Purpose: Given the growing importance of sustainability, an efficient model is proposed that allows the identification and quantification of industrial waste. Methodology/Approach: First, a bibliographic review of the existing models of joint application was carried out: Sustainability, Lean Philosophy, and Industry 4.0. Critical analysis of the existing models of joint application of these concepts. Preparation of the model proposal and analysis of the results. Findings: The proposed model, in addition to contributing to compliance with current laws, allows a better perception of the waste produced, including its characterization. This promotes the directing of waste to responsible and competent entities for its collection and recycling, showing a change in the company in environmental management policies. Research Limitation/implication: The inherent cost of reorganizing the layout design can be limiting, as it depends on the type, size, business characteristics, and flexibility of your existing production system. Originality/Value of paper: It is a new model of joint application of the three concepts and fills the void of the existing models. This allows organizations to have a better understanding of the waste produced.
