Organizations that have successfully implemented a few years of TPS may face challenges to continue and sustain their efforts in the long term.

This paper addresses some of the issues surrounding how to sustain lean and TPS in companies.

The tool based approach is important but should not be used as the prime vehicle for continued successful implementation. The people based approach is believed to be the key to the continued sustenance of TPS or lean implementation.
