In the current increasingly competitive business environment, businesses need to be mobile, flexible, and real-time, as more and more companies are adopting Industry 4.0 technologies to improve their performance. This research paper assesses the level of readiness of the Moroccan automotive companies to implement Industry 4.0 technologies in their supply chain. The term Supply Chain 4.0 encompasses technologies and concepts integrated into the value chain of an organization. Following this trend, there is an increase in the need to study how to implement them in companies.
