This project provides the methodology to apply a Benchmarking approach between different companies in the apparel sector, the aim of the project is to evaluate the implementation degree of Lean manufacturing in their productive processes, specifically companies that produce blue jeans, T-shirts and polo shirts. This industry sector is very developed in the city of Medellin and it is one of the most dynamic industries, hence the interest in evaluation. For the Benchmarking methodology development, a questionnaire is needed to be constructed and applied in different companies in the city, the most important result was that, the implementation of Lean manufacturing techniques are not widespread among the industry and only those with big experience as exporters or international brands licensees are more advanced in their application and development.
