“…The authors presented a case study of an SME manufacturing electrical power distribution and control equipment and demonstrated that the implementation of lean reduced flow time and increased service level with on-time delivery performance improving from 55 to 80 %. Similarly, Upadhye et al (2010) implemented kaizen, just in time (JIT), VSM, 5S, statistical quality control (SQC), preventive maintenance, total employee involvement, and single minute exchange of dies (SMED) in an SME and found reduced rejection rate, inventory, and cost and increased OEE, productivity, and ontime delivery. Vinodh et al (2011) recorded increased OEE and reduced machine downtime, rejection rate and inventory after implementing cellular manufacturing, TPM, 5S, total quality management (TQM), setup time reduction, and kanban lean practices in an Indian automotive valves manufacturer.…”

Purpose: Although lean thinking is deemed to be a gold standard of modern production management, a lot of scepticism still remains regarding its applicability in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This paper aims to understand the perception of lean in SMEs and establish the relationship between lean adoption and operational performance.Design/Methodology/Approach: With the help of a survey, data was collected from 425 SMEs in India and analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM).

Lean manufacturing is a production strategy to eliminate waste and nonvalue added activities in a process while maximizing the value added tasks as required by the customer. The adoption of lean approaches in India has been much slower. Indian industries find many challenges in adopting lean thinking as a standard manufacturing practice. it has been proved from certain studies that implementation of lean thinking in manufacturing sector is highly useful in terms of elimination of waste, proper utilization of workspace, proper organization of workforce, to reduce inventory, to increase productivity and to increase customer satisfaction. This study will guide the Indian industries in selecting lean tools based on the characteristics and expected wastes. The current study comprise of a survey of Indian manufacturing industries. The survey will be useful to explore the current status of lean initiations in Indian manufacturing industries and to prioritize lean practices which are highly useful.
