Lean Principles Meet Digitalization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Identify waste, streamline processes and further optimize value creation through digital technologies - experienced hands-on using real-world infrastructure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cLean Digital Production\u201d learning module combines classic lean principles with Industry 4.0 technologies in a hands-on, action-oriented format that requires no prior knowledge. In a 120-minute practical workshop at the Industrial Transformation Lab (InTraLab), participants work through a simulated production process in three progressive stages: from an initial process characterized by waste, through classic lean optimization, to a digitally optimized smart factory. This makes the entire transformation journey tangible in just two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than attending traditional classroom-style instruction, participants identify, eliminate and optimize waste themselves using real Industry 4.0 infrastructure. A real-time dashboard immediately shows how the improvements affect lead time, costs and scrap rates. The module is deliberately designed to be accessible to production employees, shop-floor workers and machine operators, and was developed using the Design Science Research methodology and evaluated by experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
