Lean manufacturing in developing countries: evidence from Indian SMEs
TLDR
In this article, the authors investigate the adoption of lean production in India and examine the lean practices deployed by the SMEs, and present the findings of four SMEs in India that have implemented lean strategy to drive significant improvement in manufacturing performance.Abstract:
India is emerging as a new manufacturing destination and many companies are seeking ways to increase the value of their products and services by eliminating unnecessary processes and wasteful practices from their production systems. The powerful lean manufacturing approach that has proved successful as an operations model in developed economies, as well as in some large Indian companies, is now increasingly being recognised by the small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). The purpose of this research is to investigate the adoption of lean production in India and to examine the lean practices deployed by the SMEs. The case study methodology was utilised and this article presents the findings of four SMEs in India that have implemented lean strategy to drive significant improvement in manufacturing performance.read more
