Three sets of variables namely enterprise characteristics, access to resources, which includes access to electricity, access to land and credit-line while in the last group, certification and competitive development are taken as explanatory variables of lean manufacturing adoption. The chi-square test is employed to investigate the significant association between firm profile and lean manufacturing adoption. Further, a logistic regression model has been applied to determine factors influencing lean manufacturing adoption. The estimates of logistic regression reveal that among firms’ characteristics only legal status, access to resources, credit from financial institutions and access to electricity and from the third set of explanatory variables, certification and upgraded machinery and equipment are identified as significant factors in the adoption of lean manufacturing by textile enterprises. The value of the study lies in analysing factors affecting the adoption of lean manufacturing in textile enterprises which is not explored in the case of developing countries like India using comprehensive World Enterprises Survey data.}, number = {06}, urldate = {2024-12-28}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {Asif, Mohammad and Alam, Firoz and Siddiqui, Mohd Shuaib and Hani, Umme}, month = dec, year = {2024}, pages = {742--750}, }
