Abstract The Bangladeshi export-oriented ready-made garments (RMG) industry sector is encountering many issues including low rate of productivity and efficiency, high lead time, high cost of quality, low rate of ‘Right First Time’. These problems at RMG manufacturer’s end ultimately induces unacceptable level of risks and uncertainties to the international customers. Such problems can potentially be tackled through implementation of various lean practices. This study used qualitative research methods to assess the state of implementation of lean practices in the Bangladeshi RMG sector. Some of the important progresses made in implementing lean tools in the industry include increased information exchange using the enterprise resource planning system; pull production; enhanced focus on just-in-time production; and establishment of cross-functional quality inspection teams. Despite the noteworthy progress top management of RMG manufactures in Bangladesh needs to develop a holistic approach, concrete vision, mission and objectives to implement lean practices.
