Abstract
In the recent trend, many manufacturing industries are looking to develop and optimise their operational excellence to match the raising complexity of integrating lean concept and Industrial 4.0 (I4.0). Through literatures of previous researchers, the authors can state that the lean principle and concept are the backbone for the industrial operational excellence which has been the primary objective across all sectors. Industry 4.0 has numerous technologies advanced to back up the process optimisation and supplement need for greener environment in industries. In this chapter, the study primarily focusses on exploring and identifying the best suited Industry 4.0 technologies, which can enhance lean and green paradigms in industry through which a clear pathway can be created for smooth transfer of technology within a system. Also, the authors have discussed the enhancement of lean tools by application of Industry 4.0 technologies and have developed a relationship matrix between Industrial 4.0 technologies and lean practices.
