practices and to ascertain the association amongst lean supply chain management practices and
performance of Manufacturing Firms in Mogadishu, Somalia. The paper used descriptive research
design, with all Manufacturing Firms listed by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in
Mogadishu as the study's population. Census was carried out on all the 35 manufacturing
companies in Mogadishu, Somalia. The study used primary data drafted by questionnaires which
were administered through electronic email by use of google forms. The findings indicate that
