Abstract | The increasingly growing competition in the market puts pressure on companies, especially Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Maintaining an efficient production system while producing constantly competitive products is a huge responsibility of SME managers. This review aims to describe the implementation of Lean Production among Chinese SMEs. Furthermore, it attempts to explore the challenges that hinder SME managers from fully implementing Lean Production in their respective enterprises. The study will employ literature review in consolidating existing studies on Lean production of SMEs. Using databases such as Google Scholar and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the researcher grouped the studies thematically, and lastly identified the research gaps or future research perspectives which may be valuable to researchers who wish to have an exploration of the Lean Production among SMEs. The themes emerged from the analysis include Profile of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Chinese Context, Importance of Lean Production, Implementation of Lean Production, Challenges to the Implementation of Lean Production, Impacts of Lean Production to Operational Performance. There is substantial literature that explores the implementation of lean manufacturing among SMEs of different industries. However, only a few have explored the adaptation of Lean in Chinese SMEs, thus, there is a need for further exploration of this research gap. |
