In the era of Industry 4.0, where advanced technologies transform manufacturing, the demand for technical expertise increases. Equally important are soft skills, like communication, adaptability, problem-solving, and teamwork, enabling workers to effectively collaborate, navigate change, and integrate human insight with digital systems. As manufacturing environments become more complex and interconnected, developing these human-centric skills may foster innovation, enhance productivity, and ensure long-term success in an evolving industrial landscape. Developing Soft Skills for Manufacturing in Industry 4.0 explores soft skills in the modern manufacturing landscape shaped by Industry 4.0. It examines the role these skills play in enhancing collaboration, adaptability, and decision-making within automated and digitally connected work environments. This book covers topics such as business decision-making, data analysis, and automation, and is a useful resource for business owners, engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
