Abstract	The concept of Lean Manufacturing has gained widespread recognition as an effective approach for improving efficiency, reducing waste, and enhancing overall productivity within the manufacturing industry. Despite its promising benefits, numerous organizations encounter challenges when attempting to implement Lean principles successfully. This research aims to identify and analyze the barriers that impede the smooth implementation of Lean practices in manufacturing companies. To achieve this, a comprehensive literature review is conducted to gain insights into the theoretical foundations of Lean Manufacturing and the common obstacles faced during its adoption. Primary data is collected through surveys, interviews, and case studies from a diverse sample of manufacturing companies that have either attempted or successfully implemented Lean principles. The study identifies various categories of barriers, including organizational, cultural, technological, and human factors. These barriers are further examined to determine their impact on Lean implementation projects, their interrelations, and how they differ across various industries and organizational sizes. The findings shed light on the most prevalent barriers, such as resistance to change, lack of management support, inadequate employee training, and misalignment with existing organizational culture. Moreover, the study uncovers potential strategies and best practices to overcome these obstacles and facilitate successful Lean implementation. By understanding and addressing these barriers, manufacturing companies can improve their ability to implement Lean practices effectively, enhancing their competitiveness, reducing operational costs, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The research contributes valuable insights to the field of Lean Manufacturing and offers practical recommendations to support organizations in navigating the challenges associated with Lean implementation.
