ISM APPROACH IDENTIFICATION OF KEY BARRIERS AFFECTING LEAN MANUFACTURING SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

Lean manufacturing is said to be a manufacturing culture that is rapidly expanding. Due to intense competition, the businesses are compelled to outperform their rivals. Only those businesses that can use cutting-edge technologies like lean can expand more quickly and keep their place in this cutthroat market. Because management strategies can change and businesses must adopt them based on client demands, they are inherently challenging and uncertain. Lean's primary objective is to fulfill the needs and fulfill the wishes of the consumer. Lean manufacturing is a combination of policies and a culture that may be put into place with the help of management directives. Respect for the employees and waste elimination are the two core principles of lean manufacturing. Once implemented, these elements can enhance effective leadership during implementations.In-depth discussion is provided on the advantages of utilising lean techniques in conception and execution, as well as how managers can engage with questions of culture and leadership.The analysis revealed that changing an organization's culture is just as important as implementing technical tools.The links between the identified lean barriers are developed in this research. Understanding the reciprocal effects of barriers also requires the capacity to identify barriers, such as the driving barrier, that support other barriers and those barriers which are most influenced by other barriers are called dependent barriers. The methodology of ISM is utilized to develop the relationships between these barriers. Based on their driving and dependent powers, lean manufacturing has been categorized. Analyzing the influence of barriers driving and dependent forces in the goal of classification.
