Abstract :Model factory offers a wide range of training and consultancy services, including experiential learning techniques on continuous improvement, lean production, and digital transformation for businesses in the manufacturing sector. The Industry 4.0 approach guides the design of these applied trainings and consultancy services, which aim to significantly boost enterprises\\\' productivity levels. Ten provinces in Türkiye have established model factories since 2015. One of them is the Ankara Chamber of Industry (ACI) model factory. The aim of this study is to examine the benefits of the companies participating in Learn & Transform Program of the ACI model factory. To evaluate the benefit of the companies participating in the Learn & Transform Program, the number of employees, the production increase rate as a result of the Learn & Transform Program, and the return on investment periods were examined using the WASPAS method. We ranked the participating companies in the program from the highest benefit to the lowest. According to this ranking, F12 was the firm that provided the highest benefit, F2 ranked second, and F6 ranked third. The first-ranked company was determined to be the one that participated in the Learn & Transform Program, and provided the highest benefit among these companies. The last ranked firm, F18, was considered to be the least benefited firm. This analysis gives the model factory managers, experts, and business managers the opportunity to evaluate the Learn & Transform Program.
