Lean Management is equally applicable to non-manufacturing environments as well. Some of the non-manufacturing sectors where the lean has been successfully implemented include:

  • Service industry

  • Software industry

  • Healthcare industry

  • Finance industry

  • Product engineering

  • Travel and entertainment

  • and many other industries
