Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic has impacted many countries and with it arose a growing concern of organizations about the vulnerability and low resilience of global supply chains. The incorporation of lean manufacturing in the supply chains enables the systematic reduction of activities that do not add value in an organization and within a chain could improve business performance, which can be widely extended between areas. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the advancement of knowledge about the lean supply chain through bibliometric indicators of scientific production and literature review. Among the research results, the number of publications increased over the years (1996-2021), and the countries that published the most on the topic are Brazil (46 documents), Malaysia (42), and the United States of America (40). The most applied tool was the Value Stream Mapping (VSM). As for future research, there is a need to propose more applied and comprehensive research; study the impact of lean on the supply chain; evaluate the Lean Supply Chain implementation process, and study the relationship between sustainability and Lean Supply Chain Management.
