Salah PY - 2019/4/ TI - Smart Lean Manufacturing in the Context of Industry 4.0: A Case Study T2 - International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering SP - 173 EP - 181 VL - 13 SN - 1307-6892 UR - https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10010107 PU - World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology NX - Open Science Index 147, 2019 N2 - This paper introduces a framework to digitalize lean manufacturing tools to enhance smart lean-based manufacturing environments or Lean 4.0 manufacturing systems. The paper discusses the integration between lean tools and the powerful features of recent real-time data capturing systems with the help of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to develop an intelligent real-time monitoring and controlling system of production operations concerning lean targets. This integration is represented in the Lean 4.0 system called Dynamic Value Stream Mapping (DVSM). Moreover, the paper introduces the practice of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and ICT to smartly support lean tools and practices during daily production runs to keep the lean system alive and effective. This work introduces a practical description of how the lean method tools 5S, standardized work, and poka-yoke can be digitalized and smartly monitored and controlled through DVSM. A framework of the three tools has been discussed and put into practice in a German switchgear manufacturer. ER -
