Abstract

The adoption of Lean Production practices by growing numbers of organizations and the tangible benefits in applying them, highlights the vast potential of operational and economic gains that companies can achieve by implementing Lean Management. Following Stone's [2012] segmentation of Lean literature into time phases, we titled the five-year period 2009-2013 as the "inflation" phase, since about 50% of the total count of academic articles on the phenomenon ever published were during this period. The author also reviews recent literature regarding the concepts of "agile manufacturing", often seen as the next step after "lean manufacturing" in the evolution of Operations Management and of lean supply chain and agile supply chain management, being closely relevant to both.(
