This questionnaire is part of my DEMS research, is to be distributed to selected Libyan Textile companies, aiming to evaluate their quality practices and see whether they have the right capabilities to implement lean manufacturing.

This questionnaire is developed based on an extensive literature review focusing on the technical and cultural requirements of lean, lean critical success factors (CSFs), and elements associated with types of wastes which lean works to eradicate.

Furthermore, this questionnaire targets the whole chain of lean, from suppliers, through internal processes/practices, and finally to customers. This should enable us to understand how Libyan companies operate in terms of supplier and customer relations, process flows, the use of scientific tools to deal with problems, top management commitment and leadership, and finally respecting people via involvement, empowerment, reward systems, and training.
