“…The term lean automation slowly gained popularity throughout the 1990s, and it concerns developing automation solutions with a low level of complexity that fits lean production environments (Jackson et al 2011). The new possibilities enabled by Industry 4.0 have reignited some of the research within this field (Kolberg and Zühlke 2015;Kolberg, Knobloch, and Zühlke 2017).…”

In recent years, Industry 4.0 has emerged as one of the most discussed concepts and has gained significant popularity in both academia and the industrial sector. Both Industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing utilise decentralised control and aim to increase productivity and flexibility. However, there have been few studies investigating the link between these two domains. This article explores this novel area and maps the current literature. This is achieved through a systematic literature review methodology, investigating literature published up to and including August 2017. This article identifies four main research streams concerning the link between Industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing, and a research agenda for future studies is proposed.

Until recently, it was enough for industrial enterprises to buy the best available technology and use it more efficiently than competitors. Lean manufacturing was the most reliable tool to achieve the goal of forming a strategic economic portfolio. This paradigm ends today. Lean manufacturing by its philosophy forms a competitive advantage for the enterprise that has implemented Lean-tools in production processes. In this aspect, digitalization offers another way to increase productivity. Future competitiveness will be highest for those companies that plan to integrate lean manufacturing with digital technologies.Investments in digital technologies have become important, but the effectiveness of the transformation will depend not on special sensors, algorithms, models or Analytics tools, but on the effectiveness of the integration of Lean-tools with modern information technologies of production management. Production processes of companies operating in the nuclear power industry are not typical, which does not contribute to the effective implementation of packaged information products. The modern market of IT solutions is represented by a sufficient number of software products, but the specifics of the energy sector makes special demands on the digitization of management processes.In the near future, nuclear power companies will need to establish effective interaction and cooperation both within the company and with external partners, which is impossible without digital support for management decisions.

“…An interface for digitalizing Lean Production methods using CPS has been presented by Kolberg and Zühlke [26], which consists in a unified communication interface that allows a higher level of changeableness in Lean Production for workstations. This means that the interface increases the flexibility of workstations, supporting a fast and easy installation and enabling their integration into workflows and with other new thirdparty applications.…”

The global industrial landscape has deeply changed over the last few years and the Industry 4.0 concept has emerged, being enabled by successive disruptive innovations and technological development that have transformed manufacturing processes. This concept is being pointed out as the fourth industrial revolution that embraces a set of new technologies that are shaping the future manufacturing vision. However, Lean Production is a widely used manufacturing approach that brings several benefits to organizations. Despite the integration between Industry 4.0 and Lean Production is being researched in the recent years, the impacts that result from the implementation of new technologies in established lean practices is not clear. The purpose of this study that consists in a systematic literature review is assessing how these emerging disruptive technologies can enhance lean practices and analyse their impacts and benefits for organizations that are moving towards this new industrial paradigm.
