The introduction of digitization and the application of appropriate methodological tools make it possible to optimize key processes and information flows, increase data reliability and thus support management decision-making. This article describes the development and current trends in the management of organizations, analyses the principles of management, and approaches to maintenance management (MM), with respect to the requirements of Industry 4.0 (MM4.0). Based on this analysis, and through two research questions asked, it qualitative evaluates the effects of the nine basic pillars of Industry 4.0 on the implementation of a comprehensive approach in management systems, draws attention to the gaps of misunderstanding or non-use of appropriate tools in process management as well as in maintenance management. Finally, it presents a consideration of the development of new comprehensive management concepts integrated into a comprehensive management system in the Industry 4.0 environment, and through positive responses to RQs it creates space for further research in the field of MSI4.0 and MM4.0.
