description This paper introduces a pioneering model designed to evaluate the readiness and maturity of smart-lean manufacturing by seamlessly integrating sustainability principles. In the dynamic landscape of Industry 4.0, where digitalization and connectivity redefine manufacturing paradigms, the convergence of smart and lean principles emerges as a powerful strategy. However, existing frameworks often lack a comprehensive approach that incorporates sustainability. Our model addresses this gap, systematically assessing organizations’ smart-lean manufacturing capabilities and their alignment with sustainability goals. The proposed model employs a novel algorithm to assess the relationship between the maturity of smart and lean tools and their economic, social, and environmental contributions. Through a carefully designed process, decision-makers determine correlation ratings, evaluate tool maturity, and calculate contribution gaps, providing a roadmap for prioritized implementation. To illustrate the model’s applicability, an anonymous case study is presented, showcasing the step-by-step application of the algorithm. This contribution is significant for enterprises seeking operational excellence and competitive advantage in the Industry 4.0 era. By incorporating sustainable lean principles into the smart-lean framework, our model guides organizations in enhancing their capacity development and making informed investment decisions. This paper not only advances academic discourse but also offers a practical tool for industry practitioners navigating the complexities of smart-lean manufacturing, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally responsible approach in the pursuit of long-term performance improvements.
