“…All kinds of LP approaches at operative level were associated with improved or better working conditions, especially when there was a general higher degree of LP and a high degree of tool-focus. Thus, our results are in line with previous research showing that a comprehensive LP approach is beneficial (Longonia et al, 2013). More narrow focus of LP (for example, on rationalisations) can have the opposite impact on employee health (Westgaard and Winkel, 2011).…”

Healthcare organisations in Sweden are reorienting toward horizontal organisation around care processes. This paper's aim was to investigate how implementation approaches for improvements of care processes in line with lean production (LP), at hospital strategic and operative levels, are associated with working conditions and stress-related health among the employees. Five hospitals working with improvements to care processes were studied using questionnaires to employees (n = 1,303) and interviews at strategic and operative levels at baseline and follow-up. The process redesign implementation strategies varied between the strategic and operative levels. 236 L. Dellve et al.There were associations between a higher degree of LP at operative level and increased work resources and decreased work demands. Physical, cognitive and mental stress-related symptoms were only weakly associated with strategic or operative LP initiatives. There was evidence of more beneficial or improved working conditions in relation to higher degree of LP at operative levels.Keywords: lean production; continuous improvements; work environment; psychosocial work conditions; healthcare service; human factors; implementation; stress; healthcare workers; Sweden.

“…As empresas que implementam LM, necessitam mudar os modelos tradicionais de produção em massa especificamente ao organizar seus sistemas de trabalho e práticas de gestão (LONGONI et al, 2013). O desafio consiste em justificar e examinar sob que condições as práticas enxutas têm valor competitivo e relevância contextual (KETOKIVI; SCHROEDER, 2004;PINHEIRO et al, 2013).…”

Resumo:A implementação da Manufatura Enxuta ou Lean Manufacturing (LM) implica mudanças fundamentais nos sistemas gerenciais das empresas. Os líderes desempenham um papel crucial no estabelecimento dessa mudança enxuta, uma vez que são responsáveis por influenciar indivíduos e equipes na execução de objetivos estratégicos. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar empiricamente a relação entre a orientação comportamental de líderes de diferentes níveis hierárquicos e o estágio do roteiro de implementação de LM, bem como analisar a influência das variáveis contextuais de liderança. O método de pesquisa proposto é composto por aspectos qualitativos e quantitativos, uma vez que combina os resultados de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com especialistas em LM e um levantamento com 225 líderes de diferentes empresas Brasileiras que estão passando por uma implementação de LM. Os resultados indicam que o contexto importa com relação à orientação do estilo de liderança ao longo do roteiro de imeplementação enxuta, embora nem todas as variáveis influenciem na mesma magnitude.

“…The literature offers limited insight into the conditions that could facilitate lean-related improvements that also support the development of SSWC. Previous studies have associated more favorable lean initiatives with more human-oriented lean-approaches, with a focus on human resources (Longoni et al, 2013), employee participation, social support, and inclusive management approaches (Westgaard & Winkel, 2011). Furthermore, some suggest lean may have more favorable employee outcomes in Scandinavian implementations (Brännmark & Håkansson, 2012;Sederblad, 2013;Seppälä & Klemola, 2004).…”

“…This aspect is rarely mentioned in the lean literature. Lean initiatives associated with more positive outcomes have instead been attributed to focus on human resources in general (Longoni et al, 2013) and management approaches (Westgaard & Winkel, 2011).…”
