Abstract

The present study explores the enablers for the integration of Industry 5.0 principles within the automotive industry, emphasizing the transition towards human-centric, sustainable, and resilient manufacturing. This research utilized a three-round Delphi method involving a panel of experts to identify, evaluate, and prioritize key enablers associated with the adoption of Industry 5.0. In order to enhance the analytical depth, consensus trajectory mapping was employed to track opinion convergence across rounds. Fuzzy ranking was applied to provide a more nuanced evaluation of item prioritization. The results indicate a substantial degree of consensus on subjects such as collaborative robotics, cognitive automation, and circular manufacturing. The present study offers theoretical and practical implications, providing a roadmap for researchers and automotive stakeholders seeking to operationalize Industry 5.0 values.
