| Description |
The SMEs sector plays a significant role in the economic development of any country. Lean Manufacturing Practicesare implemented successfully in many large-scale manufacturing industries but not profoundly in the case ofSmall and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This paper attempts to explore the extent of use of Lean ManufacturingPractices in SMEs and its successful adoption. The authors applied the model developed by Corner (2001) thatdemonstrates lean adoption in SMEs using the Lean Enterprise Vehicle model. The Lean Vehicle approach is asimple and easy method for SMEs that helps to identify the areas where the company has to improve so as to achievea balance that results in successful adoption of lean practices.The degree of lean adoption is assessed based on the four critical business principles such as; Production & InventoryManagement (PIM), Total Quality Management (TQM), Total Organizational Buy-in (TOB), Lean ManufacturingTechniques (LMT). The paper also attempts to prove adoption of lean manufacturing practices that result inbetter operational benefits. The paper provides a direction for further research to assess the level of balance a firmpossesses in each business principle and on which it is deficient.
