Strumenti di valutazione Lean: una revisione della letteratura

Lean assessment is an important approach for understanding the lean performance of an organization. Indeed, any improvement and implementation of lean should be based on an assessment of the current state and measurement of the distance to the desired level. In this thesis, the scientific literature about lean assessment is reviewed and a comprehensive framework of lean assessment qualitative, quantitative, and hybrid tools proposed to date is presented. A content analysis of significant literature is conducted to summarize the main characteristics and structure of lean assessment tools, and finally a new matrix of classification for lean assessment tools which are developed based on the adoption of lean practices (LP) is proposed.
