Abstract

This study explores the contribution of lean practices in a manufacturing firm in Karachi towards sustainable performance while considering organizational culture as a moderator. Lean approaches benefit firms' social, environmental, and financial aspects, influencing their endurable performance. Manufacturing firms nowadays globally are focused on lean implementation. A structured questionnaire was distributed among employees of the Small and Medium Enterprises in Karachi that fit in the category and belonged to the manufacturing enterprises. A sample of 200 respondents was analyzed using the partial least squares technique (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that Human resource practices, Supplier relationships, and organizational culture significantly affect sustainable performance; furthermore, organizational culture moderated the supplier relationships' impact on sustainable performance. Thesis outcomes contribute to the analysis of the study, broadening the writings on lean manufacturing and sustainable performance with a Moderation of Organizational Culture. The finding of the thesis possibly will be used as a motivation for firms in Karachi to implement Lean approaches as companies that adopt Lean practices globally have the result of improving firms' endurable performance through lean manufacturing approaches.
