| Summary: | In modern day‟s global competition, companies adopting lean management to maximize productivity and quality with lower cost and time spent. But the success rate of lean implementation is far below than assumed. The authors noticed that there is a scope to research onunderstanding lean by definitions.

Hence thispaper aims to eliminate variability in defining lean bycreatinga versatile, easily understandable and acceptable meaningby reviewing contemporary literature and interviewing industry experts. |
