Lesson Plan Introduction & Context Status Quo of Lean Production & Industry 4.0 Capability of Industry 4.0 Lean Automation as Combination of Two Disciplines Combining Industry 4.0 & Lean Production Summary & Outlook

Context Modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Lean Automation & Cyber Physical System Lean approach is successful because of its high effectiveness by reducing complexity and avoiding non-value-creating process steps. The Lean Production paradigm has become the major approach to create highly efficient processes in industry since the early 1990s. Today , the term Industry 4.0 describes a vision of future production. Smart watches for supporting the Andon principle or Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) for a flexible Kanban production scheduling. 3

Status Quo of Lean Production & Industry 4.0 Advantages and disadvantages of Lean Production How a production has to be organized and processes have to be handled to reach shortest lead time with minimum costs and highest quality Key concepts are reduction of waste, a continuous improvement process & a change in production control towards demand-oriented production. Lean production contributes faster reaction on changing market demands, smaller batches & transparent plus standardised processes to mass & batch production. 4 Strong deviations in market demands conflict with required levelled capacity utilization. Lean Production’s suitability for future shorter product life cycles and individual single-item production is limited.

Capability of Industry 4.0 Industry 4.0 aims for optimization of value chains by implementing an autonomously controlled and dynamic production. Enablers are the availability of real time information and networked systems. Instruments to reach this increased automation are CPS. Equipped with microcontroller, actuators, sensors and a communication interface, CPS can work autonomously and interact with their production environment. As a result, a factory becomes ‘Smart’ 5 Four enablers for the Smart Factory: Smart Products Smart Products Smart Machines Smart Planner Smart Operators

Lean Automation as Combination of Two Disciplines Advantages and disadvantages of Lean Production How a production has to be organized and processes have to be handled to reach shortest lead time with minimum costs and highest quality Key concepts are reduction of waste, a continuous improvement process & a change in production control towards demand oriented production. Lean production contributes faster reaction on changing market demands, smaller batches & transparent plus standardised processes to mass & batch production. 6 Strong deviations in market demands are in conflict with required levelled capacity utilization. Lean Production’s suitability for future shorter product life cycles and individual single-item production is limited. iBin system installed in a bin

Combining Industry 4.0 & Lean Production Advantages of combining both Industry 4.0 can be integrated in Lean Production and beyond that improve Lean Production by increased integration of ICT. This benefit accelerates the shift of Industry 4.0 from science to reality. Applying Industry 4.0 to established Lean Production could lower risks of integration due to existing advice for the organizational integration. As a result, they are less complex and support the installation of Industry 4.0 solutions 7

Combining Industry 4.0 & Lean Production Use cases for applying Industry 4.0 Solutions The identified enablers can be applied to several methods of Lean Production. 8 Smart Operator Andon Method Smart Watches Trigger actions on CPS Augmented Reality Just-In-Time Performed Tasks Smart Product Kaizen Value Stream Mapping Kanban Smart Machine Poka-Yoke Cyber Physical System SQ Codes to RFID SMED Smart Planner One-Piece Flow Product Variety Kanban

Combining Industry 4.0 & Lean Production A framework : The combination of CPS and Lean Production in one framework can satisfy these requirements 9 Plug 'n’ produce at Smart Factory KL production line

Combining Industry 4.0 & Lean Production R ecommendation for a framework S ervice oriented architectures (SOA) Beyond a standardized hardware interface like RJ45, HDMI or GPIO, CPS require standardized software interfaces. TCP/IP and OPC UA are already existing, established examples of communication protocols 10 Example of the integration of CPS as interface of working stations

Summary & Outlook 11   Industry 4.0 Lean Production Principle: Just-In-Time Principle: Jidoka Method: Kanban system Method: Andon   Smart Operator Employee gets information about remaining cycle time via augmented reality Wearable computing systems receive failures and display it in real time to the employee   Smart Product Smart Product contains information of Kanban to realize an order-oriented production   -   Smart Machine Machines offer a standardized interface for receiving and sending Kanban Machines send failures directly to Smart Operators and call other systems for fault-repair actions   Smart Planner IT systems reconfigure production lines and update Kanban according to the new configuration   -
