Lean manufacturing (LM) is one of the strongest tools used by manufacturing companies to improve and optimize their processes, making them more performant and agile. The current industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, aims to give new momentum to manufacturing systems through various technologies, of which Blockchain is one of them. This technology has gained significant attention for its ability to enhance transparency, traceability, and data security within manufacturing and supply chain operations, representing a valuable opportunity to enhance lean manufacturing tools. Firstly, this paper presents what lean manufacturing is. After that, it explores how Industry 4.0 technologies influence LM. Then, it examines the impact of blockchain on LM, paving the way for lean 4.0 by presenting a case study concerning the Kanaban method in the automotive sector. Finally, the summary and future research direction will be presented.
