“…Those subdivisions follow previous LM literature, which categorises soft practices as "LM introduction", hard tools as "LM practices" and organisational aspects as "LM implementation" (Shah and Ward, 2007;Bortolotti et al, 2015;Januszek et al, 2023). The PDP construct was subdivided into pre-development, development and post-product development phases (Rozenfeld et al, 2006;Barclay et al, 2010;de Carvalho et al, 2021). The MP construct was not subdivided but had ten questions and was also used as a dependent variable.…”

Purpose This research examines the impact of integrating lean manufacturing (LM) principles and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) into the product development process (PDP) of manufacturing companies in southern Brazil, with the objective of improving market performance (MP).Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted with 110 product development managers to evaluate the level of LM and I4.0 principles, PDP phases, and the improvement of MP. Quantitative analysis was employed to analyse the data, including confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and ordinary least squares (OLS) hierarchical regression.FindingsThe study reveals that integrating LM and I4.0 principles in the PDP enhances product development and positively impacts the MP of manufacturing companies. Additionally, I4.0 partially mediates the LM-PDP relationship, while LM partially mediates the I4.0-PDP relationship, highlighting their interdependence rather than one being a prerequisite for the other.Research limitations/implicationsThe study has limitations regarding its narrow focus on product development managers in Brazil and the absence of multiple case studies.Practical implicationsThe study emphasises the importance of coordinated efforts in manufacturing companies to adopt and manage both LM and I4.0 principles, as they positively impact all phases of the PDP and ultimately contribute to the overall MP of the companies.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study lies in its systemic approach, examining the relationships and effects of LM and I4.0 principles on the PDP, and demonstrating how these effects manifest in manufacturing companies.

“…Carvalho et al integrated design thinking, parallel engineering, and agile technology into the design process management of electromechanical products. Design thinking was adopted in the early stages, while parallel engineering and agility were applied in the product development process to address emerging user needs and shorten development cycles [9]. Liu constructed a multi-model interaction mechanism and used an improved fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to evaluate the product design process [10].…”

Currently, modular building is undergoing vigorous development in China, and has provided a significant advantage in many fields, but its quality is difficult to guarantee. The key is to improve the design process, shorten the development cycle, and enhance competitiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to establish and optimize the design process of modular buildings. This article was based on the DSM and adopted a parallel design to model the modular building design process. Based on this, the design process was analyzed and optimized to shorten the development cycle and reduce costs. At the same time, considering the differences in attributes between different stages of the modular building design process, a DSM model with different resolutions was constructed based on the content and interrelationships of modular building design. The schedule and cost of the design process were evaluated through simulation, the differences between different resolution models were compared, and a more reliable estimate of the schedule and cost of the design process was obtained. Considering the workload and difficulty of high-resolution modeling, an approximate estimation method based on low-resolution modeling was proposed to alleviate the dependence on high-resolution models and modeling costs to some extent, thereby effectively improving the predictability of the design process and providing necessary reference for product design management personnel.

“…Competitiveness is seen as the company's ability and performance to manufacture, provide, and sell products and services in a particular market, relative to other companies' capacity and performance in the same market (Fung et al, 2020; Moretto et al, 2018; Todeschini et al, 2020). A commitment to sustainable development can improve the company's competitiveness at organizational, local, and national levels (de Carvalho et al, 2021; Patwa et al, 2020). Several studies highlighted the positive impact that sustainability has on organization competitiveness and image.…”

“…There is the question of whether sustainable development approach, as a result of national or international regulations, conditions imposed by employees, and marketing measures, contributes to improving organizational performance and improves the competitiveness level (de Carvalho et al, 2021; Patwa et al, 2020). The application of sustainable development principles can contribute to the improvements in the current situation and efficiency (Todeschini et al, 2020).…”

Sustainability development has gained significant importance in the modern business environment. The primary objective is to conduct an explanatory and quantitative study of the impacts of the social, economic, and environmental dimensions on organizational performance, considering the moderating role of organizational competitiveness. Data were collected from Chinese, Italian, and Romanian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The questionnaires were distributed by applying simple random sampling techniques. The study sample size consists of 320 SME employees. Hierarchical regression was used to investigate the moderating impacts of organizational competitiveness on the relationships of the social, economic, and environmental dimensions and organizational performance. The regression analysis shows a positive relationship between the study variables. Small and medium-sized enterprises are focusing more on sustainable business practices.
