Abstract
In industry 4.0, industry individuals implement lean and smart manufacturing to improve shop floor management systems. Shop floor management is used to control operational performance and enhance production within limited constraints. Various shop floor management approaches are used in the present scenario of industry 4.0, and mainly include value stream mapping, total productive maintenance, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and fuzzy logic. The present research aims to develop an open innovation method to achieve sustainability in shop floor management systems in industry 4.0 by using lean and smart manufacturing concepts. The proposed method has been validated by an enhancement obtained in a real case of the shop floor management system in industry 4.0. The authors are confident that the proposed method would provide sustainability in the shop floor management system within limited constraints in industry 4.0.
