Abstract :

The value chain process has significant importance in the manufacturing industry for achieving operational success. In order to mitigate errors, it is essential for manufacturing firms to optimize their operational processes with utmost efficiency. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that effectively enhances operational excellence inside enterprises. In order to actualize the Internet of Things (IoT), it is essential for the industrial sector to actively participate in and effectively incorporate this technology into its routine operations. Numerous studies have been undertaken to explore the possibilities of the Internet of Things (IoT) for various enterprises. Nevertheless, the use of IoT remains limited in several sectors, such as the Manufacturing industry in poorer nations. The objective of this article is to identify and assess the elements that have an impact on the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) in the manufacturing sector of Malaysia. Additionally, a proposed model for the implementation of IoT in this industry will be presented. The identification of drivers was conducted by means of a comprehensive analysis of prior examinations. Additionally, a paradigm known as the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework is suggested, drawing on the idea of information system adoption. The Delphi approach was used to conduct a survey among users of the Internet of Things (IoT), and the findings revealed that the selected parameters examined in this research had a noteworthy influence on the deployment of IoT within the manufacturing sector of Malaysia. This study aims to facilitate the comprehension of Manufacturing organizations about the many facets of Internet of Things (IoT) implementation. It seeks to enhance their business structure and investment in IoT, while also serving as a source of inspiration for researchers to delve into further research on novel factors related to IoT adoption or implementation.
