TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated sustainability in the performance measurement systems of Swedish manufacturing companies and found that 90% of the indicators have at least an indirect relation to one or more of the sustainability dimensions economy, environment and social, of which 26% are at least indirectly related to the environmental dimension.

TL;DR: The paper proposes a lean Kata-improvement inspired design method, which takes the personnel’s perspective on design of daily visual management, and what type of information and key performance indicators are most relevant for the personnel.

TL;DR: In this paper, a LEGO experiment with 40 students was conducted to understand what affects operator performance and productivity, and the results indicated that cognitive support has an impact on the final assembly and it is therefore possible to achieve better operator performance if instructions and material facade are improved.

TL;DR: In this article, the present state of the performance measurement systems (PMS) at 7 sites of 6 different large Swedish manufacturing companies is investigated, and the authors empirically investigate the state of these systems.
