The problem of the study is focused on the impact that technological changes can have in enhancing the role of Lean Manufacturing as a development strategy to improve the productivity of the research sample organization. This study derives its importance from the fact that it deals with a dynamic topic in an attempt to elevate the research sample organization and enhance its position and occupy a distinct market share to reach a leading organization. The study aimed to examine the role of lean manufacturing in order to improve factory productivity. A questionnaire was adopted in order to accomplish the study's goals, and 137 employees from the organization's various departments made up the sample. Two main hypothesis was formulated in line with the study's objectives, and the researchers then used a number of statistical techniques with the help of the statistical programme (Spss vr.24) and (AMOS vr.24) to reach at a number of conclusions, the most important of which are :The mediating variable Technological Change (TE.CH) increased the value of the impact of the Lean Manufacturing (L.M) axis on the axis of productivity improvement (PR.IM) by (0.585). As well as a set of recommendations, the most important of which are: Optimal investment of the technical energies and superior skills in the productive departments and maintaining them in a way that contributes to strengthening the position of those departments in reducing waste and speeding up the completion of tasks.
