Abstract: Industry 4.0 is a novel concept in the manufacturing sector that will enhance productivity in the automobile industry. However, there are many challenges to its implementation in the context of the Indian automobile industry. This paper identifies the Human Resource Management (HRM) challenges associated with the implementation of Industry 4.0 in the Indian automobile industry and analyses them using a hybrid methodology. The hybrid model, which is a combination of the Best and Worst Model (BWM) and DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) is implemented in this paper for analysis of the weightages of various challenges followed by its categorization into cause and effect groups. This paper is a unique and novel one that addresses the most contemporary issues related to HRM challenges associated with the implementation of Industry 4.0 practices in the Indian automobile industry. The automobile manufacturers can infer from the results to mitigate the causes of HRM challenges and promote the implementation of Industry4.0 in their plants in a most productive manner.
