Abstract

This study presents a data-driven framework that integrates lean management and digital business process modelling to enhance sustainability in textile manufacturing. Conducted in a company producing industrial safety textiles from Peru, this research applies lean tools within a digital BPM structure supported by real-time data tracking. The integrated approach led to increased production efficiency (from 79% to 86%), reduced setup times, and improved operational agility. The digital infrastructure empowered operators and supported informed decision-making. This work contributes to Industrial Engineering, Business Administration, and MIS by offering a holistic model that bridges lean principles with Industry 4.0 technologies. The findings, though context-specific, provide actionable insights for manufacturers aiming for smart and sustainable operations. Future research should validate the proposed framework across diverse industrial contexts and assess its longitudinal impact on lean performance outcomes.
