Abstract

This manuscript reports preliminary results from a study examining the status of Lean implementation and the need for Lean transformation support among participants in two segments of Virginia's manufacturing industry. A census survey with 180 responses (population size 1033) was conducted and the results confirm previous research that enterprises in these industries are not uniformly aware of Lean and its potential benefits. Enterprises also have implemented Lean to varying degrees or not at all. Interestingly, small enterprises indicated a lower need for Lean implementation support from third parties than did medium or large enterprises.
