperationso that all the participants feel comfortable and can work in harmony. The similaritybetween the two approaches has led to IPD being considered an evolution of LPDSas it takes many of the latter’s ideas on board as its own [23]. Furthermore, IPDstresses inclusion from the outset of all the parts beyond the basic triad (developer,designer, constructor), which further emphasizes its collaborative character.

Some researchers have concentrated on understanding the advantages of LeanConstruction, while others have focused on the functioning of specific elements ortools linked to the philosophy [12, 28]. However, there appears to be no academicliterature centered on its methodological part (i.e., IPD) and the relation existingbetween that methodology and other tools that fall within the scope of Lean Con-struction (e.g., BIM, Last Planner®). Therefore, despite frequent references to it inliterature, IPD has seldom been dealt with as a specific topic [23]. Moreover, giventhe proliferation of studies on Lean Construction in recent years, there appears to bea need to structure and clarify the contents of the existing research.

This article deals with these aspects by reviewing the literature on the concept ofIPD in order to define a new research agenda. This is done by firstly undertaking athematic and categorized analysis of the existing literature in order to identify whatis known about IPD. That is followed by a discussion of the results based on thegaps detected and a definition of future lines for research. Finally, the most relevantaspects of the study are described in a series of conclusions.

2 Methodology

Themethodology employed is basedon a rigorous approach taken from theguidelinesof Wee and Banister [27] for literature reviews. The authors opted to carry out asystematic review using the SCOPUS database as their bibliographical source.

In order that the search results were as closely linked as possible to the term IPD,an algorithm was designed that considered the terminology used for this topic. Thealgorithm took into account results that referred directly to IPD and also the concep-tual predecessor, LPDS, from which it evolved. Likewise, the term “cooperation”was added, as it has also been used to refer to the same idea. Finally, following therecommendation of Saunders et al. [22] the search was limited to peer-review articlesand conference proceedings as these bibliographical sources are more trustworthyfor literature reviews.

Once the results from the algorithm were obtained, the three-stage filter method-ology proposed byReim et al. [20] was used. Figure 1 shows the details of the processand the criteria followed at each stage. Finally, 46 papers related closely to IPD wereobtained and thoroughly analyzed. This in-depth analysis allowed the authors to sortthe studies into three groups, depending on the quality of their findings and theirrelevance according to the proposed objectives. Thus, 15 papers considered to beof high quality were obtained, the contents of which included, to a great extent, thesubject matter of the other 31. These 15 articles (Table 1) are, therefore, the ones thatare more closely related to the study objectives and they have been used as the basisfor undertaking the bibliographical review.

3 Results

After the in-depth analysis, the papers were grouped into the following categories.

3.1 Contractual Framework

The contractual framework in which IPD is developed is one of the most commentedissues in the literature. As a starting point, many authors [3, 15, 16, 18] have stated theneed for a contract that formally lays down the basis for a project’s workings. The firstwork related to this subject corresponds to Matthews and Howell [16]. Their studyidentifies a series of problems that are typical to construction projects and proposesa contractual system to help solve them. The mechanics of this system is basedon establishing the main contract between the customer and the basic developer–designer–builder triad and then a series of secondary contracts that group together, bydiscipline, the builder, the designers, and the various subcontractors (Primary Team

Member—PTM). In this way, it is easier to maintain the collaborative approach onwhich IPD is based.

From this basic outline, other authors have gone on to study the most suitable typeof contract. Ghassemi andBecerik-Gerber [9] propose the possibility of transactionalcontracts, used to exchange goods and services, or relational contracts, aimed atestablishing norms of behavior for the signatories. These authors and Ballard [3]state that binding the parties by relational contract is more beneficial as this type ofagreement is more in line with the basic principles of IPD. However, Darrington [6]is skeptical about these statements, pointing out that a transactional contract couldalso be valid as long as collaboration is applied along the whole supply chain andnot because the developer expressly orders it.

It is even harder to decide which contract to choose when bearing inmind that IPDsupports risk and reward sharing among aproject’s participants. In practice, structuresfor sharing can reach high levels of complexity, and several methodologies coexistfor them [13]. That is why it is particularly important to put these aspects down inwriting in a contract to avoid any conflicts of interest between the parties.

