Lean Implementation in Manufacturingoffers a comprehensive exploration of the organisational dynamics that shape the success or failure of Lean methodologies in manufacturing environments. Moving beyond the technical aspects of Lean, this book positions it as a holistic management philosophy that demands deep cultural and structural transformation. Through a mixed-method research approach—including a systematic literature review, Delphi study, and Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping—the authors identify the critical success factors and persistent barriers to Lean adoption. Central to this analysis is the role of human resource management, with particular attention to leadership commitment, employee engagement, and the challenges of training and resistance to change.

As industries face mounting pressure from globalisation and technological disruption, the need for operational efficiency has never been greater. Yet, many organisations struggle to embed Lean principles sustainably due to overlooked human-centric challenges. This volume bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering actionable insights for business leaders, policymakers, and scholars. It underscores the importance of investing in workforce development and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, providing a strategic framework for navigating the complexities of Lean transformation in today's competitive manufacturing landscape.
