Lean Production is widely recognized and accepted in the industrial setting. It concerns the strict integration of humans in the manufacturing process, a continuous improvement and focus on value-adding activities by avoiding waste. However, a new paradigm called Industry 4.0 or the fourth industrial revolution has recently emerged in the manufacturing sector. It allows creating a smart network of machines, products, components, properties, individuals and ICT systems in the entire value chain to have an intelligent factory. So, now a question arises if, and how these two approaches can coexist and support each other.
1
Industry 4.0 enables intelligent factories through interconnected machines, products, components, people, properties, and ICT systems across the entire value chain.
2
Lean Production emphasizes human integration, continuous improvement, value-adding activities, and waste reduction in manufacturing.
3
The central issue is the relationship between established lean principles and the emerging paradigm of digitally networked manufacturing.
4
The paper examines whether and how Lean Production and Industry 4.0 can coexist and mutually support each other.
