Abstract

Dynamic technological changes and the variability of market requirements pose significant challenges for modern manufacturing companies in the effective development and implementation of new technological solutions. The aim of the research was to develop an integrated approach covering all key stages of implementation—from formulating technological solutions, through selecting and evaluating variants, to preparing and managing production processes—under the conditions of a medium-sized manufacturing company specializing in the batch production of steel constructions. The analysis was based on an interdisciplinary approach, combining methods of creative design of new technological solutions, including Blue Ocean Strategy, value proposition design, and QFD methodology, with analytical approaches that include multi-criteria evaluation of solution variants, technical preparation of production, as well as the organization and management of production processes in modified organizational conditions. This approach enabled a comprehensive assessment of the developed solutions, taking into account both their operational potential and practical feasibility in realistic implementation conditions, through the use of case studies and simulations to validate the results. The results of the research indicate that integrating methods for creating new solutions with analytical assessment and simulation tools leads to a more precise and data-driven approach to process design, enabling better decision-making based on thorough analysis and predictive modeling. Furthermore, this approach allows for a significant reduction in the risk of implementation failure through early identification of potential problems. The conclusion of the study confirms that a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the implementation of new technologies ensures better alignment with customer demands, reduces production downtime, and enhances product optimization and resource utilization, which are critical factors in building a sustainable competitive advantage for manufacturing companies. The proposed approach enables more deliberate design and organization of manufacturing processes, supporting their flexible adaptation to changing market and technological conditions.
