Summary:In recent years, efficient processes have become increasingly important because of high-level competition in the production industry. The concept of Industry 4.0 is a relatively new and effective method for managing production processes. Because the Industry 4.0 implementation process includes connections between objects, humans, and systems, it is quite difficult to evaluate and measure the performance. At this stage, performance criteria can be applied. However, linguistic evaluation of criteria makes the problem too complicated to solve. The purpose of this paper is to present a novel fuzzy performance measurement model for Industry 4.0 in small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. A hybrid spherical fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (SF-AHP)—weighted score methodology (WSM) is proposed for the performance measurement and scoring process. In the application part of this paper, the propounded methodology was applied to five companies. The results of this study can be used as a reference for experts in the performance measurement of the Industry 4.0 process.
