Abstract


Lean 4.0 integrates lean principles with Industry 4.0 technologies, requiring technological, managerial, human, and organizational support for successful implementation. This study examines factors influencing Lean 4.0 critical success factors (CSFs) and their impact on implementation success in technology-based startups. A quantitative explanatory approach involved 113 respondents from startups in Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using five-point Likert questionnaires and analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4. Results indicate that worker-enabled technology, IT-enabled technology, management factors, Lean 4.0 factors, employee well-being, organizational culture, and digital readiness positively and significantly influence CSFs. Digital readiness demonstrates the strongest effect (? = 0.261). Furthermore, CSFs significantly influence successful implementation (? = 0.808, p < 0.001), explaining 65.3% of its variance. These findings highlight the importance of prioritizing digital readiness alongside employee capabilities, organizational culture, managerial support, and lean-digital integration to achieve sustainable Lean 4.0 implementation
