“…The percentage of research methods used to investigate the LM implementation in SMEs by Alkhoraif et al (2019) showed that multiple case studies and mixed-methods only consisted of 11% and 7%, respectively, as compared to the single case study (34%) and survey (30%). Osman et al (2020) presented that most literature on LM research in Malaysia were empirical articles, mostly with survey studies (42%) as compared to mixed methods (2%). Therefore, convergent parallel mixed-methods (qualitative and quantitative) research was employed in the case of the three M&E companies to provide a comprehensive analysis of the research problems and increase the accuracy of the results.…”

“…They are expecting to grow at an average annual growth rate of 4.1 per cent to reach RM 43 billion in 2020 (MIDA, 2019). However, the existing literature on LM adoption for M&E in Malaysia only amounts to 2.3%, which is very little as compared to the automotive industry with 37.1% (Osman et al, 2020). Therefore, this study aimed to explore the predominant critical success factors (CSFs) of LM in M&E manufacturing SMEs.…”

This study aims to explore the predominant critical success factors (CSFs) for the implementation of lean manufacturing (LM) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) producing machinery and equipment (M&E). The convergent parallel mixed-methods (qualitative and quantitative) were employed in three Malaysian M&E manufacturing SMEs. The study identified four predominant CSFs that significantly impact on the LM application in M&E manufacturing SMEs, namely, leadership and commitment of the top management, training to upgrade skills and expertise, employee involvement and empowerment, and the development of LM implementation framework for SMEs. This study can assist the M&E manufacturing SMEs in prioritising these predominant CSFs so that the management teams can work on the improvement strategy and achieve a higher level of lean sustainability. It offers valuable insights into the LM implementation that could provide a practical reference guide to other industrial companies.

“…Hall (1977) stated awareness as “the lack of concern expressed by an individual regarding a product and services.” Moreover, the halal food market is regarded as a fruitful business, and there in Muslim and non-Muslim countries, it has become a significant concern (Osman et al ,2020). Similarly, awareness is essential for customer behavior.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the factors that drive the exporter’s influence toward halal meat supply chain adoption by encompassing the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory in the context of Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach Using DOI as an underpinning theory, this study evaluates halal supply chain adoption by collecting data from the members of associations from Pakistan. A total of 258 useable responses were received, and PLS-SEM was adopted using SmartPLS. Findings The exporter’s adoption of the halal supply chain is determined not only by perceived relative advantage and perceived compatibility but also by perceived complexity, religious beliefs and awareness. Research limitations/implications Though this study has practical and managerial implications, it has few limitations. Further studies need to be conducted in other contexts as well with a larger population. Originality/value There are limited studies that have tested DOI theory in the context of the halal meat supply chain in Pakistan. Therefore, the author extends the diffusion theory of innovation in the current work. Further, this paper will be a helpful reference guide for academicians, practitioners and researchers.

“…From the perspective of operations research, Mohd Yusof and Aspinwall (2000) asserted that a model answers the question 'what is', whereas, a framework answers the question 'how to'. In the same vein, Osman, Othman, and Abdul Rahim (2020b) perceived a model as a graphical respresentation of statistical assessment on relationship between variables from survey studies, and a framework represent a complete plan of implementation (i.e. roadmap), established usually based on case study method.…”

Tranformation from conventional production system to lean production system has helped many manufacturing companies to reduce cost and ultimately improve their business performance. Unfortunately, there were also many reported cases where manufacturers failed to sustain the transformation until they achieve the ultimate result. Therefore, this article aimed to review existing Lean Transformation Sustainability (LTS) models that might help scholars and practitioners gain better insights on how to sustain lean transformation. This article compiled 37 LTS models through assistance of online bibliographic databases. The review study found that many researchers have proposed original models which involved high participation of practitioners and to some extent consultants in the development of LTS models. It was also found that a huge number of inconsistent elements were used to propose the LTS models. The study findings provided direction towards future research opportunities such as the development of LTS assessment model that encompassed standard set of elements for generalisation.
