摘要

Failures in lean implementation tend to stem from a lack of understanding of sector-specific contextual factors and organizational factors. Current resources on lean implementation such as where to get started or how to address the contextual factors are limited, and no framework for answering these questions while catering to the needs of small and medium sized food processing enterprises. This paper propose a systematic lean implementation framework for food processing SMEs based on a longitudinal mixed research methodology. The key contribution of this paper is a framework, "House of Lean", that takes into consideration the needs and characteristics of food processing SMEs.
