The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of lean and agile supply chain practices on the performance of the manufacturing companies in Oman. In recent years, research on supply chain sustainability is still scarce. as a competitive priority, where companies are struggling with how to balance the effectiveness of the supply chain and the pressures of strengthening the supply chain. The study used quantitative data collected through survey of 130 respondents from the manufacturing companies in Oman.
