Abstract: Many organisations are using lean tools with Industry 4.0 technology these days to enhance the sustainability of their lean manufacturing systems. This article contributes by combining a lean tool (modified FMEA) with Industry 4.0 technologies to improve the dependability of lean systems. Under the four lean subsystems of personnel, equipment, materials, and schedules, a redesigned FMEA framework incorporating Industry 4.0 technologies is proposed. From the mapping of lean wastes, inventory accounts for 39% of total waste, overproduction accounts for 23% of total waste, defects account for 22% of total waste, non-utilised talent accounts for 16% of total waste based on RAV calculation from modified FMEA table. Also based on RPN calculation from the modified FMEA table, Inventory accounts for 45% of total waste, overproduction accounts for 23%, of total waste, defects account for 19% of total waste, non-utilised talent accounts for 13% of total waste.
