Lean Practices Pertaining Hard and Soft Factors in Service Sectors

Many of Lean manufacturing tools and practices are being implemented in the different sectors with and without being realized nowadays. This research objective is double folded. Employing 10 predictor variables, the relationship and impact of Lean practices on Lean performance was identified. The...

description Many of Lean manufacturing tools and practices are being implemented in the different sectors with and without being realized nowadays. This research objective is double folded. Employing 10 predictor variables, the relationship and impact of Lean practices on Lean performance was identified.
