Abstract

Increasing efficiency and reducing costs in production is currently a very desirable trend. In many areas, we can see the trend of introducing or improving lean techniques and tools, the task of which is to get as close as possible to achieving the ideal state in terms of customer satisfaction and the elimination of any losses. The fundamental benefit of introducing the lean production methodology into the corporate philosophy is the constant effort to achieve perfection and the periodic application of improvement. In this context, lean management is based on the condition that there is no level of perfection with which the company should be satisfied and which cannot be further developed. The introduction of the Industry 4.0 philosophy and the development of information technologies brought new possibilities for lean management. It offers new tools and options that can increase the efficiency of management and the achievement of set goals. In the presented contribution, we will focus on the possibilities of using augmented reality tools for selected areas of lean management. Augmented reality is a key technology enabling the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept. This technology makes it possible to bridge the gap between the physical world and the increasingly important digital environment. We can see its application in many areas.
