Once measures registered, it is necessary to analyze the results and thus assess the organization ́s leanness
degree. Bearing this in mind, it is proposed the use of a lean performance score developed by Searcy [44] where
are recorded: Balanced values of each performance index in relation to an objective end; the historical values or
initial measurement (baseline) which corresponds to a zero or starting point for the other measurements; the goal
to achieve, namely the values defined for management on the basis of which one wishes to achieve objectives
(future state); the improvement to be achieved, which represents the difference between the point of start and
goal to achieve (targeted improvement), current results as a result of several measurements taken over a period
of time and fourthly the actual change, representing the interval between the current results and the improvement
to be achieved (Table 1).
