Abstract
This chapter will focus on various case studies relating to the failure and success of various industries in the fashion and textile manufacturing sector. From the earlier chapters (Chaps. “Lean Manufacturing: Case Studies from Fashion and Textile Industries”–“Digital Technologies for Lean Manufacturing”, it has been clearly mentioned that the implementation of various lean tools such as Kaizen, Muda, 5S and Kanban can help the traditional industries to improve their productivity and efficiency by reducing waste. This chapter will discuss the implementation of lean manufacturing by some of the fashion and textile industries and its impact on productivity and efficiency. The chapter has been divided into three sections for better flow and understanding. The first section will discuss some case studies focusing on the failure of some of the industries from Africa and India due to not implementing of lean manufacturing tools. The second section will focus on the case studies focusing on the success of some of the fashion and textile industries by adopting lean manufacturing tools. Finally, the third and last section will focus on the future directions and conclusions of this chapter.
