Abstract

Over the last decade, the adoption and implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies in manufacturing firms around the world has generated favorable conditions for their application in the supply chain. However, most studies published in the current literature have analyzed each of these concepts separately. Research is still being conducted on how to integrate Industry 4.0 digital technologies into current supply chain practices from a lean thinking perspective. This approach aims to significantly improve the capabilities and performance of the entire supply chain, as well as to provide robust empirical evidence supporting the relationship between these two concepts. Therefore, this empirical study, using a sample of 410 manufacturing firms in Mexico, aims to analyze the relationship between the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies and the lean supply chain. The results show that the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies favors the adoption of the lean supply chain in manufacturing firms. Furthermore, based on the results obtained, we recommend that manufacturing company managers jointly adopt and implement I4.0T and LSC practices, as this will allow them to substantially improve the organization's dynamic capabilities.
