Abstract: | The aim of our research is to disentangle the complex relations among lean bundles and operational performance. In particular,
we focus on the direct and mediating effects on operational performance of three of the main lean manufacturing bundles, namely
Just in Time (JIT), Total Quality Management (TQM) and Human Resource Management (HRM). We run statistical analysis on the
High Performance Manufacturing round III database, a survey involving 266 plants in nine countries across three different
industries. Our results show that JIT and TQM have a direct and positive effect on operational performance while HRM has a
mediated effect on it. Theoretical and managerial implications of our findings are then drawn and discussed. |
