Digital transformation of production processes

Digitalizacija, a time i digitalna transformacija pojmovi su koji su vrlo rašireni u poduzećima i imaju ogroman utjecaj na znanost. Kao dodatna podrška tehnološkoj transformaciji imaju i izuzetno dobro iskazane metodologije vitkog upravljanja. Industrija 4.0 pokrenuta je kao inicijativa u Njemačkoj, ali ubrzo se raširila pod drugim pojmom i po cijelome svijetu. Sva konkurentna poduzeća ciljaju napraviti apsolutnu digitalnu transformaciju zato što su prepoznala njihov značajan utjecaj i novootkrivene kanale stvaranja vrijednosti. Ovim radom, dan je pregled pojmova industrije 4.0, digitalnih tehnologija, digitalne transformacije te se prelazi na praktični dio rada u poduzeću. Praktični dio rada uočava problematiku jednog dijela procesa, analizira ga i zatim poboljšava. Postavljena je hipoteza koja će se potvrditi ili odbaciti. Nakon provedbe digitalizacije postojećeg procesa, zaključena je ušteda, izračunata na godišnjoj razini i predstavljen je model poslovnih metodologija korišten u praktičnom radu.Terminology such as digitalization and digital transformation are widely spread and have huge impact in science as in companies. Furthermore, lean management methodology has proven to be an excellent support for technological transformation. Industry 4.0 has begun as an initiative in Germany but not long before it had spread across the globe. All busineness that remained competitive have undergone digital transformation already because they have realized its huge impact on business and discovered new ways of value added activities. The thesis describes first the concepts of industry 4.0, digital technologies, digital transformation before moving onto the practical part. The practical part of the work identifies the problems of exsisting part of the process, analyzes it and then improves it. A hypothesis has been put forward that will either be confirmed or rejected. After the digitalization of the existing process, savings were calculated on an annual basis and a model of business methodologies used in practical work is presented
