Imagine a South Africa where state-owned entities (SOEs) not only drive economic growth but also deliver impeccable services to citizens, all while operating efficiently and sustainably. Unfortunately, this vision is currently marred by governance issues, mismanagement, and waste within SOEs. Although much has been discovered about lean manufacturing as a methodology that promises to reduce waste and improve efficiency, the examination of various lean manufacturing frameworks revealed certain gaps. The first gap is that none of the frameworks proposed in the literature review offers a tailored fit for the adaption of lean principles within the public sector environment. The second gap is a noticeable inclination to a top-down approach among the reviewed lean manufacturing frameworks. This propensity, although appropriate in certain contexts, may face constraints when implemented in the case of SOEs in South Africa. Drawing upon insights from contingency theory, this study revealed both the potential advantages and hurdles associated with the application of lean manufacturing principles to SOEs in South Africa. The researcher examined the systematic interplay of lean principles within the SOE context through the lens of viable systems theory (VST). The study therefore laid out an argument for developing an effective lean framework that is tailored for the reinterpretation of lean principles and concepts according to the unique nature of the public sector. The Schedule 2 SOEs in South Africa constituted the target population of the study. The qualitative sample comprised 10 participants from each entity. The systematic interaction of the lean principles with the context of the SOEs was explored from the perspective of VST and contingency theory, laying out an argument for a framework that demonstrates that it is possible to adapt lean principles to SOEs for value creation and the reduction of waste. A qualitative methodology in the interpretivist paradigm was employed to investigate three Schedule 2 SOEs. Thirty participants were purposively selected for semi-structured online interviews. It was found that value creation by an organisation's leadership requires the participation of both internal and external stakeholders. It is essential to have the backing of important external stakeholders, including government, partners, users, interest groups, and donors, to create value effectively. Through stakeholder consultation, the leadership of an organisation can gain insights into the needs and expectations of the organisation's customers, enabling it to tailor its services and initiatives to meet these needs effectively. The implications of ignoring the reinterpretation of these themes may lead to the use of inappropriate or unhelpful measurements involving the numerical quantification of quality through targets and create impossible expectations in citizens, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. The implementation of lean manufacturing principles should begin with understanding and determining the context within which SOEs operate. The context of an organisation includes factors such as the organisation's structure, culture, strategic goals, and stakeholders, together with legislative and other requirements, which is important when considering the implementation of lean manufacturing principles.
