This paper makes a brief introduction of the Industry 4.0 and “Made in China 2025” plan and analyzes the relationship between the lean production and intelligent manufacturing. Considering the situation of the manufacture in China, the concept of the lean intelligent production system (LIPS) is proposed. Based on the LIPS, the value stream analysis and design are implemented to the manufacturing process of a contactor product to minimize the work in process and improve the production efficiency.
