Abstract

The proliferation of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies has created a new manufacturing landscape for manufacturing, requiring that companies follow I4.0 trends to stay competitive. However, in this novel digital automated environment, these companies must also ensure that lean manufacturing principles are upheld. This study proposes a data-driven framework for analysing raw data across
machines in manufacturing systems that can provide a comprehensive understanding of idle time and facilitate adjustments to reduce defect rates. This framework offers an alternative approach to improving manufacturing processes that involves utilising the power of I4.0 technologies in conjunction with lean manufacturing principles. This study’s examination of unprocessed data also provides guidance on improving legislation. The findings of this study provide direction for future research in the field of manufacturing and offer useful advice to businesses wishing to integrate I4.0 technologies into their operations
