摘要：
This article results from a work carried out in a company that is dedicated to the production of mechanical equipment. Throughout the production process, with the support of Value Stream Mapping (VSM), it was possible to detect several wastes. This article suggests several lean tools that can be used, indicating the improvements that can be obtained with each of the recommended hardware. This work aims above all to be a guide to support organizations that wish to start their lean road. Smart value creation remains today dependent on the maturity of how lean management tools are applied. Lean, innovative technologies, critical knowledge, talent and big data need other dimensions to be sustainable. I4.0 assumes here a critical pillar for this new journey toward the future of our organizations. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
