  • Many companies have started a Lean Transformation (LT), but not all of them have achieved a successful transformation. In fact, based on current literature, the rate of success can be considered low. This paper will analyze and conclude on main barriers and success factors to achieve a successful LT, based on two sources: current literature and interviews with leaders working for companies involved in an LT.
