Â
The implementation of Lean practices via various techniques and approaches have provided the room of improvement for manufacturers to increase the manufacturing operations performance. Nevertheless, the lack of understanding in synthesizing each of the strategies can cause the implementation benefits of this practice are unable to be retained. This is possibly due to the weaknesses in identifying the exact domain and the right indicators in strengthening the Lean implementation processes. From the review, planning, development, evaluation and execution are the four primary domains that highly influenced the manufacturer performance in synthesizing the Lean practice. In fact, each of the domains has its own performance indicator in streamlining the strategy outlined in strengthening this practice in manufacturing operations. The ability to fortify all these domains is seen to be able to increase the performance of Lean implementation and ensure the adaptation process becomes smoother and easier for a longer period of time. This will be useful to the manufacturer and academician, primarily in formulating the best approach in establishing the sustainable manufacturing practice via Lean approach.Â
