Abstract: Lean is widely implemented approach to improve quality of a product and production process by eliminating wastes and adding value to the product. Industry 4.0 is the modern approach of integrating cyber world with real physical world. Integrating these two methods is very complex but produces high efficiency. The study aims to review the integration of lean manufacturing with Industry 4.0. The review is presented in seven perspectives. Based on the review, a framework for lean integration with Industry 4.0 is presented. Systematic literature review (SLR) methodology is adopted in this study. Concepts, principles, techniques and tools were discussed elaborately from viewpoint of modern manufacturing. The insights based on review and proposed framework would enable industry practitioners to systematically deploy lean concepts in Industry 4.0 environment.

Keywords: lean; Industry 4.0; cyber physical system; CPS; framework; integration; internet of things; IoT; value stream mapping; Industry 4.0 technologies.
