“…This is because LM is based on standardized practices and worker involvement (kaizen), which can take advantage of the environment presented by cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things. This view does not coincide with that of Meissner et al (2018) who see LM as system of continuous learning and improvement based on standards, focused on people, while I4.0 focuses on technical improvements. Therefore I4.0 cannot replace lean manufacturing.…”

“…Virtual reality and augmented reality -by means of wearable devices such as smartwatches, smartglasses, smartphones and tablets (Gorecky et al, 2014)-are possible ways in which operators can receive information. With these tools, work may become a game, and this fact will contribute to people engagement (Meissner et al, 2018). Kolberg and Zühlke (2015) contend that, in this environment, operators become Smart Operators or Augmented Operators (Mrugalska and Wyrwicka, 2017) who are capable of supervising and controlling ongoing activities.…”

El llamado lean manufacturing (también “producción ajustada”, en España) ha sido durante años el modelo de éxito que ha llevado muchas empresas a la excelencia operacional. Sin embargo, los cambios en el mercado que requieren producción personalizada en masa barata parecen estar fuera del alcance de la metodología lean, más pensada para una producción más estable. La Industria 4.0 nace como un sistema prometedor para hacer frente a futuros desafíos en entornos productivos por medio de la automatización y el intercambio de datos gracias a los sistemas ciber-físicos y al Internet de las Cosas. La relación entre lean e industria 4.0 atrae a muchos investigadores en gestión y el número de publicaciones y referencias no para de aumentar con rapidez. No obstante, la falta de aplicaciones reales lleva a trabajos teóricos sobre posibles resultados en multitud de aspectos.El objetivo de este artículo es explorar y evaluar, por medio de una revisión sistemática que llega a setiembre de 2019, el trabajo previo sobre la relación entre lean manufacturing e industria 4.0, para poder entender si ambos enfoques se pueden integrar y si entre los elementos de ambas corrientes existen sinergias. Además, se realiza un estudio bibliométrico.Aunque distintos escenarios son posibles, muchos se refieren a una mejora de las herramientas lean gracias a la información en tiempo real. La mayoría muestra una evolución, no una revolución. El lean ofrece procesos estables que pueden ser automatizados y digitalizados con éxito. De otro modo las nuevas tecnologías no podrán aprovechar los procesos mal gestionados. El papel del personal se ha estudiado poco en los trabajos revisados.

“…Lean has its focus on financial and operational performance via a systematic and continuous search for waste decrease and improvements, so in line of this thought a few researches support that the implementation of lean and I4.0 could mitigate existing management complications and direct manufacturers to even higher performance standards [4]. Industry 4.0 is capable of improvement, but in a mostly technical approach, which does not replace the value-based mind set of lean [45]. For this reason, the integration of both concepts is better received by the academy, hoping that the opportunities that I4.0 can bring will take lean to another level of excellence.…”

Industry 4.0 and its application in the business has been the focus of attention by the academy, for its ability to establish principles of flexibility and connectivity along the shop floor. Meantime, because of a lean wave in the 1990’s, most of the western industry adopted principles, techniques and tools of lean production, whose results were quickly captured, guaranteed its adoption worldwide. Thus, with a view to turning traditional manufacturing companies into smart companies, it is essential to preserve the existing system and find ways for the two concepts (Lean and I4.0) to come together. This study was conducted based on a systematic literature review, using the Scopus database. The PRISMA process was the method used to select the articles. Finally, to analyze and discuss the results, the bibliometric analysis of the articles and content analysis were adopted. The results point to a greater impact of I4.0 technologies on lean, since it was perceived that I4.0 technologies give to lean tools a more dynamic way of working, accelerating information sharing processes and improving production manager’s and operator’s decision making. In the perspective of lean’s contribution to I4.0; however, there is little practical and theoretical application, thus the actual contribution is still somewhat blurred.

“…I4.0 has a strong influence on the manufacturing set-up [1] and has thus attracted attention from governments, industries and researchers, but still many aspect of the belonging new digitalized perspectives are unknown and uncertain [9]. Smart manufacturing unfolds from I4.0 and the term is used when discussing how the future will look like.…”

“…Nowadays the technologies related to the I4.0 perspective is having a strong impact on the manufacturing setup. Many manufacturing companies draws attention to the new buzzword "smart manufacturing", and as a result, I4.0 is attached to many lips [1]. Manufacturing companies operates in complex infrastructures and uncertain environments, where reliable-and up-to date information in the right proportions is crucial for conducting good decision-making, and this shouts for appliance of digital technologies to visualize reliable information [2].…”

This paper aims at emphasize the importance of digital decision support systems (DSS) to enhance the human based decision making at the shop floor management (SFM) level. This paper suggest that there is an increased focus on implementing digital technologies for developing DSSs that are adapted to the current threshold of the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) era. It is believed that there is a call for appliance of digital technologies for decision support, as the complexity of infrastructures at manufacturing facilities increases and the environments are becoming more uncertain. Those companies who not move rapidly and focus on being responsive will fall behind and lose market share, due to the large competition seen today. This paper suggest that the adaptation of digital DSSs at the SFM level will support the practitioners in their decision-making processes, wherefrom the performance level will increase.