3.2 Culture and Organization

The concept of IPD encompasses a series of cultural and organizational aspects thatare crucial for understanding how this methodology works. Just like LPDS before it,IPD is committed to establishing relationships of trust between all project’s partnersby employing a model based on alliancing and partnering [18, 19, 24]. Some ofthe most important reasons for keeping up this type of relationship are the correctadaptation of the product to meet customer requirements and the reduction of projectcosts from the outset. Furthermore, studies have appeared in recent years that explainthe benefits of this way of working for all the parties. For example, the study byJavanmardi et al. [11] points out that a subcontractor alone cannot improve theirbenefits unless they are introduced into a work group. Along the same lines, Eriksson[7] states that a multidisciplinary approach can help identify and eliminate waste atall stages of a project, giving rise to win-win relationships between participants.Therefore, in order to raise awareness among everyone involved in the importanceof collaborative work, prior training in the IPD methodology and its techniques isrecommended [9, 13].

3.3 Main Tools and IPD-BIM Integration

Within the Lean Construction framework, there are two main tools that, becauseof their popularity, have become intrinsically linked to the IPD methodology. Theyare target value design (TVD) and Last Planner. On the one hand, TVD consistsof planning and monitoring a project’s cost at all stages, but particularly during the

Page 29: Rodolfo de Castro Gerusa Giménez Editors Advances in … · 2020. 9. 10. · Organization Program Chairs Rodolfo de Castro, Escola Politècnica Superior, Universitat de Girona, Spain

16 I. González-Boubeta and J. C. Prado-Prado

design stage as this is when it is easier to reduce the final cost [3]. Last Planner, on theother hand, consists of reducing variability in planning by means of decision-makingdepending on daily performance. The reference study for this subject is by Cho andBallard [5], who observed that applying this tool has beneficial effects even whenthere is a scarce implementation of an IPD culture. The success of the combineduse of TVD and Last Planner has been shown in cases analyzed by Ghassemi andBecerik-Gerber [9].

Building information modeling (BIM) systems are another tool which, althoughnot a part of IPD itself, is often linked to it. These systems are based on a virtual rep-resentation of a construction that allows all its characteristics to be seen. As they areinteractive, BIM systems are considered to be an important support tool for collabora-tion and decision-making [13]. Integrating BIM into IPD is an issue that has gainedin importance in recent years because of its practical implications. Unfortunately,there are some obstacles to achieve this integration, such as the implementation ofcomplex software and a lack of training in its use [8]. However, these difficultiescontrast with the great opportunity BIM offers the sector. According to Mei et al.[17], the path toward innovation in the construction industry requires a combinationof BIM and IPD, and an effort therefore seems necessary to develop the relationship.

4 Discussion and Research Agenda

Analysis of the literature shows clearly different subject categories. In general terms,the contractual framework and IPD culture are the most developed areas. This makesclear what has already been stated by Smith et al. [23] when they stressed the needto develop more connections with IPD tools and with the technological sphere (i.e.,BIM). This need becomes more apparent in the case of IPD and BIM integration dueto the great expectations that exist regarding the benefits that such an alliance couldprovide [8, 17].

The following research agenda contains the gaps detected in the cultural andcontractual category:

• Risk and reward sharing: Little has been written on establishing under what termsthe risks and rewards should be shared, how the levels of sharing are set, or howperformance will be affected. Providing more details on these aspects, includedwithin one of the pillars of IPD [16], is crucial from a practical viewpoint.

• Sustainable approach: Given the current attention being paid to sustainability,there is a remarkable absence of studies linking its three pillars (economic, envi-ronmental, and social) to IPD. The economic pillar can be said to underlie IPDowing to its potential to generate savings, but other topics, such as safety at work(social pillar) or the use of environmentally friendly materials (environmentalpillar), have hardly been dealt with. There is, therefore, a lack of studies that shedlight on the relationship with these areas.

• The role of geographic and socio-cultural factors: The setting and social customsplay an important role in the approach to work. These factors can therefore berelevant when it comes to developing a project by implementing the collaborativeculture of IPD. To this end, developing studies that could reveal barriers or impactson performance would be of great interest from a practical point of view.

By advancing along these lines of research, it would be possible to define IPD’spotential further and highlight its central role in project management.

5 Conclusions

For this article, a literature review has been undertaken for the IPD concept in orderto clarify what contents already exist and define new research lines. After the reviewand the grouping of contents in different subject categories, it has been possible toidentify a series of areas that are not well developed. In consequence, a researchagenda was defined.

Finally, the important role that Lean Construction should have in the constructionindustry of the future must be highlighted. The use of IPD and other Lean Con-struction tools is an interesting line of activity for organizations that want to reducecosts and increase productivity. Companies should therefore take an interest in thiscollaborative methodology and analyze the great benefits that its application couldlead to.
