“…They also figured out that, in the digital, narrowly specialized and advanced globalized era, the meaningfulness of value-creating activities is important for the future of business. Currently, the companies consider the meaningfulness of work and communication as the most important values of people management [48][49][50]. The research results presented in the papers of those authors, and in our paper in a similar way, describe the value profiling of companies operating in Slovakia and the values the companies consider crucial for the success of their business in the Industry 4.0 era.…”

Many studies have found that the most significant job structure changes in the Slovak business environment can be expected in production and logistics. The biggest manpower shortages are in the fields of mechanical engineering, production, construction, information sciences and communication technologies, and medical sciences. The smallest manpower shortage can be found in the humanities and social science areas. The main objective of this research was to assess the trends within the Slovak labor market from the perspective of the companies that participated in a survey focused on their assumptions on job structure changes in the context of the implementation of the elements of Industry 4.0. The estimation was based on a questionnaire conducted during the spring months of 2020 with the participation of 175 companies and institutions. The results showed that one third of companies anticipate job cuts in the implementation of smart industry. Along with the job position disposal and the qualified staffs’ need for new jobs, the demands of employers regarding the level of education are growing. On the other hand, three quarters of companies are not only willing but also ready to participate in human resource vocational training and requalification focused mainly on technical skills.

Industry 4.0 has been creating new jobs for several years, and people are already being employed in work positions that did not exist ten years ago. Due to the speed and complexity of the changes brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it will be necessary to respond adequately and flexibly to this challenge. This research paper is devoted to the issue of Industry 4.0 outbreak into industrial enterprises, while the issue of job structure will become an increasingly urgent one. The main objective of this problem-oriented quantitative type of research is based on the analysis of the state and course of Industry 4.0 implementation process to estimate the impact of Industry 4.0 concept implementation on job creation in small and medium-sized enterprises and family businesses in Slovak Republic. A questionnaire survey in small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovak Republic was chosen as the fundamental research method. The results have shown that new technologies will increasingly displace physical labor in particular, and emerging jobs will put ever-increasing demands on human intellect. The conclusions from our findings can be the basis for the creation of educational programs not only within the workplace but also in the educational system in Slovak Republic.

“…In the field of logistics, many quantitative models have been established to explore the complexity of the supply chain [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Some quantitative methods have been employed for the assessment of the operational capacity and efficiency of 3PL with the purpose of selecting the reliable suppliers as cooperative partners and providing strategic basis for defining the policy [1,5,13,22,23].…”

In the past decades, despite considerable attention having been paid to third-party logistics (3PL) owing to its specialized service, sophisticated operation, and reduced cost, research on quantitative methods for estimating the efficiency of 3PL companies is still lacking, especially for those with small or medium scale. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish a quantitative evaluation method to measure the efficiency of the individual nongovernmental 3PL firms and explore the valuable information for the management of 3PL business with Apriori and K-means. Taking TopChains (an emerging nongovernmental 3PL company) as an example, the monthly supply and demand (S&D) level and matching degree were evaluated via the integrating data mining algorithm (i.e., Apriori and K-means) and TOPSIS entropy weight method based on historical data. The findings demonstrate that the S&D level varied with time and space, and the customer demand in February tended to reduce substantially. Besides, the outcome of S&D matching degree in June is undesirable, indicating the unsatisfactory efficiency in resource management. The evaluation maneuver stated in this study can serve as a valuable tool to measure individual nongovernmental 3PL enterprises’ efficiency in terms of S&D, and for reference, the results can aid in rational enterprise investment plan. Besides, this attempt broadened the direction of ARM and K-means being applied in the logistics field.
