Optimization of Industrial Performance by Lean 4.0

Abstract: Lean is one of the older but also still urgent topics in manufacturing. Remember when Lean principles were the one and only way for improving manufacturing products and production sector, many industries are struggling to compete with the manufacturing sector emerging in different countries around the world by using lean manufacturing tools, but moments are changing. As operations have become capacity for innovation, flexible and more complex, manufacturers are finding that Lean methods solely are not enough to achieve certified operational excellence.so; Industry 4.0 is one of the hot topics of current manufacturing sectors although some (myself included) say that it is overrated. Manufacturers seeking to effectives their operations need to understand the interaction between traditional lean manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Several studies of operational excellence programs in recent years have seen industries generate valuable synergies by implementing lean 4.0 holistically, instead of sequentially or independently. By conveying the right combination of advancements technologies, manufacturers can boost coordination; speed and efficiency both approaches have the same goal, which is operational excellence. This paper investigates that how can optimize industrial performance by lean manufacturing and industry 4.0. Also, issues occurring with design a road map to implement industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing holistically, instead of sequentially or independently and how Industry 4.0 can support the improvement of the specific lean methods
