The document discusses the history of industrial revolutions from the first to the fourth revolution. It outlines the key technologies and transformations that occurred in each revolution. The first revolution involved mechanization powered by steam engines. The second revolution brought about mass production using assembly lines and electricity. The third revolution saw the rise of automation and computer technology. The fourth and current revolution is characterized by cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, additive manufacturing, the internet of things, autonomous robots, and enhanced cybersecurity.

4. • Started with the mechanization of manufacturing.
• The shift in power sources. e.g. : steam engine
powered by coal.
• Factories producing faster and more efficient.
• Manual handwork was replaced, workers operated
first machine tools.
• Change of required skills and knowledge by the
new working class.
First industrial revolution

5. Second industrial revolution
• With electricity as an energy source, mass
production started in the late 19th century.
• Henry Ford’s assembly line revolutionized how
products were produced.
• Trains, cars shortened travel times, goods
delivery, improved mobility.
• The start for mass production, simplification of
tasks for workers in an assembly line.

6. • Mid of the 20th century : automation and
microelectronic technology.
• The development of industrial robots, digitalization,
computer technology.
• Transformed the skills of the factory worker, e.g. :
work with a computer.
• The introduction of Six Sigma and Lean
Management.
• The integration of computers into the planning and
production processes.

17. So, where we are now ?

18. • Mid of the 20th century : automation and microelectronic technology.
• The development of industrial robots, digitalization, computer technology.
• Transformed the skills of the factory worker, e.g. : work with a computer.
• The introduction of Six Sigma and Lean Management.
• The integration of computers into the planning and production processes.
Most of us are here : Third industrial revolution
1. Data and process integration ? Closed loop system or Excel still the king ?
2. Data analysis for decision making ? Again, is it still Excel ?
3. Automation ? Alert, paperless, wireless transaction, machine connectivity.
4. Customer oriented ? Promise date, real time update, responsive.
5. Horizontal integration ? We can start with simple things.
The one that survives is the one that is most adaptable to change
