Abstract:
Lean Manufacturing is a very powerful productivity improvement tool, and there are several manufacturing strategies that aid Lean. In this study, the Kanban System is examined. Kanban system is a manufacturing strategy used to achieve lean production with reduced cost and minimal inventory. This study seeks to identify the factors hindering Nigerian small and medium enterprises from implementing Kanban. The study was carried out using primary data, which was obtained from the survey method. Companies who participated in this study are SME's. From the result of this study, the following were identified; Top Management commitment, Vendor Participation, Inventory Management and quality improvement are important for Kanban deployment and towards Lean manufacturing.
