Abstract

This article reviews the existing literature on the relationship between lean supply chain management (LSCM) practices and Firm Performance. (LSCM), with its focus on waste reduction and continuous improvement, has proven to be an outstanding approach to improving operational efficiency and competitiveness. The review examines the various dimensions of (LSCM), including waste elimination, value stream mapping, just-in-time inventory management and continuous improvement initiatives. It analyzes the theoretical frameworks underlying (LSCM) and their impact on key performance indicators such as cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery performance and customer satisfaction. The review also examines the contingent factors that influence the effectiveness of (LSCM) in different organizational and industry contexts. It identifies research gaps and suggests future research directions to further improve the understanding of the relationship between lean supply chains and business performance. The results of this review provide valuable insights for managers looking to implement (LSCM) practices and improve their organization's overall performance.
