Challenging and competitive business environment has prompted the automotive industry to restructure its manufacturing
practices. Nowadays, Lean Manufacturing (LM) has been widely implemented in the automotive industry. LM supported the
manufacturing companies, particularly automotive manufacturers in becoming world class manufacturers through various
lean practices. However, lean implementation faced various obstacles such as the lack of management commitment and
support, the absence of organizational communication, employees’ attitude and many more. It is also indicated that lean
implementation success factors are not merely due to technical practices but also with the integration of non-technical
aspects such as human-related practices. This paper aims to investigate the Soft Lean Practices that are necessary for the
successful implementation of the Lean Production System (LPS) in the Malaysian Automotive SMEs. The result of this paper will
provide a detailed review of Soft Lean Practices within the LM literature that should be considered by the organizations when
implementing lean. A framework was also developed through an extensive review of Soft Lean literature.
