Abstract

AbstractIn the polymer products industry, new technologies and Industry 4.0 concepts represent real solutions to increase efficiency and profitability through creating the intelligent and adaptable manufacturing system. At the same time, the existing manufacturing systems have made sustained efforts to implement Lean principles, techniques and tools to achieve process efficiency by eliminating waste and continuously improving performance. The production system architecture consists of active production resources, which participate directly in the production process flow, and passive elements, which have a supporting role. In Industry 4.0, these elements form a dynamic cyber‐physical production subsystem, through which different manufacturing solutions can be managed. Updating Lean production systems to Industry 4.0 level is obtained by implementing Lean tools and principles to the cyber‐physical system. This work presents the results of research on transforming a Lean instrument a into a Lean 4.0 solution, applicable to manufacturing cells processes, in an Industry 4.0 manufacturing system.
