Sammendrag
This thesis examines the impact of digitalization on quality improvements in lean and green manufacturing. Through a literature review and case studies, the study analyzes the benefits and challenges of digitalization in optimizing manufacturing processes, reducing waste, and improving product and service quality.
The findings suggest that digitalization can enhance manufacturing efficiency and sustainability, by enabling real-time monitoring and control of the production systems, improving supply chain visibility and total collaboration, and facilitating data-driven with decision-making analysis. However, the successful implementation of digitalization requires addressing several challenges, such as data security and privacy, workforce skills and training, and organizational change management.
The study also highlights the importance of integrating digitalization with lean and green manufacturing principles to achieve synergistic benefits. Overall, this project contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digitalization and manufacturing and provides practical implications for managers and stakeholders seeking to enhance manufacturing competitiveness and sustainability.
