Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to assess the levelness of lean practices and principles that contribute to adoption of lean in pump industries in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and empirically test the results by framing a Structural equation model in Visual PLS. This research approach follows a theoretical model by linking the important lean metrics that contribute to lean adoption through a questionnaire survey and assess their reliability and relationship of the responses on an ordinal scale with respect to the given constructed variables through convergent validity analysis in Visual PLS software. The approach follows a Structural equation modeling technique to empirically test the theoretical model by determining the relationship of the various responses of the respondents and the constructed variable to identify those prime lean metrics among the many practices that exist in the organization. This research is concerned only to pump industries. Further this research could be conducted in other manufacturing sectors that include machine tool, automotive, electrical and electronics and others of its kind.
