Výrobní systémy 4.0 - využití potenciálu metod štíhlé a agilní výroby v podmínkách Průmyslu 4.0

Abstract

The current fourth industrial revolution called Industry 4.0 significantly influences enterprises, their management and markets they operate at. It brings automation and digitalization technologies aiming to enable mass personalisation and customization of companies’ products without increase of manufacturing costs. This system standing on interconnected smart devices by internet, robots and other cyber-physical systems creates a base for new level of enterprise operational excellence.

So far enterprises have aimed to achieve the operational excellence mainly through implementation of concrete management practises. One of the most used management practise is process management and its methodology of Lean and Agile Manufacturing. The question is if Industry 4.0 would mean the end of utilization of these approaches because it will fully substitute them, or it will cause an evolution of the approaches, or they are seperated from each other although there is a relation between them but they will be functioning separately without a risk of the end of one of them.

This dissertation thesis aims to map the relation between Industry 4.0 and process management (Lean and Agile Manufacturing) including positioning them into a context of modern trends of circular economy and Industry 5.0. It is followed by creation of universal methodology of readiness evaluation for Industry 4.0 implementation based mainly on the relation between Industry 4.0 and process management (Lean and Agile Manufacturing). The last chapters contain a proposal and evaluation of Industry 4.0 implementation strategies based on achieved readiness score according to the readiness evaluation methodology.
