摘要：Lean manufacturing is a management philosophy derived from Toyota Production System (TPS) whichaims to increase the overall values of the product or service provided to the customer through elimination of non-valueadded activities. In the era of globalisation, to remain competitive in the global market, many medium and small sizedIndian industries adopt lean manufacturing. This paper focuses on implementation of lean manufacturing in IndianMSMEs. To examine the implementation, attributes which influence lean manufacturing are obtained and industries’performances on these criteria are rated. In this paper, the methodology selected from many of the multi criteria modelsis the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). In the actual real world situation,because of the unreliable nature of the information gathered, the attributes are often not absolute and are imprecise.These data can be considered as fuzzy and the aim of this paper is to adopt TOPSIS decision making method toproblems with fuzzy data. The rating and weights of each data are expressed as triangular fuzzy numbers. Theseattributes are then normalized and the TOPSIS methodology is carried out to determine the effect of implementing leanmanufacturing technique in an industry. The best industry is identified by fuzzy TOPSIS on the basis of performancetowards the considered attributes is consistent with results identified by TOPSIS.
