Continuous improvement (CI) is a key component of lean manufacturing (LM), which is fundamental for organizations to remain competitive in an ever more challenging market. At present, the new industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 (I4.0), is taking place in the manufacturing and service markets, allowing more intelligent and automated processes to become a reality through innovative technologies. Not much research was found regarding a holistic application of I4.0′s technological concepts towards CI, which clarifies the potential for improving its effectiveness. This clearly indicates that research is needed regarding this subject. The present publication intends to close this research gap by studying the main I4.0 technological concepts and their possible application towards a typical CI process, establishing the requirements for such an approach. Based on that study, a conceptual approach is proposed (PDCA 4.0), depicting how I4.0 technological concepts should be used for CI enhancement, while aiming to satisfy the identified requirements. By outlining the PDCA 4.0 approach, this paper contributes to increasing the knowledge available regarding the CI realm on how to support the CI shift towards a I4.0 industrial paradigm.

Industry 4.0 and lean management both focus on increasing productivity of industrial systems. Industry 4.0 is foreseen to revolutionize today’s manufacturing environment whereas lean management is an integrated techno-operational system which has gained increasing importance in recent times to bring about a competitive state in an organization. Though in the last three decades there have been rigorous studies on lean manufacturing (LM), its implementation in the Indian manufacturing domain is still in its nascent stage. A lack of research to explore the potential use of Industry 4.0 is also noted. Research work on the compatibility of Industry 4.0 with LM is scarce and any study on the role of Industry 4.0 on LM in the Indian manufacturing sector is practically unavailable. The aim of this research is to explore how the fourth industrial revolution, referred to as Industry 4.0, can strategize LM in the Indian manufacturing context. Empirical studies have disclosed that Indian managers are hesitant to go for automation and technological developments. Results of this work reveal that there needs to be a change in attitude and approach. Lean implementers in India need to embrace Industry 4.0 to pivot LM by automating through Cyber-Physical Systems and creating a flexible design and production model of customized and smart products.

Industry 4.0 is a term first introduced by the German government during the Hannover Messe fair in 2011 when it launched an initiative to support German industry in tackling future challenges. It refers to the 4th industrial revolution in which disruptive digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE), robotics, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), are impacting industrial production.The new industrial paradigms of Industry 4.0 demand a socio-technical evolution of the human role in production systems, in which all working activities of the value chain will be performed with smart approaches.However, the automation of processes can have unpredictable effects.Nowadays, in a smart factory, the role of human operators is often only to control and supervise the automated processes. This new condition of workers brought forth a paradox: malfunctions or irregularities in the automated production process are rare but challenging.This article discusses the challenges and risks that the 4th industrial revolution is bringing to society.It introduces the concept of the Irony of Automation. This propounds that the more reliable an automated system, the less human operators have to do and, consequently, the less attention they pay to the system while it is operating.The authors go on to discuss the human-centered approach to automation, whose purpose is not necessarily to automate previously manual functions but, rather, to enhance user effectiveness and reduce errors.

Abstract the philosophy of lean production, which consists of optimizing production processes, eliminating losses, improving the quality of goods and services, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement, is extremely relevant today. Also, this concept is very consonant with the latest industrial revolution - Industry 4.0 (or the Fourth Industrial Revolution), which aims to make the transition from conventional automation of production, the use of information technology in production (which were the essence of the third industrial revolution) to the network of resources, information flows, objects and people. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between lean production paradigms and Industry 4.0. Both concepts with their tools were analyzed, their influence on each other was discovered and the possibility of integrating lean production methods with technologies of Industry 4.0 was considered on the basis of enterprises of the transport industry. This article proposes to consider the concepts of "Lean Production" and "Industry 4.0" as separate areas of enterprise development, describing its advantages and disadvantages, and the search for empirical evidence of the relationship between them. The tools and methods of the concepts of Lean Production and Industry 4.0 are investigated and compared to find the main similar and different technological characteristics. The compatibility of concepts due to the similarity of goals and principles of paradigms is considered, in particular, efficient use of resources and minimization of losses, continuous improvement, and use of technologies to automate processes. The possibility of combining the advantages of each concept to create a common flexible system to increase the efficiency of transport enterprises and the transport industry as a whole was assessed.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to aim at identifying the relationships between Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and Lean Manufacturing (LM) practices. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted, in which 93 studies were analyzed according to their content and contextualization level. Findings In total, 9 I4.0 technologies and 14 LM practices were identified and categorized according to different levels of both value stream application and synergy. From the 126 pairwise relationships, 24 were classified as being of high synergy (e.g. relationship between Cyber-Physical Systems and value stream mapping), revealing the existence of a positive interaction between LPs and I4.0 technologies toward the achievement of a higher operational performance. Further, three future research opportunities were suggested: to validate the proposed synergies among LPs and I4.0 technologies; to distinguish the effects of relationships on all levels of flow; and to examine the effect of such relationships on operational performance. Originality/value With the emergence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the specificities on the relationship between LM and I4.0 still need further investigation. This paper provides a better understanding of existing literature related to I4.0, LM, and their relationship, as well as pointing out research gaps to encourage future works.

The Industry 4.0 or Fourth Industrial Revolution consists of the interaction between systems and intelligent machines through the integration of enabling technologies in the physical, digital and biological scopes, whose high-speed disruptive impact affects business, consumer habits and lifestyles. Lean manufacturing is the term that describes the Toyota Production System, with a focus on people, continuous improvement and waste reduction which objective is to reduce costs through the implementation of principles that characterize its own management model and rules, initially implemented in the industry and currently with wide application. The combination of Industry 4.0 with lean manufacturing is not yet fully understood, based on the fact that the enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 are implemented in predominantly lean production system. The relevance of the combination of Industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing was found in the literature, with a peak in publications in recent years and a significant number of citations with predominantly attention by countries with expressive economy, but with a lack of conclusive contributions. Thus, based on the data analysis obtained through the case study research method, it was possible to verify that there are contributions between industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing and vice versa, that lean manufacturing challenges and respective industry 4.0 solutions identified in the literature are adherent to the case studies and that industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing positively impact the value drivers of the companies studied
