Abstract
The concept of learning factory is taking more and more hold as teaching method, especially after the advent of Industry 4.0 (I4.0). Learning factories have in fact proved to be effective in developing knowledge and skills necessary for students to master the potentialities of adopting new I4.0 technologies in several aspects of production and logistics systems. Driven by these potentialities and aiming to create and spread new knowledge on the use of I4.0 technologies in production and logistics systems, the Production Management group at NTNU, with the support of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, has established in 2018 the Logistics 4.0 (Log4.0) Lab. Since then, the Log4.0 Lab has been used to develop state-of-the-art research investigating the impact of I4.0 technologies on production and logistics systems and to transfer the developed knowledge to the students to render them ready for and attractive to the job market. In this paper, we provide some examples of the use of the Log4.0 Lab for teaching purposes, and specifically we focus on its use with respect to the Lean 4.0 concept, i.e., the integration of I4.0 technologies with Lean practices and concepts.
