Why combine Lean Six Sigma with Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0 (robotics, big data, the internet of things, simulation, integration, cybersecurity, cloud computing, additive manufacturing, augmented reality, etc.) has started the fourth industrial revolution. However, it is not enough to generate a structural change in the company.
Today Lean Six Sigma has adapted to technological advances to become the ideal management system that provides the agility, flexibility, efficiency, and productivity that companies seek to achieve with such advances.
The fourth industrial revolution needs companies that work with the authentic Lean Six Sigma system.
