Abstract : This literature review examines the relationship between Lean manufacturing practices and organizational performance across various industries. By analyzing recent research from 2020 to 2024, this study synthesizes findings on key Lean practices, their implementation challenges, and their impact on different aspects of organizational performance. The review highlights the evolving nature of Lean manufacturing in the context of Industry 4.0 and sustainable manufacturing. It also identifies gaps in current research and suggests directions for future studies. The findings indicate that while Lean practices generally positively influence organizational performance, their effectiveness depends on various factors including organizational culture, technological turbulence, and integration with other management approaches.

Keywords : Lean Manufacturing, Organizational Performance, Industry 4.0, Sustainable Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, Just-In-Time, Total Quality Management, Value Stream Mapping, Operational Efficiency
