Purpose: Lean Management is a widely implemented and very promising methodology for increasing productivity. However, only certain Lean initiatives bring real benefits. This study aims to identify the most important factors for determining successful Lean implementation in organisations. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs the literature review methodology, including a narrative literature review and a systematic one. The text mining method with a specialised software is employed to perform a semantic interrelation analysis. Findings: This study concludes that the primary success condition is top management engagement with Lean transformation in organisations. Lean needs to be treated as a strategic initiative with a real focus on operational performance. However, practically in Lean projects, managers should remember appropriate training, success criteria, effective communication and employee focus. The Lean Culture is also important for Lean success; however, it is not underlined on the practical level. Practical implications: This study provides a practical guide to what managers need to pay attention to when leading a Lean transformation and considers both the general and operational factors for the implementation of Lean tools. Originality/value: The research consolidates Lean critical success factors that are common and specific across industry sectors. This study proposes an original systematic review of Lean success conditions along with an evaluation of their importance.(original abstract)
