Abstract
The concept of Industry 4.0 consists of the digital technologies introduction in companies. It is the way to call the phenomenon of digital transformation applied to the production industry. The problem faced by organizations is that they assimilate the global idea of Industry 4.0 and the technical aspects associated with it. Industry 4.0 is highly linked to technologies such as the Internet of things, which favors predictive analysis, based on the information collected through these solutions, making it easier for companies to anticipate consumer requests. It is necessary that companies can readjust and plan their operations quickly and accurately to respond to the new demands of consumers. The products proliferation will continue to increase in the coming years, in a context that will allow greater customization. Therefore, companies must take advantage of market analysis to improve their supply chains and meet the demands of their users, since the customization of products requires a clear connection with production capabilities. The objective of the research is to describe the properties of Industry 4.0, to propose a measurement system according to the principles of the supply chain, by means of the descriptive and comparative research method.
