Abstract
This paper intends to capture the attention of the lean researchers towards a shift of priorities of the various techniques implemented in lean and its journey of 40 years in the global scenario. In particular, the paper focuses on the implementation of lean techniques in India under the banner of sustainability. The paper focuses on three industries, a textile industry representing industrial revolution 1.0, an automotive spare parts industry representing industrial revolution 2.0, and an electrical/electronics industry representing industrial revolution 3.0, named ‘A', ‘B', and ‘C', respectively, and analyses the priorities of the eight best techniques of lean in the sustainability phase. The techniques are Kaizen, Poke-Yoke, 5S, Kanban, Just-in-Time, Jidoka, Takt-Time, and Heijunka. The industries ‘A' and ‘C' have Poke-Yoke as the most critical technique and have been ranked one whereas in industry ‘B' 5S emerges as the most prolific technique in the Indian context of these industries.

During the second industrial revolution, automotive industry came into picture beginning with craft production followed in succession by mass production improvised by Henry Ford around 1900
Summary
The methodology and operational aspects of production in the industrial world has changed over time. With the transition from hand production methods to new machines and processes, the first industrial revolution (1760-1840) marked the dominance of textile industries in the world scenario. The second industrial revolution began in 1850’s with the advent of steel. The industrial revolution 3.0 (1969) saw the emergence of nuclear energy, electronics, telecommunication and computers. The industrial revolution 1.0 improvised water and steam to improvise production, the second introduced electricity to invoke mass production and industry 3.0 automated production by incorporating electronics and information technology. During the second industrial revolution, automotive industry came into picture beginning with craft production followed in succession by mass production improvised by Henry Ford around 1900
