Abstract

Dijitalleşme imalat sektöründe faaliyet gösteren işletmeler için zorluklarla birlikte büyük fırsatlar da sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı imalat işletmelerinin dijital dönüşüm sürecinde yaşadıkları zorlukları, dönüşüme girme nedenlerini, elde ettikleri faydaları, kullandıkları donanımları belirleyebilmek için nitel bir çalışma yapmaktır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yönteminden fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Bu nedenle Konya’da faaliyette bulunan ve dijitalleşme deneyimine sahip 7 imalat işletmesiyle derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında dijital dönüşüme geçiş nedenleri, dijital dönüşüm sürecindeki zorluklar, dijitalleşme kapsamında kullanılan donanımlar, dijitalleşmeyi uyguladıkları departmanlar, dijital dönüşümün faydaları ve dijital dönüşüm sürecinde ihtiyaç duyulan yetkinlikler olarak altı ana tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre işletmeler maliyetlerini düşürebilmek, rekabet avantajı kazanabilmek, çevrenin değişkenliğine uyum sağlayabilmek için dijitalleşme sürecine girmişlerdir. Dijitalleşme sürecinde bulunan işletmelerin verimliliklerinin arttığı, hız kazandıkları, kaynak kullanımını etkin hale getirdikleri elde ettikleri faydalar arasındadır.

Abstract

Digitalisation offers great opportunities as well as challenges for businesses operating in the manufacturing sector. The aim of this study is to conduct a qualitative study to determine the difficulties experienced by manufacturing enterprises in the digital transformation process, the reasons for entering the transformation, the benefits they have obtained, and the equipment they use. In this study, phenomenology design from qualitative research method was used. For this reason, in-depth interviews were conducted with 7 manufacturing enterprises operating in Konya and having digitalisation experience. In the light of the findings, six main themes emerged as the reasons for transition to digital transformation, difficulties in the digital transformation process, the equipment used within the scope of digitalisation, the departments where they implement digitalisation, the benefits of digital transformation and the competencies needed in the digital transformation process. According to the results obtained, enterprises have entered the digitalisation process in order to reduce their costs, gain competitive advantage and adapt to the variability of the environment. Among the benefits obtained by the enterprises in the digitalisation process are that their productivity increases, they gain speed, and they make the use of resources efficient.
Key Words: Digitalization, Manufacturing Businesses, Qualitative Research
