Abstrakt: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) deploying lean practices was lagging in the manufacturing sector. The purpose of this study is to develop an effective LM implementation model for SMEs, which serves as a practical approach for evaluating the manufacturing performance. In this regard, the authors developed a model called „System for Small and Medium Implementing Lean‟ (S-SMILE). Based on literature reviews and expert opinion, it consists of twelve key critical success factors (CSFs) that are derived from lean conceptual input. Based on the mean score, intended from the views of managers and stakeholders, the study revealed that leadership and management commitment play a critical role in the accomplishment of lean implementation in SMEs. The remaining eleven CSFs should be given priority to improve performance in manufacturing operations. This comprehensive model may meet the needs of managers and stakeholders in conditions of achieving cost of manufacturing, stock turnover, productivity, customer satisfaction, and timely delivery.
