The typology of lean tools is provided. It distinguishes three main categories, which are identification and analysis of waste, improvement implementation, and process monitoring. The set of lean tools was analyzed in terms of information requirements. On the other hand, the typology of wireless technologies was discussed including RFID and Wi-Fi. The literature review of wireless technology applications for support of lean tools was conducted. The literature was systematically reviewed from the point of view of specific technologies and specific tools which were the subjects of the analyzed publications. Both typologies were synthesized to establish a framework for wireless technologies applications in the context of lean manufacturing implementation. It also could serve as a guideline for lean practitioners and implies future research directions. This paper is an extended version of paper published by [1].}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Wireless technologies for lean manufacturing – a literature review}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/104010/PDF/3-Gladysz.pdf}, keywords={lean manufacturing, Toyota Production System, wireless technology, RFID, Radio Frequency Identification}, }
