The annual (year 2001) survey of manufacturers conducted by IndustryWeek magazine, and reviewed by a national engineering society, indicates that the average manufacturing company is "just beginning its journey to adopt lean strategies". The review confirms there is a small but definite increasing trend in the movement towards the adoption of lean manufacturing techniques within U.S. plants. However, the survey also confirms that many companies are "struggling to adapt their manufacturing processes to lean principles".
