The Fourth Industrial Revolution, one of the most debated and researched topic, with countries and businesses directing their focus and effort towards understanding, cultivating, manipulating, and implementing the new approach. The key is in the digitalisation and automation which creates an advent method to production process, product and service creation, customised consumer products, and business approaches. Hence, the demand for new skillset and competencies with highly technical and complex skills are a prerequisite in order for the organisation to succeed. Therefore, this study intends to propose a competence model for organisation to measure employees’ competence in order to achieve the Industry 4.0 transformation. As such, it would be able to provide the necessary competences required to cater for the transformation in Malaysian context. The model can be employed as a diagnostic tool to measure the employees’ readiness for Industry 4.0.
