Abstract
Lean manufacturing is becoming the frontrunner in solving manufacturing-related problems. To sustain the lean journey, assessing lean readiness is the appropriate way to implement it in any industry. In this research, lean readiness is evaluated in a case study industry using a framework model. It consists of two dimensions: the critical success factors, and the barriers. Using force field analysis, the conflicting nature of these dimensions was portrayed. With the help of fuzzy logic, a hierarchical fuzzy system was developed to evaluate lean readiness. The result of this method opens up a new direction for managers to identify lean readiness.
