Abstract

Lean Production Systems are enterprise-specific, methodical frameworks for the continuous orientation of all enterprise processes to the customer in order to achieve overall objectives. Due to the increasing complexity of digital transformation, the management of methods in Lean Production Systems 4.0 (LPS 4.0) is a challenging task for industrial engineering practice. Starting with a set of 35 Lean methods, this paper aim to review the existing literature regarding digitally-advanced LPS 4.0 methods. Academic contributions were analyzed in a systematic literature review (SLR). The SLR screening of 706 scientific papers led to the identification of 54 approaches for LPS 4.0 methods. All 54 approaches were assessed regarding their maturity level for detailed documentation. As a result, 18 LPS 4.0 methods are described in a uniform standardized LPS 4.0 method template. The new LPS 4.0 methods are highly relevant for practical application in industrial engineering practice, which has already been tested in a first implementation of methods in an industrial engineering toolbox (Toolbox Lean 4.0).
