Abstract

Lean Manufacturing is always important for process improvement in manufacturing industries especially in deem of adoption but the implementation of simple lean is not enough to attain required results. A recent trend has been observed regarding the implementation of strategies like Lean, Agile, Resilient and Green (LARG) in combination to attain fruitful results. However, this combination carries a complication regarding its understanding and implementation and a gap observed regarding the availability of literature study that can cope all these strategies on one platform for understanding and can suggest a proper implementation method. It has been observed that there are some new models that are utilizing electronic configurations to provide powerful platform for process improvements. Utilization of LARG as tool or technique in combination of technologies can be very effective for process improvements. Therefore, this current work emphasis on the combining of LARG along with wireless technologies for obtaining a sustainable improvement in manufacturing sector, which seems unavailable. Based on this ideology, the aim of this research is to conduct a systematic literature study that reviews the previously available LARG research with the objectives to first study the LARG combination for understanding and to develop the interrelation between LARG and previous available technologies for its successful implementation. The literature study results that the LARG combination has many benefits like helpful to attain elimination of non-value activities (lean), responsive to the changing demands of customers as per increasing volatile market (agile), responsive to the unexpected disruptions (resilient) and to adopt environmental protection (green) but typically lacks its utilization with modern technologies (Like RFID) that will be helpful to attain successful implementation. The contribution of this study is the next generation in LARG implementation to emphasis more on the combining of LARG implementation with utilization of modern technologies

Highlights

With the continuously increasing competition, Industries are transitioning toward the modern manufacturing techniques to compete in the market
Lean many different techniques is not an easy task as these manufacturing technique is the basic need of every techniques have dissimilarities in their workings [11], industry as it proceeds toward the reduction of wastes in contrast to this point of view few researchers have and a consistent opinions that these four techniques do have assessment is required for its sustainability
The competition in the market has forced the companies towards a more competitive supply chain management and the survival for a company has become necessary to be exposed to new technologies and quality management [29]

Summary

Introduction

With the continuously increasing competition, Industries are transitioning toward the modern manufacturing techniques to compete in the market. Technology innovation has brought variety in products [1], transition toward the modern manufacturing techniques has become vital for the survival of company in the global competition [2]. A Lean Agile Resilient Green Implementation and Technology Utilization: A New Vision in Technology Adoption tries to implement the technique depending upon its and green in a most suitable way for organizational requirement out of which Lean manufacturing benefits. Lean many different techniques is not an easy task as these manufacturing technique is the basic need of every techniques have dissimilarities in their workings [11], industry as it proceeds toward the reduction of wastes in contrast to this point of view few researchers have (transport, inventory, waiting etc.) and a consistent opinions that these four techniques do have assessment is required for its sustainability. With the overlapping in few aspects [12,13]
