This study examines the key determinants of lean production system implementation by Egyptian pharmaceutical companies. For this purpose, a research model is proposed showing the relationship between three groups of factors (lean production attributes, external lean practices and managerial factors) and the implementation of lean production system. Based on data collected from 62 pharmaceutical companies operating in Egypt, statistical analysis was carried out. The results show that benefits of implementing lean production system, ease of use, perceived compatibility, result demonstrability, customer involvement, competitive pressure and tenure in position and in management are key elements influencing the implementation of lean production system by Egyptian pharmaceutical companies.
