Background: Along with the development of Industry 4.0, the concept of Logistics 4.0 is also developing in parallel. Some researchers emphasize that the fourth industrial revolution in the area of logistics concerns in particular warehouse services. New technologies related to automatic data identification and autonomous vehicles are increasingly appearing in warehouse processes. In particular, the implementation of autonomous vehicles in processes carried out so far by people generates significant challenges related to the proper preparation of the entire system, but also its coordination with processes carried out in the enterprise. The aim of the article is to present the results of the analysis of disturbances occurring in the first stage of the implementation of autonomous vehicles in the process of feeding material production lines in a surveyed company from the automotive industry. Methods: The article presents the implementation assumptions for the use of autonomous robots in the process of materials feeding. The scope of the required safety analyzes was presented as well as the time measurements carried out regarding the implementation of the process of servicing power supplies for assembly lines. The research used direct observations in the assessed enterprise and unstructured interviews with persons responsible for the implementation. Results: The results show the deviations from the adopted assumptions, both in the area of vehicle safety and the deviations in the time of material supply operations. It is worth noting that both positive and negative deviations from the adopted standard were recorded in the measurements. Based on the analyzes of the causes and effects of the deviations, guidelines have been developed for the changes to the functioning of autonomous vehicles. Conclusions: The results of the presented research allowed to identify potential adverse events that may occur in the process of implementing autonomous solutions in logistics service processes. The basic rules for the implementation of autonomous solutions in logistic operations, which are carried out in anthropotechnical systems, were also indicated.

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie procesu wdrożenia biura zarządzania projektami IT w dużych przedsiębiorstwach posiadających funkcje logistyczne, opisanie sytuacji przed wdrożeniem i po wdrożeniu, zidentyfikowanie dobrych praktyk dla menedżerów oraz wyznaczenie kierunków przyszłych badań. Badanie studium przypadku zostało przeprowadzone w dwóch przedsiębiorstwach funkcjonujących w Polsce centralnej. Procedura zbierania danych obejmowała: obserwację uczestniczącą, wywiad nieustrukturyzowany oraz analizę dokumentów. Pierwsze przedsiębiorstwo wdrożyło biuro zarządzania projektami IT jako narzędzie niezbędne do usprawnienia funkcjonowania istniejącego systemu ERP oraz w drugim etapie jako wsparcie migracji do nowego, bardziej zaawansowanego systemu ERP. Drugie przedsiębiorstwo rozpoczęło definiowanie oraz wdrażanie biura zarządzania projektami IT jako środka do zarządzania koegzystencją dwóch systemów zarządzania gospodarką magazynową. Dwa systemy magazynowe powinny zostać w dłuższym okresie porównane w zakresie elastyczności oraz czasu odpowiedzi na dynamiczne zmiany zachodzące w środowisku retail. Artykuł przedstawia wyniki pochodzące jedynie z badań przeprowadzonych w dwóch przedsiębiorstwach i prezentowane rezultaty nie powinny być traktowane jako reprezentatywne dla wszystkich dużych przedsiębiorstw realizujących procesy logistyczne. W celu dokonania uogólnienia rezultatów dla przedsiębiorstw w Polsce wymagane jest przeprowadzenie kolejnych badań. Artykuł wzmacnia połączenie między praktyką a literaturą naukową przez dostarczenie empirycznych dowodów funkcjonowania biura zarządzania projektami IT w przedsiębiorstwach deklarujących potrzebę rozwoju funkcji logistycznych, identyfikuje dobre praktyki dotyczące zarządzania zmianami funkcjonalności oraz projektami IT oraz wskazuje zagadnienia, które mogą stanowić podstawę do dalszych badań.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the implementation of IT project management office within big companies with logistics organizations, describe situations before and after implementation, identify best practices for managers and indicate directions of further research. A case study method was used, with two companies selected and operating in central Poland. The procedure of data gathering included: participative observation, not structured interview and analysis of documents. The first company has implemented IT project management office as a tool necessary to improve existing ERP system and prepare organization for the future migration to the new, more advanced ERP software. Second company started the journey of defining and implementing IT project management office as a way to manage coexistence of two warehouse management software’s solutions. Two warehouse management software’s were to be compared in terms of flexibility and time of response to changes of dynamic retail environment. This paper studied just two companies and it is not intended to be representative of outcomes at all companies implementing IT project management office within the logistics organizations. Further studies are required for a more generalized picture of IT project management office implementations in companies localizes in Poland. This paper strengthens the link between practitioner and academic literature by providing empirical evidence of the presence of IT project management office within companies declaring necessity of development in logistics areas. In the paper best practices concerning management of changes and projects in IT are presented and no-tions that could be used for further research are indicated.

The main purpose of this article is to develop a method that allows for an objective quality assessment of imperfect knowledge, which is necessary for decision-making in logistics. The methodology aimed at achieving this goal is established on the system analysis of the entire process employed for obtaining, processing and using data and information as well as the knowledge generated on this basis. The result of this work is a general framework that can be used for managerial decision-making in smart systems that are part of Industry 4.0, and, in particular, Logistics 4.0. A key theoretical contribution of this framework is the concept for quantitative assessment of the maturity of imperfect knowledge acquired from Big Data. The practical implication of this concept is the possibility to use the framework for the assessment of the acceptable risk associated with a managerial decision. For this purpose, the article presents a brief example of how to use this methodology in the risk-taking decision-making process. Finally, the summary and discussion of the results are offered.
