Abstract

Companies have been implementing Lean production to improve their business performances; nevertheless many of them have experienced difficulties in applying and then encountering failure. Researchers have identified a large number of barriers to Lean implementation. Understanding the barriers and interactions between them is critical to reach the success of lean. Using the “Interpretive Structural Modeling” (ISM) to analyse the interdependence and interaction between barriers, this study aims to help Vietnamese manufacturer gain deeper understanding in terms of barriers, from which managers can help prioritise and manage them.
