Let (R,\mathfrakm) be a Noetherian local ring of dimension d≥ 2. We prove that if e(\widehatRred)>1, then the classical Lech's inequality can be improved uniformly for all \mathfrakm-primary ideals, that is, there exists ε>0 such that e(I)≤ d!(e(R)-ε)ℓ(R/I) for all \mathfrakm-primary ideals I⊆ R. We also obtain partial results towards improvements of Lech's inequality when we fix the number of generators of I.
