Track: Supply Chain Management

Abstract

The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify the barriers and critical success factors that influence in the implementation of Lean Supply Chain Management (LSCM) practices in the industry. Through the analysis systematic literature review, it is hoped to identify the main gaps related to LSCM implementation in literature and industry and also discusses the relevance of research in this topic for indicating the future research direction. A SLR method was used, developed and determined. It is about 48 research articles were analyzed. The content of the present literature was reviewed, critically analyzed and synthesized from the perspective of barrier and critical success factors that influence the implementation of LSCM. Based on the extensive systematic review of the literature, we discovered the consistency data between Barriers and Critical Sucess Factors. This study strengthens the body of knowledge on the issue and consolidates the key LSCM activities, extending previous studies on LSCM barriers and critical success factors associated with its implementation. The clear identification of these topics can allow researchers and practitioners to predict occasional problems and to set the right standard for the implementation of LSCM.
