The automotive sector is one of the key branches of the global economy. The automotive industry is also a very important sector of the Polish economy, as it generates over 8% of GDP and accounts for over 20% of the annual export value. Industry 4.0 and the effective use of modern technologies give a chance for its further dynamic development. The implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions in the business processes of automotive companies should not only take place in the area of production or logistics, as it is usually indicated, but also in their other functional areas, such as quality management, human resources management, and innovation management. The purpose of the article is to diagnose the level of maturity in the implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions in selected management areas of automotive companies operating in Poland. Using a maturity assessment tool, the authors assessed the level of maturity in six selected functional areas of an enterprise, such as production and logistics management, quality management, human resources management, social and environmental responsibility, and product innovation management. The authors also formulated conclusions and recommendations concerning actions that should be taken by automotive companies in order to achieve higher maturity levels in the implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions.

Human factor plays an important role in the implementation of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). The concept of Industry 4.0 is poorly researched, particularly the social aspect. The authors have conducted a study to determine the level of preparation of employees for the introduction of technological changes. This study involved conducting a survey on a sample of 453 employees based in four organizations within the automotive industry. The respondents were thereafter divided into groups based on age and positions held. The employees’ knowledge of the Industry 4.0 technology was examined, and their openness to change and readiness to increase competence was determined. A causal relationship was found between knowledge and trust in technology. Employees’ fears associated with production automation were discussed. A group of production workers was found to be the least prepared to implement technology changes. Actions to improve the situation and potential consequences of inadequate implementation of this technology were indicated. The findings from this study were compared with the results obtained in other countries. Special attention was paid to the limitations of this study, and we identified the necessity to conduct international comparative research on small, medium and large enterprises.

“…It is used in the construction of methodologies, tools, and procedures to improve ecoefficiency. Future work can be oriented to this technology for small companies (NADERI et al, 2019). Applying artificial intelligence, Timma, Blumberga and Blumberga (2015) created a conceptual methodology for the diffusion of eco innovation, which demands studies to be extended to other engineering problems, with combined and mixed methods.…”

Purpose - To analyze whether the concepts of industry 4.0 and circular economy are integrated or disjointed, recognizing in the literature what the keywords are most frequent in this relationship and its occurrence. Design/methodology/approach – The research method was the bibliometric study and keyword study, in order to recognize which are the most latent actions and strategies in the study of integration. The VOSviewer software was used for the study of keywords. Findings - It is stated that the concepts of industry 4.0 and circular economy can be considered interconnected, with some limitations explored in the article, and also proposed future research opportunities on the topic. Originality/value - It contributes to business managers in the sense that it facilitates the understanding that industry 4.0 and the circular economy can be worked together. The result of the keywords will guide what skills, strategies, technologies and fundamentals the company should develop to make the circular economy effective, through industry 4.0. For academic research, another study was contributed on the integration of industry 4.0 and circular economy, which are few in the literature. Keywords were also mapped, which until then, had not been developed in existing integration articles, in addition to proposing a framework that can be transformed and signal research opportunities. Keywords - Industry 4.0; Circular Economy; Integration; Sustainability; Future research.
