Abstract

As a result of increasing globalization, manufacturing companies are confronted with rising cost and time pressure. They are countering these influences with the management approach of lean production. Since 2011, Industry 4.0 has been established as another promising approach in the production environment. The combination of both domains is referred to and discussed in science as Lean 4.0. In this paper, the one-to-one connection between the principles and methods of lean production and the technologies of Industry 4.0 is elaborated using the Delphi study method and Domain Mapping Matrices (DMM). This contribution shall serve as an essential basis for companies to implement Lean 4.0 in their production.
