Abstract
Maintenance is a strategic factor and a key enabler for smart production. Therefore, it needs to be intelligent – smart – and cost efficient – lean. The Lean Smart Maintenance (LSM) management concept combines these two perspectives and enables a value adding, efficient, and intelligent asset management for production with digitalization aspects. This paper introduces LSM and explains its major components. LSM consists of efficiency drivers, e. g. maintenance processes and planning, outsourcing, and effectiveness factors, e. g. data and knowledge management, qualification and maintenance strategy. The implementation of the instruments in a four loop controlling cycle with vertical data integration is important. Furthermore, a LSM implementation model is introduced. A LSM assessment methodology as implementation step is briefly explained. A maturity model is used to identify and improve the current state of asset management. The four step LSM implementation model is described.

Summary
Companies must perform in a highly flexible and agile manner in a dynamic environment. One of the key success factors in such an environment is a life cycle oriented and sustainable asset management. As maintenance is a main part of asset management, it needs to be focused. Maintenance management must change towards the requirements of Digitalization (Industry 4.0) to become an enabler of the smart factory. New concepts need to be developed [1]. The Lean Smart Maintenance (LSM) approach – combining lean philosophy and smart maintenance – meets these requirements [2]. This paper introduces the new LSM concept and a model for its implementation
