Digital Twin: An Added Value for Digital CONWIP in the Context of Industry 4.0

Despite technological progress and a large amount of research on Industry 4.0, digital transformation remains complex process that most manufacturers are hesitant to invest in. Interest in Kanban, for example, low compared with traditional which is widely used. This applies the other card-based production control systems, including CONstant Work-In-Process (CONWIP), focus this paper. In an industrial context where digitization 4.0 main trends, one may wonder why CONWIP preferred CONWIP. Following praxeological approach (i.e., study practice instrumentation), article explores strengths weaknesses practice, both its paper electronic versions, while taking into account human dimension. The aim motivate potential users implement it mode show them how Digital Twin-based solution can overcome managerial problems arise enabling improved performance. As illustration, experience feedback from several companies using Twin provided.
