An In a context of strong competition and market uncertainty, the optimization of resource consumption, the agility and robustness of the supply chain constitute more than ever the challenges of first priorities of the survival of businesses today. In this sense the concepts of lean manufacturing present the levers that allow the development of supply chain strategies of the company through reduction of the duration of production cycles, the inventory reduction, the increase of productivity and the optimization the quality of finished products. In this paper, we propose an explanatory model of the impact of lean manufacturing concepts on the competitive priorities through the development of strategies SC in term of agility and robustness, the approach of implementation of the concepts of the lean manufacturing, then the main works of the Lean transformation in particular for the extrusion process. . Finally a comparative study of the impact of lean manufacturing concepts on three different extrusion units.
