Abstract

The lean thinking accentuates on the philosophy of continuously improving performance by systematically eliminating wastes. Lean thinking [1] was introduced to extend the concept from manufacturing floor to various fields like health care, supply chain, service industries, construction, hotel industries etc. Experience shows that adopting lean thinking requires abandoning deeply engrained mainstream management thought routines and this is never easy. As various lean tools when applied to industries results in development. Now this is the time to adopt this valuable tool of development in agriculture field for changing its status. This paper is intended to provide an overview on concept of lean thinking and its applicability for implementation on farming by conferring with various lean tools.
