A TRIZ-Informed Intervention Framework for Sustainable 4IR Adoption in Malaysian Manufacturing and Related Services (MRS) Industries

Abstract

Industry4WRD is Malaysia's effort to become a technological frontrunner in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Based on the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) and scholarly insights on technology adoption, this study creates a flexible 4IR intervention framework for Malaysia's Manufacturing and Related Services (MRS) industry. The evidence-focused reviews, Delphi surveys, content analysis, and patent evaluations comprise the framework's backbone and provide direction for MRS businesses adopting 4IR technologies while keeping risks in check. It is of universal interest because it helps governments and businesses deal with the challenges posed by the 4IR. Ultimately, it helps Malaysian MRS industries to flourish in 4IR tech, promote economic growth, generate employment, and enhance the quality of life in a rapidly developing technology context.
