Abstract

The application of modern production systems has become a local requirement in light of contemporary developments, as it saves effort, time, cost, and speed in most production strategies. Organizations must re-engineer their operations to keep pace with these developments, especially technical ones, and maintain their competitive advantage for survival and growth. Therefore, this research came to identify the nature of the relationship between the concepts of process re-engineering and smart manufacturing in the chlorine and soda production plant / Al-Fart General Company for Chemical Industries and Pesticides / Al-Musayyib. The questionnaire tool was used to obtain data and information in order to determine the relationships between Re-engineering of Production Processes and Smart Manufacturing, and statistical programs (SPSS v.28, Microsoft Excel 2016) and some statistical methods (Pearson correlation coefficient, simple linear regression coefficient) were used to analyze the data The questionnaire amounted to (102) questionnaire. The research attempts to answer a main question: “What is the nature of the correlation and influence relationships between the concept of re-engineering production processes and smart manufacturing in its dimensions?” One of the most prominent results of the research was that there is a correlation and a significant impact between the concept of re-engineering of production processes and smart manufacturing in its dimensions. The factory because of its importance in visualizing and building future predictive models.
