“…Referring to the former bibliometric research (Garcia-Buendia et al , 2021a, 2021b, 2021c), the advanced query was designed as follows: Topic Search (TS) = (“lean”) AND TS = (“supply chain”). The data sets in WoS were restricted in Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index.…”

“…Garcia-Buendia et al (2021) conducted a review supported by SciMAT to research the evolution of LSCM studies from 1996 to 2018, then identifying the main issues and future trends of this field. Garcia-Buendia et al (2021a, 2021b, 2021c) combined BibExcel and VOSviewer to do a comprehensive bibliometric and network analysis to LSCM papers from 1996 to 2020.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the existing knowledge system of lean supply chain management (LSCM), i.e. by using main path analysis, and the authors extract the main development track of LSCM. It is advantageous for relevant scholars to deepen their understanding of this academic field from a bibliometrics view to grasp the future directions better. Design/methodology/approach Structuring a citation network with the processed data set containing 866 papers and relevant information collected from Web of Science (WoS). Conducting review analyses aiming at the main paths that are extracted from the above citation network. Findings There are two different evolution paths in LSCM field, i.e. improving corporate sustainability performance through combining lean and green practices, and seeking the balance between lean and agility to structure leagile supply chain for specific industries. LSCM research studies mainly focus on five aspects: (1) establishment and development of LSCM theory; (2) structuration of lean supply chain; (3) research studies of the relationship between LSCM and corporate performance; (4) supply chain evaluation system; and (5) review and vista of LSCM field. The intersection of two knowledge evolute routes would be Industry 4.0, which is an integrated theory system combining lean, agility, green and other supply chain thinking. Research limitations/implications The data set collected from WoS cannot contain all the research studies about LSCM is the main research limitation. Sustainability, as represented by environmental performance, will continue to be a major pursuit of this field. Integrating LSCM in Industry 4.0 will be the next hotspot in LSCM field. Practical implications Providing the main research contents and common methods of LSCM field. It is conducive to deepening the understanding of relevant practitioners and scholars to LSCM field from a dynamic perspective. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is the first time to reveal the knowledge diffuse trajectories of LSCM under different view with main path analysis. This study is unique that it provides a new view to understand the field of LSCM.

“…Lean SC emphasized mostly minimizing waste and maximizing value during streamlines while reducing overall costs, and enhancing product quality. Lean SC also adopted various management techniques or practices such as Just-in-Time (JIT), Kanban, Six Sigma (Ardalan & Diaz, 2012;Garcia-Buendia et al, 2021c), and manufacturing techniques such as pull flow, and set-up time reduction (Moyano-Fuentes et al, 2019).…”

“…There are also several papers presenting insights to develop a deep understanding of lean and agile SC. Garcia-Buendia et al (2021c) conducted a study to present the bibliometric analysis of the lean SCM literature to gain knowledge about the research characteristics of the field. The study examined 715 papers published in the WoS database over the period 1996-2020.…”

Today, the two terms - agility and leanness are frequently encountered in the literature due to their effects on industrial sectors. They are the two basic paradigms of the businesses that help them to build strategies and to gain a competitive advantage. This study aimed to explore the emerging research topics and the main research trends within agile and lean supply chain (SC) paradigms in recent years and to explore the interrelationships between them. A word co-occurrence analysis technique was adopted in this study. A data set of 526 publications, obtained from the Web of Science database, had been analyzed. The findings show that many topics such as SC strategy, green SC, and SC agility are present since 2018. Besides, the topics such as SC design, collaboration, cold SC, lean and agile SC, and SC risk management were emerging topics. The most common research areas revealed are; environmental risks in the agile SC, combining lean SC with agile SC, leagile SC strategies, SC risk management, and agility in SC integration.

“…In general, studies that apply a systematic review of the literature are valuable to understanding the leading edge research in a field, but an additional analysis of the literature using bibliometric methods can provide results that have not been detected in the other reviews [ 53 ]. Thus, bibliometric research, analyzing large volumes of scientific data, has an increasing scientific value in responding to the current public health emergency of international concern [ 54 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on almost all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leaving no country unaffected. It has caused a shift in political agendas, but also in lines of research. At the same time, the world is trying to make the transition to a more sustainable economic model. The research objectives of this paper are to explore the impact of COVID-19 on the fulfilment of the SDGs with regard to the research of the scientific community, and to analyze the presence of the Circular Economy (CE) in the literature. To this end, this research applies bibliometric analysis and a systematic review of the literature, using VOSviewer for data visualization. Five clusters were detected and grouped according to the three dimensions of sustainability. The extent of the effects of the health, economic and social crisis resulting from the pandemic, in addition to the climate crisis, is still uncertain, but it seems clear that the main issues are inefficient waste management, supply chain issues, adaptation to online education and energy concerns. The CE has been part of the solution to this crisis, and it is seen as an ideal model to be promoted based on the opportunities detected.
