Abstract

This paper aims to recognise lean manufacturing (LM) two dimensions namely soft (SLM) and hard lean (HLM). It empirically examines the linkages between these perspectives and contributes to operations management literature by focusing on the aspects managers attempt to embrace in their industries. It censoriously examines these practices as scarce research discussed these together. Besides, the importance of their adoption is reflected and relevant key factors introduced. To achieve this, a conceptual model is established and its applicability explored. The postulated hypothesis is further tested through data gathered from Palestinian industries through the developed questionnaire and both SPSS 23 and AMOS 23 are considered for analysis. Findings imply that both can be found together and their linkages are supported. Manufacturers may apply these models to establish a better implementation environment in their manufacturing facilities using the appropriate integrated LM frameworks.
