In today's competitive environment, lean manufacturing becomes necessary across all industries. Lean production is a contemporary production technique of the new millennium. Lean manufacturing has varied synonyms just as lean management, lean production. It provides an extensive approach for decreasing the flow of non-value-added activities. Lean manufacturing is an excellent philosophy to minimize the period amongst client orders and supplies are ready for delivery through eradicating waste. Waste (Muda) is implicit like any process or activity that would not be adding value to the finished product or services. Waste is a severe problem emerging in the manufacturing industries; it causes non-value-added steps which do not expedite outstanding products and services. Waste is minimized with the aid of lean manufacturing. It is an integrated system that entails a minimal buffering cost for services offered and manufactured goods. The present research studies in the domain of Lean are examined to comprehend the execution level of several lean tools, benefits of implementation, and obstacles during the execution of Lean are also scrutinized in the reviewing. Several benefits and potential barriers that occur while implementing the lean culture in various organizations have been identified and listed in this paper.
