Lean Management is finding increasing application across various industries, and its potential role in artisanal businesses should not be overlooked. Implementing Lean principles in artisan companies has become a vital way to modernize operations and boost competitiveness. Understanding both the operational dynamics of an artisan business and the evolution of Lean practices is essential for successfully transitioning from a traditional artisanal model to a Lean one. This transformation within production units allows for process optimization, waste reduction, and improved efficiency. It serves as a strategic lever for the sustainable development of the sector while preserving the core values of craftsmanship.
