“…Although, LM techniques originated from manufacturing sector, its core principles are found across different enterprises and applied in diverse ways. Many studies [1] [2][6] [13][14][15][16] have shown that LM techniques can work in whatever domain it is applied because it gives a data-based approach to effective decision making and emphasizing the tracking of root causes [1]. Many successful industries have achieved outstanding performance by integrating LM principles at the core of their corporate transformation.…”

Application of lean manufacturing (LM) principles within the manufacturing industry extends back several decades to drive efficiency and reduce waste across complex production lines. The advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, known as “Industry 4.0” technology is transforming the LM processes to promote the manufacturing industry. Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been identified as a technology with great potential to create a longstanding impact on the manufacturing world and is a core component of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Many successful industries have achieved outstanding performance by integrating LM principles at the core of their corporate transformation. Of recent, AM and 3D printing has been identified as a technology that is revolutionizing LM principles in the following ways: easier prototyping, easily customize products, shorter lead times, local on-demand manufacturing, and lower cost production. Despite the exceptional success of LM principles across different industries and sectors, still many companies LM journeys fail due to many obvious reasons. The emergence of Industry 4.0 digital technologies has created an enabling environment for different manufacturing industries currently using LM principles to identify the need to embrace or add digital technologies to their lean manufacturing transformation journey. The intersections between LM and digital technologies are termed as “Digital Lean” or “Lean 4.0”. There are limited studies and literature gaps on lean manufacturing within the context of AM industry. More so, there is no study that examines the application of digital lean manufacturing in an AM industry. The paper presents a review of the concept of lean manufacturing principles and how it is revolutionizing the AM industry. This paper investigates the concept of digital lean manufacturing and its future potential impact in the AM industry. Finally, this paper develops a digital lean manufacturing system or tools considered suitable for the AM industry.

This work presents an innovative constrained programming model for solving a flexible job-shop scheduling problem with assemblies and limited buffer capacity based on a real case from the shipbuilding industry. Unlike the existing literature, this problem incorporates the manufacturing and assembly of blocks from subblocks to the final ship erection, while considering the limited buffer capacity due to the size of blocks, which has been often overlooked. The objectives considered are the minimization of the makespan and tardiness based on ship erection due dates. To demonstrate the model’s effectiveness, it is initially validated using various scheduling problems from the literature. Then, the model is applied to progressively challenging instances of the shipbuilding problem presented in this work. Finally, the optimization results are validated and analyzed using a comprehensive simulation model. Overall, this work contributes to reducing the gap between academia and industry by providing evidence of the convenience of the application of constrained programming models combined with simulation models on industrial-size scheduling problems within reasonable computational time. Moreover, the paper emphasizes originality by addressing unexplored aspects of shipbuilding scheduling problems and highlights potential future research, providing a robust foundation for further advancements in the field.
