The design of a holistic integration offers a way to companies, to identify the importance and the relationships between Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, pointing out the convergences and the organizational gains from the interaction between the Just in Time (JIT), Kanban, Poka-Yoke, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Kaizen and Toyota Productive Maintenance (TPM) with digital technologies. This integration proposal means the alignment of a lean production system according to the technological trends arising from Industry 4.0, demonstrating that the organizational goals can be achieved jointly by these two approaches. Therefore, the two philosophies, when applied together, can optimize company KPIs, pointing out a practical path to be followed by lean companies from different sectors that are looking to adapt to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Keeping this in mind, IMTMA is organizing a full-day session on "Lean 4.0 Integration & Enhancement of Lean with I4.0"

Note: To provide a more dynamic and interactive experience to the participants, in addition to the virtual session, we have an option for the participants to attend this program physically at IMTMA premises on the same day.

Please coordinate with the IMTMA program coordinator, if you are attending the program physically. 

Virtual Attendance: For those who prefer the convenience of joining remotely, the virtual program offers a dynamic and interactive experience, with possible poll interactions and follow-up assignments. You can participate from the comfort of your home or office, accessing all sessions online.

Physical Attendance at IMTMA: Alternatively, for a more immersive experience, you have the option to attend the program in person at the IMTMA facility. This provides an opportunity for face-to-face interaction, networking, assignments, and hands-on engagement.
