Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to aim at identifying the relationships between Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and Lean Manufacturing (LM) practices.

Design/methodology/approach

A systematic literature review was conducted, in which 93 studies were analyzed according to their content and contextualization level.

Findings

In total, 9 I4.0 technologies and 14 LM practices were identified and categorized according to different levels of both value stream application and synergy. From the 126 pairwise relationships, 24 were classified as being of high synergy (e.g. relationship between Cyber-Physical Systems and value stream mapping), revealing the existence of a positive interaction between LPs and I4.0 technologies toward the achievement of a higher operational performance. Further, three future research opportunities were suggested: to validate the proposed synergies among LPs and I4.0 technologies; to distinguish the effects of relationships on all levels of flow; and to examine the effect of such relationships on operational performance.

Originality/value

With the emergence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the specificities on the relationship between LM and I4.0 still need further investigation. This paper provides a better understanding of existing literature related to I4.0, LM, and their relationship, as well as pointing out research gaps to encourage future works.

工业4.0和精益制造：系统的文献综述和未来的研究方向

目的

本文的目的是确定工业4.0（I4.0）技术与精益制造（LM）实践之间的关系。

设计/方法/方法

进行了系统的文献综述，其中根据其内容和语境化水平对93项研究进行了分析。

发现

根据价值流应用和协同作用的不同级别，总共确定并分类了9种I4.0技术和14种LM实践。从126个成对关系中，有24个被归类为具有高度协同作用（例如，网络物理系统与价值流映射之间的关系），这表明LP和I4.0技术之间存在着积极的互动，以实现更高的运营绩效。此外，还提出了三个未来的研究机会：验证LP和I4.0技术之间拟议的协同作用；区分关系对所有层次流动的影响；并研究这种关系对运营绩效的影响。

创意/价值

随着第四次工业革命的出现，关于LM和I4.0之间关系的特殊性仍需要进一步研究。本文提供了对与I4.0，LM及其关系的现有文献的更好理解，并指出了鼓励未来工作的研究差距。
