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.
