Why This Matters Now

With rising global competition, cost pressure, and economic uncertainty, manufacturers must do more with less. While traditional Lean methods have proven their value over decades, they often rely on manual data collection, isolated static analysis, and time-intensive processes. In fast-moving environments, this can limit speed, scalability, and responsiveness.

AI-powered Lean builds on traditional Lean methods by introducing data-driven transparency and proactive analytics. It helps overcome the limitations of manual and fragmented value stream analysis, enabling scalable, continuous improvement, yet staying true to the core principles of Lean.

What You Will Learn

Is AI just hype or is it truly transforming how manufacturers apply Lean? AI is emerging as the catalyst to make Lean Manufacturing scalable, faster, and more impactful, without replacing the core Lean principles that have proven themselves for decades.

This webinar will explore where AI delivers real value in Lean Manufacturing and Operational Excellence, where its limits are, and how AI can accelerate Lean methods and make them sustainable at scale.

You’ll gain clarity on:

1. AI in Lean Manufacturing: Hype vs. Reality

• What are the benefits and risks when using AI in a production context?
• What are the types of AI that are relevant for Lean Manufacturing and Operational Excellence_
• What are the prerequisites when using AI in a production context and is data availability really a problem?

2. From Strategy to Execution

• How can AI enhance Lean principles without replacing them?
• Why are Lean initiatives the low-risk, high-impact entry point for AI in manufacturing?
• How to integrate Digital Lean into existing processes and secure workforce buy-in?

3. Real life Examples

• How manufacturers are applying AI in Lean initiatives to accelerate value stream analysis and deliver quick wins
• How companies used IQA, ONIQ’s AI-powered lean manufacturing software, to reduce analysis time by 60%, cut throughput times by 40% and achieve 50% productivity increase
• What real-world use cases reveal about turning AI into measurable production improvements, without complex integrations or lengthy rollouts
