Survival of any industry in this era of globalization & a cut-throat competition becomes extremely difficult.In order to survive, it is necessary to adapt to this ever changing environment. Globalization has made thiscompetition fierce & has also helped in developing techniques & methods that are exceedingly helpful for any industryto flourish even in today’s times. Lean is one such tool that can be applied anywhere & everywhere in industry. Fromshop-floor to the top management, lean has proved its mettle. Application of lean reduces the wastes that areproduced & also helps in streamlining the production system. It focuses on continuous improvement & at the sametime reducing the wastage. Widely used techniques like Kaizen, 5S, Six Sigma, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) are apart of lean. Implementation of lean leads to all around development of any industry. This paper discussescomprehensive literature on implementation of lean manufacturing. The case studies considered in this paper includeswork of international researchers.
