Abstract
This article presents research implications related to the analysis of current trends occurring in the industry and resulting from the analysis of trends in literature. A new trend is noticeable in the range of computer simulations using digital twin technologies in the optimization of intralogistics processes, the implementation of which is based on Lean philosophy. This article shows the connection of Industry 4.0 with Lean in the context of Digital Twin (simulation) in the area of intralogistics. A three-step methodology of literature research was developed and described. In accordance with the adopted research methodology, research questions were indicated and a detailed list of selection criteria was developed. The research methods included brainstorming and statistical analysis. The research results are presented in three sections: the results of the trend analysis, the results of the quantitative literature research, and the results of the complementary research. The research results confirm the existence of a new trend and form the basis for formulating objectives for further research.

Summary
This article presents the effect of research carried out in recent years by the team of authors. The result of the research is the authors’ thoughts on new trends and changes in the industry. There is a mechanistic approach by Elon Musk in the production of the Tesla Model 3, which was expressed by excessive automation (too many robots in the final assembly), something that Elon Musk assessed as a mistake [1] “Yes, excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake. There is the Toyota approach, expressed in the book [2]; today’s car complexity requires a methodology such as the one developed by Toyota through many decades. Employees are the central focus as they have the best knowledge in the range of production processes. Toyota first tries to understand the production process very well, and only does it introduce robots into it. 2011 saw the emergence of an initiative of the German government called Industry 4.0 (shortened to I4.0)
