TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether plants that successfully implement lean management are characterized by a specific organizational culture profile and extensively adopt soft lean management practices, such as small group problem solving, employees training to perform multiple tasks, supplier partnerships, customer involvement, and continuous improvement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of customer integration on efficiency and the moderating role of supplier integration was analyzed in a sample of 200 manufacturing plants and two hypotheses were tested through a hierarchical regression analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic literature review (SLR) of 240 articles published in 25 peer-reviewed academic journals from January 2003 to December 2015 is presented to analyze the recent trends in this area and to provide a framework that organizes lean researched issues into mature, intermediate and nascent, based on their position in the research life cycle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the use of an international supplier network acts as a contingency factor on the relationship between external integration practices and responsiveness, as in an international context the effect on performance is amplified.

TL;DR: In this paper, the rationale behind managerial choices that lead companies to implement different types of collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) collaborations is investigated. But the authors focus on the use of the relationships found in this research as a managerial tool for the testing of research findings within larger samples of firms.
