In today’s competitive environment, organizations are seeking to improve their position in the market. Lean manufacturing is an effective tool for elevating the competitiveness of organizations based on the fact that each can find its own way of improvement. Technology improvement is considered to be one of lean manufacturing’s dimensions. Technology is defined as the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems, or methods of organization, with the aim of solving a problem or creating an artistic perspective. A dynamic model could be appropriate for analyzing the interrelated behavior of technology and lean manufacturing. Despite the fact that there are plenty of papers and case studies on the applications of Lean manufacturing in organizations, only a few are focused on the dynamic aspects of the system. In this paper, a dynamic model is presented in which Lean manufacturing is linked with technology by causal relationships. The notable advantage of the presented model is the ability to alter a parameter to find how it affects others parameters by considering key results. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that the results of such analysis could somewhat improve the efficiency of technology improvement on Lean manufacturing. 1. Introduction Lean philosophy has been prevalent in the manufacturing industry during recent decades. However, even today, a large number of manufacturers are struggling to successfully embrace Lean principles. Results of the Aberdeen Group’s report on lean scheduling indicate that, among manufacturers, those who adopted Lean software applications have exceeded many of their competitors, thus making Lean software adoption vital for manufacturers. What manufacturers require is to standardize Lean processes across their enterprise by establishing a Lean center and providing factory floor data as actionable intelligence, in order to successfully leverage their investments in technology [1]. In today’s competitive world with its vast and rapid changes in scientific-technical areas and continuous challenges in economical-social systems, there are still many firms with a suitable position. These firms are flexible, pure, and customer oriented due to proper use of available facilities, suitable utilization of new sources for producing goods, and introduction of desirable services with suitable quality. Using philosophies like Lean manufacturing and employing tools such as technology, firms can establish an efficient and stable system to improve their weak points and protect their strong points (recoverable areas), enabling
