Abstract: Notable evidence is that the concepts of lean manufacturing in Japan were deliberately imported by the US and European manufacturers from the early 1980's to seek to duplicate the performance of their introduction in the Japanese automotive industry. Still, Krafcik (1989) recognised that high efficiency depends on lean output. Lean Production is accepted as a gold standard in industrial organisational management by Hofer, Eroglu, and Hofer (2012). Recently, lean technology has proved its utility well outside its initial industry; it is now used not only in manufacturing but also in service industries in a number of diverse sectors (Furlan et al. 2011a; Boyle and Scherrer-Rathje 2009).
