Abstract
The digital transformation changes and disrupts principles of production. For an implementation of Industrie 4.0 technologies into existing production systems adjusted methods are needed. Value stream mapping is a well-known method from the lean production toolset and can be extended with an Industrie 4.0 perspective. The benefit of this method is a simplifying overview about the whole value stream combined with a quick analysis of improvement potentials. Identified potentials can be raised with solutions from Industrie 4.0 by making use of the qualitative correlation between Industrie 4.0 technologies and production targets. The target oriented integration of Industrie 4.0 technologies into value stream design is a further important step to realize the Industrie 4.0 vision in existing lean production systems, demonstrated in a use case in automotive electronics production.
