The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) means the ubiquitous digitization of economic processes using more economical and efficient production technologies. Orientation to productivity, flexibility and low production costs results in a slow process of dehumanization of industry and concentration only on implementing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) digital technologies. A natural consequence of this trend is the concern of governments, employees and communities about new challenges and the importance of man in the economic ecosystem. The hope is the emergence of a new industry concept suggested by the European Commission (EU), which expands the components of the existing I4.0 concept to include human-centric, environmental and resilience aspects. Industry 5.0 (I5.0) is an excellent alternative to the development of today's digital and dehumanized world. The article aims to identify the key research areas related to the formation of the role of the human being and the safe work environment in implementing the I5.0 concept. The article analyzes the research areas related to implementing the I5.0 concept based on a systematic review of the literature indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Identifies key issues related to the role of humans in the I5.0 environment. In addition, the priority directions for developing the identified research areas and their impact on forming a safe work environment are determined based on the knowledge of experts with experience in implementing digital technologies of the 4IR.

Energy efficiency and behavioural changes are among the key pillars of decarbonization of the global energy system. Residential sector is responsible for a large share of fossil fuels final consumption, therefore the growth of its energy efficiency can bring a valuable impact on decarbonization speed and scale. In countries with growing economies residential energy consumption can increase dramatically due to the desire of the population to improve their standard of living, therefore striking a balance between economic growth and energy efficiency improvement is a complex policy challenge. The purpose of this study is to analyze attitudes and assess barriers of energy efficient behavior in Republic of Armenia as a country with growing economy and standards of living. The paper contributes to the literature by providing new empirical evidence of consumers’ attitude toward different forms of energy efficient behavior in Armenia and reveals how general pro-environmental consciousness and social conditions influence on it. The results of the study prove that the level of general environmental consciousness of the population has a direct impact on the frequency of practical application of various patterns of energy-efficient behavior. As a policy application for emerging economies, our study proposes that the main direction of energy efficiency policy can be education of the population and raising its level of environmental self-awareness.

Sustainable development has caused companies to try to adapt their activities to changing customer expectations, but also to climate change. This poses a particular challenge for SMEs from developing countries. Therefore, the objective of the investigation was to analyse the qualitative-environmental aspects of the improvement of the products in SMEs from the countries of the Visegrad Group (V4). The results analysed constituted a research sample of 379 companies in the electrical machinery industry (machine processing industry), which were obtained in the period from March to September 2023 through a targeted survey. The area of analysis included, e.g.: (i) environmental issues of selected areas of activity, (ii) measures of environmental activity, and (iii) selected qualitative-environmental aspects. Analyses of the research results were carried out using quantitative and qualitative analyses, including comparative analyses, e.g. regarding the implementation status of ISO 14001, EMAS, and ISO 9001. These techniques were used: word cloud, ANOVA test and Mann Whitney U test at the significance level of α=0.05. It has been shown that SMEs in V4 countries focus their activities on improving products to improve their quality rather than limiting their negative environmental impact. Originality of the research is the identification of significant differences in the qualitative-environmental aspects undertaken when SMEs from V4 countries. Research results may contribute to the development activities more effective and coherent in the V4 countries, to achieve a stable and competitive advantage on the market as part of the qualitative and environmental improvement of the products. The research results and the conclusions drawn from them can be used by scientists and practitioners to shape the target states of enterprises in the period of increasing involvement in proecological ideas.

The 1.4306 austenite stainless steel has been prominently utilized as a material in the automotive and aerospace industry. Considerable interest has been garnered in the machinability of stainless steel owing to its high strength and poor thermal conductivity. The aim of this study is to ascertain the influential cutting parameters, specifically the cutting speed and feed rate, on cut-ting forces, cutting temperature, and chip evaluation. Thus, austenite stainless steel was subjected to free-cutting using a carbide recessing tool under dry conditions. The principle of measuring cutting temperature, a complex procedure due to varying thermal homogeneity, was elucidated. For the turning experiments in question, the standard Taguchi orthogonal array L9 (32), featuring two factors and three levels, was employed. The experimental results were analyzed using MiniTab 17 software. The findings reveal a substantial effect of feed rate on cutting force, cutting temperature, and chip evaluation. The highest cutting force and cutting temperature were observed at a feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev. Conversely, the cutting force was minimized at a cutting speed of 100 m/min, indicating potential for increasing the cutting speed. The augmentation of feed rate led to chip compression and discoloration, attributed to elevated cutting force and a larger chip cross-section that efficiently dissipates heat from the cutting zone.

