DONDOFEMA, R.A.; MATOPE, S. y AKDOGAN, G.. Lean applications: a survey of publications with respect to South African industry . S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2017, vol.28, n.1, pp.103-113. ISSN 2224-7890. http://dx.doi.org/10.7166/28-1-1660.
South African industry faces immense global competition from developed countries such as Germany probably because of the adoption of lean manufacturing techniques by the latter. This study is a survey on publications concerning implementation and adoption of lean manufacturing in South Africa. To assess South Africa with regards to research publications on lean manufacturing, a benchmark exercise was conducted with Germany for the period 2014 to 2015. The study concludes by highlighting the gaps identified during this survey and recommendations.
