The members of the program were actively participated in the design and building of a completely new modern factory for the production of robots YER - Yaskawa Europe Robotics in Kočevje. In this way, we have successfully transferred our own developed knowledge in the field of modern technologies I4.0 and Smart factories to the real industrial environment. As part of the development project, we organized several workshops on theme I4.0, Smart factories and introduction of LEAN and digital LEAN in production processes. We have developed an optimal layout for the factory and the optimal location of machines and equipment. We have developed and defined the appropriate technology that we introduced into the production process. The development of the factory took place according to the I4.0 guidelines and the building of Smart factories. We used the i3 approach - integration, innovation, intelligence.

Section of Operations Research substantially contribute to visibility of slovenian OR research, and also contribute to better quality of the series of conferences SOR (Symposium on Operations Research, 13th conference to be held later this year). I am also involved in organization of these conferences for years, several times as a cochair of program committee. In addition, I served as coeditor of special issues of Discussiones Math. Graph Theory, Theoretical Computer Science, Business Systems Research Journal (3x) and a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Springer). I am also a member of editorial boards of three scientific journals.
