Sustainability has received significant attention of firms.by reducing resources wastes and increasing organizations’ overall performance Small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing sector and developing economies are growing well and contributing a major proportion in total manufacturing yield. Past researches explored that lean manufacturing (LM) practices and sustainability can achieve excellent results by implementing them altogether. Hence, SMEs need to adopt sustainable lean manufacturing practices as this can address economic and environmental concerns together. However, the prior investigations have not thoroughly explored the success factors for sustainable LM implementation in SMEs. This provides the motivation for the present study. Thus, in this paper most relevant critical success factors (CSF) for sustainable lean manufacturing are identified with the help of existing literature and experts' opinions and further processed to investigate their relative importance applying an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. This study concludes with some managerial implications which will help the policy makers in government and industry to concentrate on couple of significant CSFs to encourage the sustainable lean manufacturing implementation in SMEs with minimum resource utilization.
