“…According to the survey's results, in order to achieve success in a process of implementing the Lean philosophy in Colombian companies, it is necessary to have the commitment of investors and the organizations' top management. According to León, Marulanda, and González [42], "Regarding small and medium-sized companies, Lean experts should be consulted to train both owners, leaders, and supervisors in the Lean key aspects, and these latter should be the ones who carry out the training and coaching to operators and employees in general. Good leadership ensures and drives skills creation or improvement in work teams, allowing the implementation to be enhanced with available tools, generating innovative ideas, and integrating new technologies into the process.…”

“…De acuerdo a (León et al, 2017) expresa que la filosofía Lean, es un modelo o método de organización y gestión del sistema de fabricación, personas, materiales, máquinas y métodos que mediante la mejora continua se orienta en la búsqueda de la calidad, el servicio y la eficiencia, de igual manera expresa (Vargas et al, 2016) que esta metodología tiene como objetivo eliminar el desperdicio o despilfarro, entendiéndose como toda actividad que no aporta valor al producto o servicio.…”

“…Therefore, the adoption of LM requires some level of adaptation in order to render it sustainable and useful to an organization, however, there is scarce evidence that such lean adaptations have been thoroughly studied in Colombian industry, and if the core principles of LM have been retained through the process. Instead, there is evidence pointing out that most of the early lean adopters in Colombia have done as a requirement from their customers, especially those working with automotive companies (Arrieta et al, 2011;Sanchez, 2017), or trough government founded initiatives (González Gaitán et al, 2018;León et al, 2017), which leads to a more constricted lean implementation. This approach seems to be consistent with the implementation of LM on other developing countries (Rajagopalan and Solaimani, 2019;Walter and Paladini, 2019), prompting authors such as Antony et al (2021) and Psomas (2021) to call for more country-related LM research in order to address the above mentioned issues.…”

“…Also, in industrial contexts, some terminology is often adapted in particular sectors which means that the literal translation of technical terms of lean manufacturing practices or performance related indicators is not necessarily understood as the same in a different country or industrial sector (Hyrkäs et al, 2003;Ketokivi and Schroeder, 2004;Machuca et al, 2011). Finally, some terminology (especially regarding lean manufacturing practices) is often widespread in its original language, as it is the case of Kaizen (almost universally understood as a continuous improvement practice), or SMED (single minute exchange of dies), which are terms commonly used in Spanish-speaking companies even by non-English-speaking persons (Arrieta et al, 2011;González Gaitán et al, 2018;León et al, 2017).…”
