This paper aims to map the current state and future expectations of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from Industry 4.0 implementation. For the given purpose, a readiness self-assessment survey method was developed and applied for groups of respondents from selected SMEs. This survey focuses on the following three main areas: smart manufacturing, smart logistics, and platform based business models. Each of these areas consists of five sub-areas for which maturity levels are defined. The novelty of the proposed maturity model lies in identifying current maturity levels, and maturity levels where companies would like to be by choosing from the options. The results of the survey showed that, of the three areas mentioned, the highest attention is paid to manufacturing areas, while digital platform business models are of the least interest to SMEs.

Purpose: The reason for writing the paper was the strong trend of development of the concept of Industry 4.0. Companies have started their journey to smart manufacturing by applying the key technologies (pillars) of Industry 4.0. A decade has passed since 2011, when the idea of Industry 4.0 emerged as a form of industrial development based on the achievements of the fourth industrial revolution. During this decade, companies have become convinced by the idea of Industry 4.0 and have embarked on projects (investments) that fit into smart manufacturing. The aim of the research was presentation of the key fields of changes in the steel company towards smart manufacturing. Design/methodology/approach: The author used a case study to achieve the research aim. The subject of the research was one of the largest steel companies, which has a strong position in the global steel market. The presented areas of change of the company fit into the scope of changes belonging to smart manufacturing. In the study, following the company's statement, it was assumed that the implemented investments will create "smarter manufacturing" no "smart manufacturing" because their number and scope does not entitle either the company itself or the author of this paper to state that the changes made already at this stage create smart manufacturing in the steel company. Findings: The result of the case study is a model – a general concept – for the introduction of smart manufacturing in an enterprise. The term model was used for popular scientific purposes, as a form of generalisation of the presented scope of changes in the studied enterprise. Research limitations: The author is aware that the company used for the research may not constitute a sufficient area of research to formulate generalisation constructs on its basis, but she points out that the article is a part of a broader research, and the presented fragment of the research was used for the purpose of popularising knowledge on changes taking place in Industry 4.0. Practical implications: The paper promotes smart manufacturing projects in the steel sector. The practical implication of the paper is a proposal for a pathway to build smart manufacturing, which has constructs that are versatile enough to be used to create company pathways in other industry sectors of the economy. Originality/value: The article is part of the very topical theme of Industry 4.0, which has already been popularised to such an extent that it has become a reality and not just a proposal (future) for industrial development under the conditions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The paper describes actual projects for building smart manufacturing in the steel company.

Purpose: Authors of the paper develop the main assumptions for project management in the Industry 4.0, and present them in the short form as basic knowledge, useful for managing smart manufacturing (SM) projects in companies. Design/methodology/approach: the process of preparing SM (smart manufacturing) projects and their implementation, in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, have been changed, due to the importance of the issue of linking more and more intelligent machines, IT-computer programs and monitored processes into integrated technological systems of key importance for the construction of cyber-physical production systems (CPS). The paper applies a conceptual analysis of possible areas of change in project management (PM) when enterprises build the smart manufacturing (SM). Findings/conclusions: companies building the smart environment must adapt their organization of project management to the new requirements and opportunities of Industry 4.0 (I 4.0) technologies. Research limitations: the narrow scope of knowledge about the ongoing changesin SM project management is due to the short period of experience (the Industry 4.0 concept has been implemented since 2011), therefore the authors have only presented the framework of changes in organization of project management. Practical implications: the authors' intention was to initiate a practical discussion about the changes in project management in the ongoing industrial revolution. Originality/value: Since 2011, when the government of the Federal Republic of Germany recognized the concept of "Industrie 4.0" as the key strategy of innovative development, Industry 4.0 has become an important discussed topic among practitioners and researchers. The fourth industrial revolution is expected to result in a leap in the efficiency of companies operating in the intelligent technological environment. Key technologies or pillars of Industry 4.0 are implemented in manufacturing enterprises to build the smart manufacturing processes. Enterprises develop new projects and make investments in order to create Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS).

Climate change, critical material shortages and environmental degradation pose an existential threat to the entire world. Immediate action is needed to transform the global economy towards a more circular economy with less intensive use of fossil energy and limited resources and more use of recyclable materials. Recyclable materials and manufacturing techniques will play a critical role in this transformation. Substantial advancements will be needed to achieve a more intelligent materials design to enhance both functionality and enhanced sustainability. The development of hybrid materials combining functionality at macro and nano scales based on organic and inorganic compounds, that are entirely recyclable could be used for tremendous applications. In this mini-review, we provide the reader with recent innovations on hybrid materials for application in water, energy and raw materials sectors. The topic is very modern and after its deep study we propose a creation an international research centre, that would combine the development of hybrid materials with green manufacturing. We have highlighted a framework that would comprise critical themes of the initial research needed. Such a centre would promote sustainable production of materials through intelligent hybridisation and eco-efficient, digital manufacturing and enable a circular economy in the long term. Such activities are strongly supported by current environmental and economical initiatives, like the Green Deal, REPower EU and digital EU initiatives.
