Few organizations achieve good performance of Lean implementation according to the Toyota model. Several authors agree that the principal reason of Lean failure is associated with the Organizational Culture. This article aims to explore an ideal Lean Culture, based on a Literature review and by a theoretical association of the Competing Values Framework (CVF) with The 14 Principles of the Toyota Way. The results show that the ideal Lean Culture would be more associated with the Hierarchy Culture. The contribution of this paper relies on inciting a discussion about Organizational Culture ideal for the implementation of Lean practices.

For decades, production has relied on the old principle mass production invented by Henry Ford where parts are being produced in batches and pushed to the market hoping for a customer to buy. Things are based on forecasting and sales were too optimistic. This system disconnects the factory from the customer. The factory is producing only to a forecast. The production at the supplying (assembly) process also called customer process is being regulated by a schedule.
