摘要

Industry 4.0 technologies are still underutilized in supporting the development of lean manufacturing skills through physical simulations of production systems. This study investigates the impact of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system on facilitating the acquisition of lean manufacturing practices by team members. Two experiments were conducted using physical simulations with separate samples comprising 15 participants each—one group utilizing the IoT-based system and the other not. Data analysis using Student’s t-test revealed that the system significantly enhanced the acquisition of both technical (p = 0.004) and non-technical (p = 0.003) lean manufacturing practices. The results also show that the system practically doubles skills acquisition regardless of the type of practice. In addition to recontextualizing lean manufacturing through the use of digital technologies, this study provides practical insights for manufacturing firms aiming to enhance employee skill development and increase productivity.
