Abstract

Production-oriented enterprises face inherent constraints such as information lag, data silos, and decision response delay in the process of implementing lean production management, which limit further improvements in waste identification, synchronization control, and continuous improvement capabilities. Digital informatization, with its technical attributes of data collectability, transmissibility, computability, and closed-loop capability, provides a new technical pathway to overcome the above constraints. This study explores the coupling mechanism between digital informatization and lean production management from a theoretical perspective, analyzes the structural evolution of lean management capabilities driven by digital informatization through information entropy reduction, digital twins, and continuous data flow, and then designs enhancement pathways including optimization of acquisition nodes, heterogeneous data fusion, and construction of decision rules driven by real-time analysis. The study proposes that digital informatization, by reshaping the information flow topology and interface reconstruction, enables lean management capabilities to transition from discrete improvement events to continuous online optimization, thereby forming an adaptive lean production control loop.
