Abstract :
This paper focus on the key variables that limit the penetration ability of Lean´s methodologies in industrial contexts, and thus should be considered prior to any Lean implementation. Based on a extensive literature review and experts focus group, it is presented aframework that organizes the main criteria to be considered and suggest a decision-making process in order to determine whether Lean methodologies should be implemented or not. The framework encompasses a holistic view that includes both a strategic and an operational dimension to be considered with a certain relative weight. The objective is to guide any decision maker through a process of evaluating whether Lean Management practices suit or not his organization´s industrial context.
