Abstract
The paper attempts to present the big picture of lean consisting of thought process behind lean rather than just a smaller view concentrated on lean tools only. Importance of five elements of lean is discussed to appreciate the synergetic effect of each element on others, towards making an organization lean. Further, a case study on lean manufacturing implementation experience of an Indian manufacturing firm is presented. It has been attempted to present lean manufacturing from a practitioner´s perspective.
