Surveys were conducted between the years 2013 to 2017, in select manufacturing companies, known to practice lean management (LM) in India, called LML (LM Leaders), using the LESAT (Lean Enterprise Self-Assessment Tool) questionnaire, Version 2.0. The results indicate that the status of LM in the LML’s has improved by about 8% between the years. 24 key variables, out of the 68 included by LESAT, which drive the progress of LM, and which explain 57% of the total variation, were identified by Exploratory Factor Analysis. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis reveals that the results of the EFA are appropriate.
