One of the most widely recognized strategies for achieving production adjustments is the implementation of lean manufacturing principles. Lean manufacturing, which emerged from the Toyota Production System, focuses on minimizing waste while maximizing productivity. A key tenet of lean is the identification and elimination of non-value-added activities in the production process. For instance, a study by Womack and Jones (2003) highlighted that organizations adopting lea
