The chapter presents an impact of Industry 4.0 transformation on logistics and supply chain management. Logistics and later supply chain management discipline has gone through a number of changes in the last 50 years, namely transition among mass, lean, agile, resilient, and green. All of them are paradigm changes as each significantly reshapes the orientation of the discipline in the source of competitiveness, risk concern, customer services, productivity, process management, externalities, costs, and other aspects of the disciplines. The author presents findings gained in the exploration of these fundamental changes and provides a comparison with a previous change of paradigm. The chapter proposes a transformation that the company supply chain system has to go through to re-establish its competitive position at the time of Industry 4.0. The chapter provides a case study of 3PL perception of Industry 4.0 based on in-depth interviews conducted among the major global 3PLs operating in the Czech Republic.

The important role of SMEs in the national economy, the development of the current era, namely industry 4.0, requires businesses to continue to be able to innovate, especially in technology and operations including the supply chain SMEs, so it needs encouragement from various groups including academics how to make conceptual material into policy or decisions for actors and stakeholders. The perpetrator of the SME Borondong Industry is one that must be supported because it is a traditional cultural heritage which is also a superior product in West Java so that it is expected to improve the economy. Along with the growing awareness of SMEs on technology, because it is facing the millennial era, it is an opportunity for researchers to provide conceptual treats so that they can be useful for the actors of Borondong Industry SMEs. There are a number of problems that have been borne by these bourgeois SMEs, one of which is the absence of a concept that describes the condition of the supply chain of the SME industry. The aim of this study focuses on issues regarding the Borondong SME supply chain, exploring the areas that need to be improved and assessing how the supply chain performs. The research method used is descriptive with the approach of the Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR). The findings are a general description of the supply chain in the Borondong Industry SMEs.

Abstrak Pendidikan desain industri memerlukan tahapan-tahapan sesuai pada zamannya. Pembelajaran yang dibutuhkan harus sesuai tuntutan zaman yakni kemajuan teknologi yang berfungsi memudahkan dalam aspek penggunaan dan pembuatan dalam bidang desain industri. Desain industri memiliki tahapan dasar, yaitu ide, konsep, gambar sketsa, proyeksi tiga dimensi, pemodelan skala dan mockup atau prototipe. Dalam tiap tahapan tersebut, perkembangan yang mempunyai pengaruh besar adalah tahapan proyeksi tiga dimensi. Proyeksi tiga dimensi tidak hanya sekedar membuat model dan menciptakan hasil render, tapi sudah pada kepada hasil nyatanya yaitu masuk ke ranah 3D mockup/3D prototipe melalui 3D Printer yang disebut sebagai 3D Printing. Pentingnya pendidikan seperti Universitas, Sekolah Tinggi, Akademi maupun tempat-tempat kursus yang memiliki mata pembelajaran ini, wajib menyertakan pendidikan 3D Printing ke dalam mata pembelajaran/mata kuliah 3D Modelling (CAD/CAID). Memasuki era Revolusi Industri Keempat tentu memerlukan beberapa update pada masing-masing mata pembelajaran pada pendidikan desain industri, hal ini karena berkaitan dengan unsur teknologi dalam dunia desain industri yaitu mesin Printer 3D. Saat ini, sangat dibutuhkan lapangan pekerjaan yang membutuhkan operator mesin 3D Printer yang muncul dari lulusan-lulusan desain produk/desain industri. Operator yang dimaksud adalah lulusan yang menguasai software 3D Modelling. Lulusan tersebut harus dibubuhi ilmu dalam pengoperasian mesin 3D Printer yang berkaitan erat dengan CAD/CAID dalam diploma maupun Strata Satu. Sehingga dapat menciptakan lulusan yang berkompeten dan menjadi pekerja yang sangat dibutuhkan di perusahaan yang mengaplikasikan teknologi-teknologi Revolusi Industri Keempat. Kata kunci : 3D Modelling, 3D Printing, Desain Industri, Desain 3D   Abstract Industrial design education requires stages according the timeline of the era. The learning needed must be in accordance with the demands of the era, ie technological advancements that function to facilitate aspects of the use and manufacture in the field of industrial design. Industrial design has basic stages, ie ideas, concepts, sketch drawings, three dimensional projections, scale modeling and mockups or prototypes. In each of these stages, developments that have a large influence are the stages of three dimensional projection. The 3-dimensional projection is not just making a model and creating a rendering result, but it has turned to the real results of entering the 3D mockup / 3D prototype through 3D Printer which is called 3D Printing. The importance of education such as Universities, Colleges, Academies and course places that have this subject of study, must include 3D Printing education into the subject of learning / 3D Modeling (CAD / CAID) courses. Entering the fourth industrial revolution era certainly requires some updates on each subject of learning in industrial design education, this is because it is related to technological elements in the world of industrial design ie 3D Printing machine. At present, jobs are urgently needed that require 3D Printer machine operators to emerge from graduates of product design / industrial design. Approved operators are those who understand 3D Modeling software. These graduates must be knowledgeable in the operation of 3D Printer machines that are closely related to CAD / CAID in diploma or bachelor degree. So that it can create competent graduates who are needed workers in companies that apply fourth industrial revolution technologies.

Purpose – This paper aims to analyze the most relevant and present technologies in Learning Factories, to analyze how these technologies can be integrated and how to analyze how this environment operates given the shortage of a specialist workforce. Theoretical framework - The new technological landscape, also known as Industry 4.0, requires trained personnel to operate, interpret, and make decisions given the new tools. This means that training the professionals who will work in the industries need to come into contact with all this existing Information Technology (IT) architecture and skills need to be encouraged to be developed to allow these professionals to work effectively. One way to act on these fronts is through Learning Factories, which are integrated environments for Industry 4.0 training and the development of technology, applications, and transfer them to industry. Despite recognizing this strategy, there is no explicit discussion on how IT architecture is built, how these technologies are integrated, and which teaching strategies are effective in Learning Factories. Design/methodology/approach - A case study was carried out at a Learning Factory in a Brazilian state university, called ‘Fábrica do Futuro’, describing the present IT systems, their relevance in student education and the teaching strategies adopted, compared with the theoretical sample presented. Findings – A need was identified to explore the integration between all technologies, involving tools, such as 3D printing, radio frequency identification (RFID), Computer Vision and systems such as ERP, MES and PLM. The development of communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills needs to be encouraged for effective learning and adequate operation of these technologies. Originality/Value - This study aims to contribute to universities and research institutions that wish to implant and/or operationalize a Learning Factory, presenting and discussing a possible IT structure and the skills developed with it. Keywords - Learning Factory. Industry 4.0. Information Technologies. ERP. 3D printing.

<p>In this study we aim to investigate recycling of waste plastics products into filaments for use in a typical FDM 3D printing system. We investigate the parameters relating to control of the filament thickness to a variety of different plastic types, which include HDPE and ABS. Following filament generation, parameters were investigated to optimise the print parameters to produce a variety of demonstration models, which test the print resolution. Results suggest that the proposed supply chain can allow for highly repeatable ABS and HDPE filament generation with a diameter of 1.74 ± 0.1mm and 1.65 ± 0.1mm respectively. Ultimately, the production of usable filaments can provide a viable means of consuming waste plastics and reducing the burden of increased landfill. </p>
