AbstractCurrently we are saying that we are at the dawn of the fourth revolution, which is marked by using cyberphysical systems and the Internet of Things. This is marked as Industry 4.0 (I4.0). With Industry 4.0 is also closely linked concept Logistics 4.0. The highly dynamic and uncertain logistic markets and huge logistic networks require new methods, products and services. The concept of the Internet of Things and Services (IoT&S), Big Data/ Data Mining (DM), cloud computing, 3D printing, Blockchain and cyber physical system (CPS) etc. seem to be the probable technical solution for that. However, associated risks hamper its implementation and lack a comprehensive overview. In response, the paper proposes a framework of risks in the context of Logistics 4.0. They are here economic risks, that are associated e.g. with high or false investments. From a social perspective, risks the job losses, are considered too. Additionally, risks can be associated with technical risks, e.g. technical integration, information technology (IT)-related risks such as data security, and legal and political risks, such as for instance unsolved legal clarity in terms of data possession. It is therefore necessary to know the potential risks in the implementation process.

Logistics activities play in important role in supporting the production process for a wide range of products in many industries, such as the automotive or electrical engineering industries. In the automotive industry, they are present throughout the entire production cycle. To perform these activities, various technologies as well as economic aspects must be considered and employed. This contribution describes the technology of interior parts manufacturing for the automotive industry and specifies costs connected to the preparation and setting of machines and devices in individual workplaces as well as the cost items linked with their production and subsequent logistic activities.
