Purpose: In this research, some of Lean Manufacturing tools and concepts will be used to control and limit the spread of COVID-19.
Findings: This research introduced some major Lean manufacturing principles and illustrates that these principals can be applied in to help in overcoming pandemic that the world is facing now. In such a disaster, people should use every single tool that could help them in order to overcome such a problem. By applying lean manufacturing to this pandemic, we will reduce the number of spread between.
Originality: This research is original and based on solid literature review.
