Validating the relationship between lean dimensions and wastes: a pilot study of Malaysian industries

Lean production or lean manufacturing has become one of the most well-known paradigms for the elimination of waste in the manufacturing industries. Past research in lean shows that there are some set of techniques, tools and practices which have been applied to certain levels across firms according...
