Case Study: Intelli Auto:

Specifically, it couples with emerging technology such as Internet of Things (IoT), automation and robotics, to increase productivity and reduce costs and thus digitally transformed the manufacturing sector into the “smart factory”. Although Industry 4.0 has great benefits, it also has significant impact on the manufacturing workforce. Potentially it disrupts the manufacturing processes and also the
future of manufacturing workforce and leads to controversial debate such as fear of jobs being taken by robots, ethical choices between job losses and profit, etc.
Intelli Auto is an automobile parts manufacturer with 5000 employees. The organisation has plan in place to move towards a digital manufacturing factory in next 5 years. Although the digital plan is at its infant stage, Intelli Auto wishes to study its full-time workforce by developing profile of employees that measures factors such as income, job satisfaction, career progress, etc. The current aim is to better understand the employees of the organisation. In addition, the study also helps to better prepare for negotiation with unions in future when the organisation is in transition to digital manufacturing factory. MR.XXX, the Chief Human Resource Officer, hires Datos Lab Corporation (DLC), a consulting firm, to survey Intelli Auto employees and communicate the results.
A survey of a random sample of 1000 employees was conducted. In this assessment, you play the role of Mr xxxx, a data analyst at DLC. MR.XXX has written to you regarding her requests and/or queries relating to the employee survey. Her email to you is reproduced below.
