| Description: | Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review is to critically analyse pharmaceutical industry case studies on the implementation of Lean 4.0 methodologies to synthesize key lessons, benefits, and best practices. The goal is to inform decisions and guide investments in related technologies for enhancing quality, compliance, efficiency and responsiveness across production and supply chain processes. Design/methodology/approach: The article utilized a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology following five phases: formulating research questions, locating relevant articles, selecting and evaluating articles, analysing and synthesizing findings, and reporting results. The SLR aimed to critically analyse pharmaceutical industry case studies on Lean 4.0 implementation to synthesize key lessons, benefits and best practices. Findings: Key findings reveal recurrent efficiency gains, obstacles around legacy system integration and data governance as well as necessary operator training investments alongside technological upgrades. On average, quality assurance reliability improved by over 50% while inventory waste declined by 57% based on quantified metrics across documented initiatives synthesizing robotics, sensors and analytics. Research Limitations: As a comprehensive literature review, findings depend on available documented implementations within the search period rather than direct case evaluations. Reporting bias may also skew towards more successful accounts. Practical Implication: Synthesized implementation patterns, performance outcomes and concealed pitfalls provide pharmaceutical leaders with an evidence-based reference guide aiding adoption strategy development, resource planning and workforce transitioning crucial for Lean 4.0 assimilation. Originality/Value: This systematic assessment of pharmaceutical Lean 4.0 adoption offers an unprecedented perspective into the real-world issues, dependencies and modifications necessary for successful integration absent from conceptual projections or isolated case studies alone until now. |
