or other aspects below the requirements of customer.
In this technique, decision matrix method is used to find out the performance score for different alternatives and then value
score with the help of the cost of the alternatives. This comparison will give the team best workable solution for the problem
at lowest cost without degrading the quality or value or the product.

Lean is a management methodology that provides the perfect medicine for surviving and thriving during bleak trading
conditions as well as optimizing shrunken budgets. Japan in 1950s.in a country rebuilding its shattered post war economy,
the Toyota motor company developed a production system that has underpinned the company's success and given rise to the
lean movement. Toyota production system rejected the belief that productivity could be raised by working longer, harder
and faster and presented the just in time alternative. This focused on delivery the right products to the right place at the right
time anything not involved in achieving that objective was deemed suspect waste.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss a survival strategy for industry in tough time by means of lean principles and
philosophies. Tough time is the time for industries to follow lean guidelines and to look in to their business chain from raw
material to end customer in order to remove all types of waste. The paper provides some real help as to how to survive in
recession as there is little published research on this topic. This paper addresses a framework for studying lean thinking, as
well as principles of lean production, strategy for lean implementation and the 8 types of waste.
Keywords: Lean thinking, waste, customer focus.

The management of technology is acquiring a distinctive character and increasingly being recognized as an activity that
complements other managerial functions in providing the necessary inputs to the decision-making process. Few factors
which are helpers in the implementation of technology management which are known as enablers. The objective of this
paper is to developed the relationships among the identified TM enablers. Further, this paper is also helpful to understand
mutual influence of enablers and identify those enablers which support other enablers (driving enabler) and also those
enablers which are most influenced by other enablers(dependent enabler ). The interpretive structure modeling (ISM)
methodology is used to evolve mutual relationship among these enablers. TM enablers have been classified, based on their
driving power and dependence power.
Keywords:Technology Management (TM), Enablers, dependence power, driving power, Interpretive Structural Modelling
(ISM).
