Abstract
The study tackled an important problem in industrial management by considering prior works that noted gaps in the production process optimization. It highlighted the necessity of integrating data-driven innovation to improve the operational data of the given processes. The research provided the model with the methodological framework based on the quantitative and qualitative instruments, which incorporated the essential steps of data gathering, statistical evaluation, and validation of results through real-life case studies. The results showed a measurable enhancement in productivity, while the cycle time was decreased, confirming the effectiveness of the approach. In addition, the academic impact was noted with the contribution and the solid foundation provided for further research, while the socioeconomic impact was noted with the optimization of the resources and the reduction of the costs. This research provided an invitation to the scientists and the practitioners to pursue the new avenues that support and deepen the assimilation of the new technologies for industrial competitiveness.
