The Wielkopolska Windmill Trail is a new product of industrial tourism. It has been established in order to protect historical mills and to make the regions more attractive in terms of tourism. It is the largest windmill trail in Europe. The study aims at checking the level of knowledge of the population in the Poznań area about this route and determining the level of their interest in historical mills, and, in consequence, the forecast of its development. Based on the questionnaire survey performed among people of the Poznań area in April of 2013, there is a clear interest in the mechanisms of operation of historical mills, which demonstrates an increase of popularity of industrial tourism. Nevertheless, the level of knowledge about the route is very low. Promotional elements to disseminate knowledge about the route are missing – things such as: guidebooks, tourist leaflets, or information boards. Further development is subject mainly to the popularity of the route and publicity among potential tourists. Knowledge disseminated in the form of lectures, cultural events, but mainly folders and guidebooks, is a key to success.

Historical windmills, their history and traditions related to the profession of millers, account for a significant element of the cultural heritage of Wielkopolska. Establishment of the Wielkopolska Windmill Trail is correlated to the protection of wooden mills and aims at protecting the memory of an abundant rural history. The several hundred years of traditional milling history is simultaneously a rich source of folktales and legends, as well as, the craftsmanship of carpentry and the development of technique. The Wielkopolska Windmill Trail, as presented herein, shows the new role historical facilities play in modern society. Some mills on the route are actually ruins which clearly show that it is just the beginning of a long and winding road leading to the ultimate objective, i.e. the protection of cultural heritage. It should be noted that at some point in history, Wielkopolska used to be referred to as a “land of mills” and was a milling district in Europe. Industrial tourism evokes an increasing interest. Thus, former windmills contribute to the development of tourist infrastructure, and they make a given region more attractive. Ruins of mills, however, need the tourists’ interest to survive and to retain their heritage. The local residents, on the other hand, need the tourists’ interest in their region to improve their living standards. Therefore, the Wielkopolska Windmill Trail may turn out to be the key to solving the problem of the deteriorating monuments of the grain processing industry. There is hope for a new life for these mills, whose wings have been worn down mercilessly by time, where they start rotating in the sky again.

The success of economic organizations depends on searching for new ways of maintaining and increasing competitive advantage. This is particularly true for the food industry and, in particular, the organic food processing sector, where consumers expect highquality foods containing macronutrients and micronutrients that are essential for the proper functioning of the human body. With this in mind, managers relatively often use sophisticated tools and technologies to solve problems in these business entities rather than using existing and verified tools and technologies. This concerns especially the solutions which are based on the assumptions of common sense, such as the 5S method. In this context, it was considered appropriate to try to implement the 5S principles in the laboratory of a company producing organic flour. The case study method was employed to analyse the possibility of implementation of 5S in the laboratory. The empirical examinations were based on open observation, and free-form interviews with managers and laboratory workers. The available recorded materials were used. Using the analysis of the collected information, an attempt was made to show the prerequisites and opportunities for the implementation of 5S.

Sukces organizacji gospodarczych wiąże się z poszukiwaniem przez nie nowych sposobów utrzymania i zwiększania przewagi konkurencyjnej. Szczególnie dotyczy to branży spożywczej, a zwłaszcza sektora ekoprzetwórstwa żywności, którego klienci oczekują żywności wysokiej klasy, zawierającej makro- i mikroelementy niezbędne do prawidłowego funkcjonowania organizmu człowieka. Mając to na względzie, menedżerowie do rozwiązywania problemów pojawiających w zarządzanych przez nich jednostkach gospodarczych często wykorzystują wyszukane narzędzia i technologie, zamiast posługiwać się tymi już dostępnymi i zweryfikowanymi. Chodzi zwłaszcza o rozwiązania bazujące na założeniach zdrowego rozsądku, takich jak m.in. praktyka 5S. W tym kontekście uznano za zasadną próbę wdrożenia metody 5S w laboratorium przedsiębiorstwa produkującego ekomąki. W badaniach empirycznych prowadzonych metodą case study posiłkowano się obserwacją jawną oraz swobodnymi wywiadami z kierownictwem i laborantami. Skorzystano z udostępnionych materiałów ewidencyjnych. Na podstawie analizy zebranych informacji ukazano przesłanki i możliwości wdrożenia 5S.
