Integrating Lean Principles into Lean Robotics Systems for Enhanced Production Processes

Abstract

Integrating lean principles into lean robotics systems emerges as a transformative path for production processes. This paper addresses the question of what are the best practices of integrating lean principles within robotics systems to enhance production processes in manufacturing systems through a comprehensive literature review, direct engagement with robotics engineers, and generating a Voice of Use Table Performance analysis (VOT) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to illuminate the advantages realized from lean principles within robotics systems and draw attention to the current gap of how robotics systems can become lean in manufacturing to maximize their value in production processes. The paper focuses on the key findings of the possible influence on the development of the principles of lean, as well as the precision and accuracy of robotics systems for improved production processes in manufacturing systems.
