The South African brick construction small and medium scale enterprise (SMEs) industry operates on the premise of optimising profitability and realising market-related competitiveness. However, there are numerous challenges affecting the integration of industry 4.0 by the masonry brick construction (SMEs) to improve operational processes negating growth in productivity. The study explores the technological concepts that improve operational processes and how they stimulate the productivity growth of masonry brick construction SMEs. Using a qualitative (inductive/subjective) research approach, this study commenced by listing and identifying relevant research publications. This was followed by a comprehensive literature review of the impact of industry 4.0 on productivity growth within a domain of the brick construction industry in South Africa. Furthermore, this study provides results, conclusions and recommendations emanating from the literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
