Lean manufacturing implementation in regions with scarce resources

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the adoption of lean practices by manufacturing companies in regions of low economic and technological development and to compare findings with previous studies from more developed regions highlighting important contextual differences. The paper uses the contingency theory to explore how contextual variables and scarce resources influence the adoption of lean practices. Design/methodology/approach A survey of 233 manufacturing firms was conducted in the State o… Show more

“…This corresponds to a response rate of 16.85% of the total population (this response rate here is the number of responses received divided by total population). Such response rate is similar to those ones observed in the studies of Handfield et al (2015), Salimian et al (2017), Gutierrez-Gutierrez et al (2018), Negrão et al (2020), Tortorella et al (2021) and Klein et al (2023a). With this number of responses, we also met the criteria of 15–20 responses for each item in the questionnaire, as suggested by Hair et al (2014), to perform more sophisticated data analysis procedures.…”

“…For example, Singh and Rathi (2019) and Gleeson et al (2019) linked pre-attentive bias (knowledge of items' location) to Lean Six Sigma methods while this study had Lean as its scope. Another reason could be that this research focused on Lean related biases other than research-methodological errors related biases such as nonresponse bias, (Tortorella et al, 2020, Sahoo, 2019, Negrão Léony Luis et al, 2019, review and response biases (Ibrahim et al, 2020).…”

“…Shi et al (2019)). Many authors considered or verified nonresponse bias, (Tortorella et al, 2020, Sahoo, 2019, Negrão Léony Luis et al, 2019, review bias and response bias (Ibrahim et al, 2020) in their case studies. The influences of perception's bias, self-serving bias, actorobserver bias (Antomarioni et al, 2020), operational bias (Cruz et al, 2019), observational bias (Gleeson et al, 2019), subjective bias (Valente et al, 2019) and technocratic bias (Claudia and Geraldo, 2020) were linked to Lean projects.…”

“…One such paradigm is lean manufacturing. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The origin of lean manufacturing can be traced to the implementation of Just in Time (JIT) manufacturing at Toyota during the 1980s. 1,7,8 In 1990, Womack et al adopted the terminology, 'lean manufacturing' in their book titled 'The machine that changed the World' to bring out the expanded and refined form of JIT.…”
