Lean Manufacturing + Industry 4.0

The new lean with more value

Technological evolution has completely revolutionized the manufacturing process. The introduction of advanced robotics, IoT, Machine learning, and advanced sensors have enabled the rapid collection of data in real-time. That way Industry 4.0 is merging the physical and digital world to achieve actionable data insights. This enables the managers to accurately predict the failure before it occurs so that the processes can be improved effectively. The following are the goals that Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are achieving together.

1. Knowing the customer needs

Lean manufacturing is a customer-centric manufacturing approach. When lean integrates with digital technologies, it provides an even clearer picture of the customer needs. Advanced data analytics and Artificial Intelligence come in handy to know better about the customers.

2. Enhanced continuous improvement programs

3. Waste elimination in the value chain

From ordering till delivery to the customer, the waste needs to be eliminated in the value chain. That's where the data analytics and other Industry 4.0 methodology come to the rescue. Advanced operational systems, IT, integration of machines with devices offer a holistic approach towards the elimination of waste in the value chain. This way the employees can determine the weak spots in the process and fix them to improve the manufacturing operations.
