Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the meaning and benefits of new Industry 4.0 (I4.0) projects for organizations future and competitiveness. The background was scholarly literary research, best practice analysis and interviews with operation managers. Qualitative research ran from 2017 to 2018 in two automotive supplier organizations, but information results from the experience of other organizations managers with implemented I4.0 strategy were also used, particularly in the area of project management, and quality engineering and management. At this stage of research, it is about finding a suitable conceptual framework for deciding on the implementation of a new project.
