Systems Integration in the Lean Manufacturing Systems Value Chain to Meet Industry 4.0 Requirements

In the last two decades, technological and managerial changes are helping industrial organizations address the growing need to become more competitive, reducing production costs and delivering products that meet quality standards with higher performance. Two factors play a major role in this scenario. The first factor is the widespread application of automation technologies that make extensive use of intelligent information processing techniques, a paradigm that has been called Industry 4.0. The second factor is the adoption of the lean philosophy, with its focus on efficiency, effectiveness and waste reduction by emphasizing the core value that must be delivered to customers. Making decisions related to changes in a production environment usually involves considering aspects related to these factors and their relationships, which in most cases are non-trivial. This work is a historical review of the literature of the industrial revolution to the new industry 4.0, added the needs of automation use in lean production systems and supply chain characterization to develop a framework for integration of information systems and technologies in the stages of the chain value manufacturing.
