Abstract: This study aimed to explore and analyze the multifaceted challenges facing the implementation of Lean Management principles in Yemeni organizations. Given the complex economic, political, and social conditions prevailing in Yemen, adopting modern management methodologies, which aim to reduce waste and maximize value, has become a vital necessity for organizational survival and growth. The study applied the descriptive analytical approach, conducting a review of previous literature on Lean Management and its implementation challenges in developing countries and unstable environments. These challenges are then projected and analyzed specifically within the Yemeni context. The identified challenges are categorized into three main axes, which are cultural and organizational, technological and financial, and human resources-related. The study concluded that challenges in the Yemeni environment are not merely individual obstacles but constitute an integrated and interconnected system requiring comprehensive and innovative solutions. The traditional organizational culture, weak infrastructure, scarcity of financial resources, and lack of trained competencies collectively form a significant barrier to agile transformation. The study presented a set of recommendations directed to organizational leaders, policymakers, and academics, aiming to build a framework that helps overcome these challenges and paves the way for the effective adoption of Lean Management in Yemeni organizations.
