Summary:Lean is a term that was first used in 1988 with reference to a production system. It is a highly acknowledged production method that focuses on cutting out waste, at the same time ensuring the same quality. An emerging field known as industry 4.0 has recently evolved, with the goal of incorporating current smart technologies into the industrial process. Due to the novel nature of the subject, very little evidence is there to suggest that there is a link between industry 4.0 and Lean production. The study aims to find empirical evidence to show the direct relationship between the introduction of industry 4.0 and Lean process and to find the impact it has on organizational performance. The research is based on data gathered in the form of a survey questionnaire. The measurement scale used for the questionnaire was a five-point Likert scale, the primary respondents of the questionnaires were production engineers, service engineers and sales representatives. The data was analyzed using IBM SPSS software and a correlation between industry 4.0 technologies and Lean manufacturing was obtained.
