Industry 4.0 1100-12-G12-IC-Prz4
The aim of the subject is to provide knowledge about the changes taking place in the economy in the 21st century and their impact on the modern economy and society. Industry 4.0, referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, concerns changes introduced in the organizational and technical layer and the role of digital technologies in these changes.
A special distinguishing feature of Industry 4.0 is the changes related to the widespread use of digital technologies at all stages of the operation of enterprises, starting from searching for a customer through purchasing materials for production, manufacturing a product and delivering it to the customer. Another distinction is the focus on the customer and the introduction of a personalized offer that meets the individual needs of customers. This is accompanied by the introduction of a number of new business models. A special feature of Industry 4.0 is the increasing role of people (employees) at all levels of the organization.
