Future research
| Theme | Number of studies | Future research suggestions |
|---|---|---|
| Optimising Overall Equipment Effectiveness and Performance Metrics | 30 | OEE's link to business goals and cost efficiency needs a deeper study to grasp operational effectiveness fully |
| Lean Manufacturing and Process Optimisation Strategies | 26 | Further research should investigate the effects of lean and agile on variable production and how these approaches integrate with Industry 4.0 |
| Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Manufacturing | 10 | Future research needs to validate AI-based predictive maintenance and lean strategies across industrial settings |
| Industry 4.0 and Intelligent Production Systems | 7 | Future research should investigate how intelligent manufacturing technologies can be integrated with automation to enhance efficiency, resource use, and productivity in complex systems |
| Digital Twins and Smart Manufacturing Systems | 4 | Future research should link real-time telemetry and AI-driven digital twins to optimise maintenance and automation |
| Emerging Topics in Manufacturing and Operational Excellence | 4 | Future research should be directed toward aligning workforce development with sustainability, backed by economic analysis, to improve efficiency and promote social and ecological integrity |