The research problem revolves around an attempt to answer the questions: “Are enterprises from the SME sector interested in implementing strategic management accounting instruments, including Kaizen Costing? Is Kaizen Costing more widely used in SMEs operating in Poland?" The aim of the article is therefore to highlight the importance of Kaizen and Kaizen Costing and to draw attention to how much support these solutions can be for SMEs in the current social, economic, and environmental conditions. The article presents the results of surveys conducted in this regard. The accomplishment of the established objective of the work required conducting a review of the literature on the subject and presenting conclusions from previous own research in the above respect. The method of participant observation, critical analysis and synthesis was used in the study. According to the research results, there is little interest in these instruments in large enterprises, however, in medium-sized enterprises, the interest and degree of application of Kaizen and Kaizen Costing is negligible. The research results indicate the need for further development and broadening the dialogue on the usability and benefits which enterprises, in particular SMEs, may derive from the introduction of such innovative solutions.

The paper aims to show the possibilities of using modern information technologies in production management. Successive stages of production process preparation and implementation are characterized. Information technologies that are currently being implemented in manufacturing enterprises are discussed. The focus was on the part of the process related to the product's manufacture. The paper presents the concepts of two methodological approaches to the adoption of modern information technologies: the top-down approach and the bottom-up approach. The successive stages of each of these approaches are discussed. The advantage of the top-down approach is the ability to comprehensively implement various technologies, and the disadvantage is the significant level of resource commitment. The advantage of the bottom-up approach is the high efficiency of the proposed solution, and the disadvantage is the limitation of application to projects of limited size. The proposed approaches have been verified using the example of two companies: the automotive and the control automation industries. There are correlations between the choice of the methodology used and the type and extent of implementation of the technology in question. The study's key conclusion is that both approaches are applicable in practice. The most important thing in the decision-making phase is to identify the barriers and constraints related to the organization's maturity to use a given technology. Enterprises can use the study results to help them prepare for their digital transformation.

Workplace design is an essential process for the manufacturing industry to realize a low manufacturing cost with high productivity and competitive advantage, as well as high employee performance and well-being. Although research on workplace design in the Indonesian manufacturing industry began more than 20 years ago, workplace conditions in the manufacturing industry, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia, have remained subpar, with high material handling costs. This review article aims to evaluate recent research on workplace design in the Indonesian manufacturing SMEs and explore possible directions for further research. The results of this review indicate that the research on workplace design in Indonesian manufacturing SMEs is mostly focused on the department area (micro-level), using systematic layout planning methods to improve material handling activities. Even though environmental conditions are unfavorable with low levels of occupational safety and health, research that consider these two in the process of designing workplace in Indonesian manufacturing SMEs is still limited. This review also shows the possibility of developing an integrated workplace design by involving environmental ergonomics and occupational safety and health in manufacturing SMEs.

The European Union's energy policy has necessitated a reduction in coal mining, with significant consequences for occupational safety within the industry. This study investigates the correlation between employment reduction and accident risk within Poland's mining sector during 2006-2020, a period marked by over a 40% decrease in coal extraction and a corresponding 30% decrease in mining employment. An escalation in the relative risk (RR) of accidents was observed, increasing from 1.28 to 2.33. More critically, the RR of fatal accidents rose from 2.54 to 8.22 by 2019. Analysis revealed a critical employment threshold: a fall in mining employment below 140,000 is associated with a marked increase in accident risk, particularly fatal accidents. A linear model was developed to suggest that a reduction in the RR of accidents to 0.7 is requisite to achieve a national average risk for fatal accidents (RR = 1). The findings advocate for targeted safety interventions and propose a preventive strategy model. The implications are vital for policymakers and industry stakeholders aiming to improve worker safety in response to employment changes within the mining sector.

This study investigated the multifaceted relationship between resilience engineering practices, work motivation factors, health, safety, and environment (HSE) management to achieve employee productivity within a mining company in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Employing structural equation modelling (SEM) on data from 178 workers, intriguing results are diverged from established research. While resilience engineering practices and work motivation factors significantly enhanced productivity, robust HSE management demonstrated a surprisingly insignificant association. This unexpected finding necessitates a closer examination of the unique context of Indonesian mining culture and HSE implementation practices. Several potential explanations emerge, including ingrained communal responsibility for safety, limited applicability of imported frameworks, prioritisation of immediate needs over long-term safety due to competitive pressures, and possible erosion of trust in bureaucratic systems. These factors highlight the need to consider cultural nuances and industry challenges when designing effective HSE interventions. Moving forward, research and practice must prioritise developing culturally sensitive HSE practices, fostering trust and employee engagement, bridging the gap between formal systems and daily realities, and gathering qualitative data to understand employee perspectives. By addressing these considerations, future interventions can effectively align HSE efforts with employee productivity, contributing to a safer, more productive, culturally relevant work environment for Indonesian miners.
