A logical first step for many manufacturers when embarking on a transformation towards digitalization of their production system is to acquire technologies that captures data in real-time to help monitor and improve machines and production performance. Nevertheless, the presence of real-time digital data will not in itself lead to significant improvement in production performance. It also requires manufacturers to enable shop floor workers to generate insights from these real-time captured data to frame and resolve problems. As such, this action research paper presents the outcome of a learning intervention’s first action learning cycle at the Danish Roof-top windows manufacturer VELUX. The intervention aimed to institute a lean learning system to enable the further successful digital transformation of the company’s production system.
