Abstract

Lean management and “Industrie 4.0” have often been considered as separate subjects. Lean management, as a methodical approach, aims at realizing a continuous value stream with less waste by means of continuous optimizations and standardization. On the opposite, the digitalization of the production, characterized by “Industrie 4.0”, is not based on methods. It focusses on the technology-driven vision of the combination of the physical world and the cyber world, which can be realized mainly by the application of technologies. The given article demonstrates the necessity of lean management as a requirement for “Industrie 4.0”. It will illustrate the link between both topics and show the maturity levels of the unification of both topics. For that reason, a practical learning factory approach with several levels of maturity is presented, focussing on assistance systems as one part of “Industrie 4.0”, to show the effects of “Industrie 4.0” on lean production workplaces.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
