Defining and Developing Measures of Lean Sustainability for Manufacturing Sector

Toyota Manufacturing Company revival after World War II and its survival during 1973 global oil crisis had inspired many manufacturing organisations around the world to initiate lean transformation. However, due to lack of clear understanding of the lean sustainability concept, many manufacturers a...

Industrial Management Toyota Manufacturing Company revival after World War II and its survival during 1973 global oil crisis had inspired many manufacturing organisations around the world to initiate lean transformation.
