Abstract

The research within project Innovative Smart Enterprise (INSENT) was conducted in order to improve scientific understanding of the current state of Croatian manufacturing industry by promoting empirical, enterprise-level research on technological and non-technological processes and organizational innovation. The aim was to understand how manufacturing enterprises in Croatia acquire new manufacturing technologies, ICT integration within processes, new organizational concepts in production such as group work or relocation of production, new products that emerge from process and organizational innovation such as production-related services, and other demands related to Industry 4.0. In order to develop Croatian model of Innovative Smart Enterprise (HR-ISE model), analysis of global and local enterprises, based on literature review and questionnaires, has been made. A selection of six basic Lean tools is made, and foundations of generic configuration of HR-ISE model are defined. In further research, interviews with CEOs of leading Croatian manufacturing enterprises should help creating completely defined HR-ISE model.
