Abstract:
Performance measurements systems were rarely adapted to changing manufacturing environments. Lean is one such practice aiming at productivity improvements. Non-cost performance improvements resulting from lean makes the inadequacy of traditional measurements for evaluating performance. Sri Lankan apparel manufacturers adapt lean manufacturing to meet global business challenges. However a study has not been done to develop an appropriate performance measurement system for lean environment in Sri Lankan apparel sector lean practicing companies. This study develops such a model from literature review and interview. Finally it is validated with the existing models.
