Census Techniques was used to collect data for the entire population. Using Ordinal Logistic Regression Tool Analysis, the two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance and the results of the analysis showed that Lean Management dimension (Value stream mapping is 3.246, PV = 0.002., and waste elimination is 3.024, PV = 0.003,) has a significance relationship on Organizational Performance in manufacturing firms in Akwa Ibom State.
