N2 - The Efficiency and Quality in Manufacturing Business are some of the key differentiators between competing entities in the business environment and the marketplace. Therefore, improving Efficiency and quality of means of production or services standards is the one of the main obstacle confronting South African's Small-Medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as other firms globally. Lean Approach techniques and methodologies are efficiency and process management Systems adapted largely from Toyota Production System (TPS). Lean Approach is a gradual transformation overall work environment. Generally, Lean Approach is regarded as a set of tools to aid detection and Eradication of wastes in the process system. 7S Lean Methodology which could be applied by any scope organizations is derived from five Japanese lean 5s methodology; Sort, set in order, Shine, standardise and sustain, extended by Safety as well as Spirit in the recent years. This Methodology aids organisation in work environment for effectiveness and reduction hindrances in processes also enhances quality standards as well as throughput, through scrutinizing a prearranged work environment. This paper intents to evaluate prior investigations findings regarding values realised on implementation of 5S, as well as the extended 6s and 7s application and ability to improve efficiency in organisations for enhanced organisational performance. To assemble theoretical analysis various pertinent to the study objective narratives, articles and papers domestically and globally have been referred to. The outcomes illustrate that Lean 5s Methodology as well as the extended 6s and 7s Lean Methodology is an effective system to enhance of organisational performance, irrespective of organization scope. Therefore, 7S Lean Methodology would soundly aid the goals and purposes of organization to a realise sustained enhancement in organizational performance and throughput.
