The concepts of Industry 4.0 currently challenge manufacturing companies in various divisions such as purchasing, production, intralogistics, sales and human. Therefore, there is great need for a systematic approach to develop and implement industry 4.0 strategies. However, companies show different maturity levels concerning new technologies, processes and organizational aspects. This paper introduces a procedure model enabling companies to analyse their individual maturity level, to identify their own targets and to develop a specific action plan for implementation with an interdisciplinary team. A detailed theoretical as well as practical perspective is given for the procedure model for the field of action human. First application results for an Austrian company are presented showing that organizational changes within this field are still a bottom up driven process instead of a management indicated holistic change process.
