In the article, the significance and essence of management of intelligent manufacturing in

the era of the fourth industrial revolution has been presented. The current revolution has

a large impact on the operation of the company. Through the changes resulting from the

application of modern technologies, production processes are also undergoing revolutions,

which results in changes in such indicators of business development. Management of intelligent

manufacturing is also a challenge for socially responsible activities; due to solutions of

Industry 4.0, enterprises directly and indirectly influence environmental protection, which

results in benefits for all mankind. In the article, the analysis and assessment of management

of intelligent manufacturing, using modern technologies during the production process,

has been carried out, with particular emphasis on the components of management such as:

monitoring, control, autonomy, optimization. Moreover, the impact of the above components

of management on changes in the following indicators (KPI – Key Performance Indictors)

has been evaluated, i.e. (1) quality, (2) rapidity of the production process implementation,

(3) performance and (4) productivity, (5) decrease in waste generated during the technological

process and (6) amount of consumed electricity. For the purposes of conducting the

research, a case study has been used, developed due to the information shared by the company

manufacturing machinery and equipment for the polymer processing industry, in which

intelligent solutions of Industry 4.0 are being applied. The presented article is a significant

contribution to the current development of knowledge in the field of implementing Industry

4.0 solutions for polymer processing. The article is a combination of theoretical and practical

knowledge in the field of management and practical industrial applications. It refers to the

most current research trends.
