| Summary: | The aim of the study was to present a model for assessing lean<br />production in small and medium industries through combination<br />confirmatory factor analysis, clustering and LINMAP Technique. Four<br />questions were raised to achieve the mentioned objective. The research<br />method was descriptive survey. The statistical population included all the<br />companies of small and medium units of basic metals and fabricated<br />industries in East Azerbaijan province witch was added up to 245<br />companies, using random sampling method and Morgan's table the<br />sample size was 181 companies.
