In recent years many factors have led to the need to change the approach to management of the modern metallurgical enterprise. The most important of these are the increasing differences between the dynamics of the development of metallurgical companies in the European Union countries and countries known as developing countries (e.g. China, India, etc.). In addition, the recent economic crisis has shown that corporate governance philosophy based primarily on financial ratios is insufficient and does not ensure its long-term existence in the market and future development. So new concepts are sought, which aim at dynamic growth of the competitiveness of European companies. One of the new propositions is the concept of the industry 4.0, which primarily uses web development, technical progress, and is based in a sense on the cooperation of various enterprise which build production networks.The paper outlines the main assumptions of the Industry 4.0 concept for metallurgical companies and identifies new challenges in the management of a metallurgical enterprise in line with the industry 4.0. The main goal of the article is to present a new solution called a management map of the Industry 4.0, which makes changes in the company much easier and more effective conducted and prepared them for the practical application of the Industry 4.0 concept.
