“…Although material requirements planning (MRP) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) are almost a standard, to make companies more agile and flexible, more advanced solutions must be implemented [19]. Smart factories use CPS to link the physical world with the virtual one, creating a working network [20][21][22]. The internet of things (IoT) included in CPS contributes to monitor and, consequently, improve the production process [23].…”

“…Generally speaking, a I4.0 project must be carried out as a gradual process, and the current manufacturing systems must be preserved and considered in a socio-technical view [20,26,30]. Western industrial production was typified by the wave of lean production and lean management in the recent decades, creating now the idea that the I4.0 context may have to be integrated into existing lean production systems in order to succeed [30].…”

“…With this system, missing or empty bins can be exposed, and replenishment can be triggered automatically [42]. In Bittencourt et al [20], a case study is cited, carried out by the Wurth Company, which introduced an order replenishment system based on Kanban baskets. The new program can send orders automatically to suppliers, decreasing, in that way, stock and consequently space clearance on the shop floors occurs.…”

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.

“…The question posed by Mrugalska et al [164] has been addressed by many authors, both theoretically and analyzing use cases across many countries: "Can Lean and Industry 4.0 coexist and support each other, and if so, how?" There are four main lines of thought when answering this question: (1) Lean techniques and Industry 4.0 technologies interact in a positive way, and there are many cases to illustrate this [8,9,165,166]; (2) Lean facilitates the change towards Industry 4.0 [167,168];…”

Lean Manual Assembly 4.0: A Systematic Review

In a demand context of mass customization, shifting towards the mass personalization of products, assembly operations face the trade-off between highly productive automated systems and flexible manual operators. Novel digital technologies—conceptualized as Industry 4.0—suggest the possibility of simultaneously achieving superior productivity and flexibility. This article aims to address how Industry 4.0 technologies could improve the productivity, flexibility and quality of assembly operations. A systematic literature review was carried out, including 234 peer-reviewed articles from 2010–2020. As a result, the analysis was structured addressing four sets of research questions regarding (1) assembly for mass customization; (2) Industry 4.0 and performance evaluation; (3) Lean production as a starting point for smart factories, and (4) the implications of Industry 4.0 for people in assembly operations. It was found that mass customization brings great complexity that needs to be addressed at different levels from a holistic point of view; that Industry 4.0 offers powerful tools to achieve superior productivity and flexibility in assembly; that Lean is a great starting point for implementing such changes; and that people need to be considered central to Assembly 4.0. Developing methodologies for implementing Industry 4.0 to achieve specific business goals remains an open research topic.

The authors of the article generalize the results of research of a selected group of Czech industrial companies. These companies are founded on the experience of technological transformation in industry as a prerequisite for admission to technological chains which demonstrate high measurement accuracy and major changes in technological procedures.The models of internal economic management are not sufficiently flexible to capture these changes as the investments in Industry 4.0 technologies are introduced. The results of investment research showed that the software used to manage the economics of the companies has lost its effectivity and needs replacement. One method of securing flexibility and continuity with Industry 4.0 dynamics is the application of economic thought in economics.
