There are numerous publications on Lean Manufacturing (LM) which extensively describe specific tools used in the lean framework, the necessary steps towards implementation of the concept as well as benefits following from its implementation. However, it appears that despite the expected positive results, the companies which implement LM increasingly cease further activity in this area. The causes have not been fully recognized and the reason for the situation can be both the superficial knowledge of the LM as well as a lack of consistency in the decisions taken. Thus the aim of this Article is to identify the barriers to their introduction among the companies which are currently struggling with the LM implementation and the companies which have already completed it. Based on a conducted CATI survey, an attempt has been made to identify both the internal and external barriers. Furthermore, the expertise of companies was examined in terms of knowledge of lean tools, including the awareness of the expected benefits from Lean Manufacturing implementation. The study involved Polish manufacturing companies operating in the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship.(author's abstract)
