Lean has become a widely spread approach to gain high efficient processes in enterprises. Nowadays, Industrie 4.0 is one of the most promising approach to cope future challenges in the production environment. It is shown, that a process orientated organization and thus, Lean Production Systems might be an enabler towards a successful and sustainable implementation of Industrie 4.0 in the production environment. To enable a detailed analysis of interdependencies between Lean Production Systems (LPS) and Industrie 4.0, several Industrie 4.0 elements have been structured into technologies, systems and process related characteristics, based on 260 use cases of applied Industrie 4.0 technologies in the German industry. Afterwards, the use cases have been analyzed regarding interdependencies between Industrie 4.0 and principles of Lean Production Systems.
