description The following research seeks to classify, analyze, and determine the barriers that affect the implementation of lean manufacturing from a socio-technical approach that allows organizations to understand how different socio-technical actors influence the results that could be obtained. The article contributes to the literature because it emphasizes the need to address a holistic social and technical approach to address barriers to implementing lean manufacturing. The research methodology is a critical literature review of the barriers to implementing lean manufacturing projects from a socio-technical perspective. The articles selected from the Scopus database were analyzed to understand the different relationships and interactions from a socio-technical perspective. The research emphasizes the importance of considering a sociotechnical vision in implementing lean manufacturing projects because it is a production system that integrates an organization’s social and technical actors. The article contributes theoretically and practically by proposing a vision to address the barriers in the implementation process.
