Abstract
A number of publications exists which investigate the influence from the lean bundles TPM, TQM, JIT and EMS on manufacturing performance on an abstract level. This paper examines the relations between these lean bundles on a single element level to support the decision which lean principles to focus on. The result is that different lean principles have a diverging degree of interlinkage and thus influence other single principles directly or indirectly. Eight single principles could be identified which are likely to have the biggest influence on the overall manufacturing performance.
