Sažetak
The first three industrial revolutions came about as a result of mechanization, electricity and IT. Therefore, the introduction of the Internet of Things and Services into the manufacturing environment is starting a fourth industrial revolution: Industry 4.0. This new type of industry is based on the Smart Factory model. Smart Factories allow individual customer requirements to be met and mean that even one-off items can be manufactured profitably. In Industry 4.0, dynamic business and engineering processes enable last-minute changes to production and deliver the ability to respond flexibly. However, the question is how much of this is close to the reality, or, on the other hand, how far away are enterprises from this new industrial platform? The Project Innovative Smart Enterprise wants to improve the scientific understanding of an average Croatian manufacturing enterprise, by promoting empirical, enterprise-level research on technological and non-technological process and organizational innovation. It will help develop a regional model of innovative smart enterprise based, not just on the State-of-the-art theoretical models, but also on the State-of-the- art practical models like the Lean Management philosophy from the Toyota Production System. Special efforts will be made to bridge the cultural and mentality gap between Croatian and EU manufacturing enterprises. In order to enable the development of the Croatian model of Innovative Smart Enterprise, it was mandatory to analyse the current state of the Croatian manufacturing industry. For the evaluation of the industrial maturity level a questionnaire covering nine different aspects was designed (for instance: design, technology, manufacturing, quality assurance, etc). The research was made using Web questionnaires and interviews with CEOs and/or technical directors of manufacturing enterprises. The analysis to describe the current state of the Croatian manufacturing enterprise was based on the responses of 161 enterprises and interviews with 28 CEO from Croatia. A synthesis of this research has been made and some suggestions for finding a path toward Industry 4.0 are given.
