Subject. This article discusses the issues of transformation of lean manufacturing principles in the context of industrial digitalization.
Objectives. The article aims to form and substantiate a system of digital lean manufacturing principles, reflecting the modern management architecture.
Methods. For the study, I used systems and comparative analyses, and a structural and functional approach.
Results. The article presents a author-developed classification of digital lean manufacturing principles (adapted, modified, and new ones), and it identifies the manufacturing essential features and levels of implementation.
Conclusions. The principles of digital lean manufacturing form the foundation of a new management paradigm, combining value-oriented thinking with the capabilities of intelligent digital technologies, which contributes to improved efficiency and competitiveness of industrial enterprises.

Keywords: digital lean manufacturing, industrial digitalization, classification of principles, essential characteristics, digital transformation
