It presents a novel multi-layer human-centred conceptual model in line with Lean philosophy which identifies the assembly operator functions and relates them to other production departments, identifying how they would be affected by incorporating new digital technologies. The model shows that assembly operators would only be directly supported by hardware digital technologies, while the production support departments would mainly employ Industry 4.0 software technologies. The work presented here paves the way for developing a methodology for implementing Lean Assembly 4.0. 000109101 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/814225/EU/DIGItal MANufacturing Technologies for Zero-defect Industry 4.0 Production/DIGIMAN4.0$$9This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 814225-DIGIMAN4.0 000109101 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000109101 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000109101 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3069-2736$$aTorralba, M. 000109101 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-7152-4117$$aYagüe Fabra, J.A.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000109101 7102_ $$15002$$2515$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
