Abstract: Abstract Lean Management and ERP systems are seen as contradicting each other. Lean Management goes for low cost automation, simplicity and high visibility of information flow whereas ERP systems might become complex and intransparent. This article outlines a research project that combines pros of both. This is called Lean ERP. First results of a study showed that it really is a niche market while a surprisingly high number of ERP providers already offer Lean support in their software.
