AGILE PRODUCTION AND ITS EFFECTS ON MAINTENANCE, SAFETY AND QUALITY

U ovome članku, pored odgovora na pitanja što je to agilna proizvodnja, tj. što su to fleksibilni proizvodni sustavi, koliko se agilna proizvodnja razlikuje od masovne proizvodnje, poseban osvrt dan je na prednosti agilne proizvodnje sa stajališta sigurnosti na radu, pouzdanosti i kvalitete proizvoda. Također, posebno težište je stavljeno na obveze i ciljeve funkcije održavanja u korelaciji s već spomenutom sigurnošću, pouzdanošću i kvalitetom.The paper defines agile production, i.e. describes what flexible productions systems are, how different agile production is from mass production, and with a special focus on the merits of agile production from the point of view of occupational safety, reliability and quality of products.

PRACTICES IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION IN SOUTH EAST EUROPE AND RUSSIA

The REBUS project emerged in countries where the younger generations are reluctant to engage in private business and entrepreneurship, preferring "safe" employment at the public (state owned) enterprises. Their awareness of own entrepreneurship potentials is very low, while the capacity of talented and skilled students often stays unutilized once being employed. Thus the REBUS project supports embedding entrepreneurship to the South East Europe and Russian universities, at the same time creating network for cooperation between EU and partner countries. One of the first activities was identification, analysis and description of common practices in entrepreneurship education. For this purpose, a comprehensive desk research was combined with expert interviews to inquire about approaches of learning and teaching, connections to lessons, courses and extracurricular activities and approaches to validate entrepreneurial competences. The stocktaking related to the knowledge and differentiation on entrepreneurial competences, leading questions of the surveys related to gaps between formalised (HE) and informal (personal oriented, e.g. in internships) learning and assessment, potentials for enhancements of acquisition of those competences, validation of entrepreneurial competences and selection of key sub-competences. This paper presents results of research and needs analysis (stocktaking) and project objectives and first results
