This study has been undertaken to identify the Challenges & Opportunities in Lean Manufacturing Implementation in Micro scale Foundry. The foundries represented the archetypal foundry denoted by 3 Ds ie; Dirty, Dark and Dangerous based on conventional processes and manpower. This study explains the efforts to change from Haphazardly & Disorganized Layout to a Designed Production Flow with Increased Production Rate. This Study Aims Firstly on How Many Challenges & Opportunities to be perceived during Successful Lean Implementation Journey. Second, to Create Awareness about Productivity Improvement in Micro & Small Industries by Quality Tools Implementation & Third Introduction & Awareness about Lean Manufacturing.
