Abstract

Lean manufacturing has transformed from being more than just a production philosophy advocated by Toyota to an international approach to efficiency, waste reduction and competitiveness. Although lean practices have been organized in developed economies like Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, their use in developing economies has not been widely addressed, especially in the context of the manufacturing industry in Nigeria. The current study examined the impact of lean manufacturing on the operational performance of Dangote Cement Factory, which is one of the largest industrial companies in Nigeria. Quantitative research design was adopted whereby the survey strategy was adopted whereby structured questionnaires were administered to the operational staff. Based on the estimated sample size, 94% of the responses were obtained and analyzed using IBM SPSS and the PROCESS macro.
