Abstract
Industry 4.0 transformation requires each unit and component in firms to be integrated with each other. Many maturity and readiness models have been developed in order to examine the current status of firms in Industry 4.0 technology and to better understand the process of transformation. The aim of this study is to determine the readiness levels of medium and large-scale firms operating in Manisa and Izmir Organized Industrial Zones for Industry 4.0 and to examine the factors affecting the readiness levels of firms with the Ordered Logit model. For this purpose, according to the results obtained within the scope of IMPULS Industry 4.0 Readiness Model, it has been observed that a significant part of the firms is mostly at the 2nd and 3rdlevel and largescale firms have a higher level of readiness. However, according to the result of the Ordered Logit model, it has been revealed that the most important variable determining the level of readiness for Industry 4.0 is Intention, which indicates the tendency of the firms to use Industry 4.0 technology.
