Planning of resources in enterprises maintains all internal processes, as it provides the opportunity to follow up and analyze engineering, human resources, production, delivery chain, accounting. Important aspect is the personal-configuration of own business rules in the software.
Today Industrial Enterprises are facing the challenge of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Steam Power, Henry Ford’s Assembly Line, and Proliferation of Coal-based energy etc. – each of these developments in the evolution of manufacturing fundamentally changed the way products were manufactured and the way manufacturers moved products from factory to the customers. The present paper discusses the term “Industry 4.0” and its main characteristics, as well. Furthermore, a theoretical framework for evaluation the key technologies and concepts with respect to their impact on the production engineering and management. Also this paper discusses and some given arguments why manufacturers need to make changes in their traditional view of the functioning of the production system in term of “Industry 4.0”.
Firms progressively search for new technologies and methods to develop sustainable competitive advantage. This article is aimed to investigate the pros and cons of integrating human RFID chip implants and Artificial Intelligence in the new digital global environment. The paper focuses on the new digital communication and machine culture, which rises between human and machine. It represents the unlimited industrial possibilities and potential of Artificial Intelligence. It also assesses the future risk that the world of human work being run by artificial management and the social impact to the public.
In the past one hundred years, there were more global changes than in the previous one thousand years.
Planning the innovative products includes both a technical and commercial evaluation. Suppose, an organization is looking for a new product and has several alternatives that finish initial screening at the same time. Sometimes the organization will have enough resources to develop and market all of these innovations, but usually resources are limited and one product is being chosen above the others. So we need some simple methods to compare products and choose the best. There are several ways of comparing the products, one of this is Quality function deployment QFD and Break even point BEP method. The goal of this paper is commercial evaluation with Break even point method as method for comparing the products and QFD method usage on the theory and practice base.
Success in the market can only be achieved if the business processes are designed and realized with the optimum use of the resources in order to do the best job for the first time, without any disadvantages, without waste of time and to the satisfaction of all the interested parties. Sustainable success can only be left out if innovations are being promoted and innovated. That is why this paper is based on innovations in correlation with the European Quality Award, so we are evaluating the state of innovativeness of the relationship with the model of business excellence. The enterprises have been analyzed through the questionnaire in accordance with the criteria for obtaining the international quality award.
The obtained data have united the experience and reality of significance of a number of certifed organizational systems in Montenegro. The analysis of data, principles and strategies that would be resulted from this research should help and provide useful directives in developing of a model for improving of organizational performance, in defining of measures to achieve a sustainable business systems, for increase of innovation, to contribute the strenghtening of links among the enterprises, scientific research and Innovation.
The research focuses on university-industry technology transfer, which is becoming increasingly important. The research analyses factors affecting the certain case of university-industry cooperation. The factors are tested by adapting the Kano methodology, often used for determining consumer needs and quality assurance purposes. The research results show that although in most cases the respondents’ opinion on the importance of certain factors is not homogenous; nonetheless it indicates that the greatest importance should be paid to the factor defining the students’ abilities to absorb the skills. In the meantime, the accuracy of the stated outcomes can be considered as the most successful factor in this case. The research results may not be generalized due to the limitations in the tested aspects as well as the fact that it analyses a certain case study, but it can be used for complementary purposes in the context with other case studies.
Economic-mathematical models have been developed and proposed to determine the amount of funds required in early stages of a new product design. This will allow reducing the volume of operations in the pre-production stage and will help structurally optimize the innovative product lifecycle.
In the center of the development of the new cars marketing tendencies in the next decades lay the innovations in few industries which interact between. This leads to the appearance of the autonomous vehicles, connected vehicles – between themselves, with the infrastructure and with the other personal smart belonging, incl. home; the strategic approach towards smart vehicles, shared vehicles, electric vehicles and finding ways this technology to become mainstream. These are now priority for the largest car manufacturers. The technology, Internet of Things, the environment and the change in the consumer behavior will create new types of products – smarter, more intelligent, more connected and integrated into connected ecosystems between the industries and businesses.
Many theoretical concepts of studying innovation strategies concentrate on selected aspects and determinants of this phenomenon and dissemble cohesive and wider perspective. In result there is lack of comprehensive researches concerning innovation policies, especially covering long term, repetitive studies based on the same methodology. The main purpose of this article is to assess innovation strategies applied in Polish medium and large industrial enterprises based on three dimensional innovation activity model – innovation cube. Those dimensions are: place of creating, continuity of activity and way of innovation utilization. In result of imposition above criteria these model presents eight different variations of innovation policies. The most common innovation policy utilized in Polish industrial enterprises is individual innovator. This means that innovations were created in continuous manner, based on own resources and for own use. The test sample covered years 2007-2009 and 2012-2014. Surveys were conducted on group of medium and large Polish enterprises belonging to low-, medium- and high-tech industries. Each phase of research was based on the same methodology. From first stage 80 responses were obtained and from the second one 92.
The use of space information technologies (GIS) will optimize production through sustainable use of natural (land) resources, environmental protection and control of agricultural operations. Space information technologies are the basis for resource saving and ecological organic agriculture. The necessity of environmental monitoring to improve agricultural production using space information technologies of agricultural lands is defined. The values of GIS implementation are calculated. The main advantages provided by them are determined.
