Model Production Based on Industry 5.0 Pillars for Textile SMEs

Abstract

One of the most significant sectors in the global economy is the textile industry, which has been influenced by events such as globalization, technological development, global warming, and the recent COVID-19. It has caused important changes in the way of producing and marketing. Therefore, this article proposes the construction of a theoretical textile production model that incorporates sustainability practices, resilience and focuses on the human being. These concepts are part of the Industry 5.0 (I5.0) philosophy. Through a systematic review of the literature, 58 articles published between 2012 and 2022 were analyzed. The analysis was done using Atlas. ti software, with the application of three questions (who, what, and where) that were answered. In addition, a new complementary literature review was carried out to deepen the research. According to the literature reviewed, still do not have a culture of applying the elements of I5.0 in production models for SMEs. Therefore, in the research, it was not easy to understand the intrinsic variables of I5.0 that SMEs have applied in the textile area. The results show that there are significant deficiencies in the literature on sustainable, resilient production models with a focus on the human being in the textile sector, thus, a theoretical production model is proposed. This model presents the core dimensions of a theoretical model of textile production called “ProS-5.0”, considering innovative approaches based on the concepts of I5.0. These are presented in a holistic way from the point of view of production models, processes, subprocesses, and activities. Likewise, the benefits and challenges of “ProS-5.0” are established. Practical implications and directions for future research are also mentioned.
