Agile manufacturing: Relation to JIT, operational performance and firm performance
TLDR
In this paper, a structural model incorporating agile manufacturing as the focal construct is theorized and tested using data collected from production and operations managers working for large U.S. manufacturers, the model is assessed following a structural equation modeling methodology.About:

Can Lean and Agile organisations within the UK automotive supply chain be distinguished based upon contextual factors
Amir Qamar,Mark Hall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether firms are implementing Lean or Agile production in the automotive supply chain (SC) and, by drawing on contingency theory (CT) as a theoretical lens, independently determine whether Lean and Agile firms can be distinguished based upon contextual factors.

Understanding of business performance from the perspective of manufacturing strategies: fit manufacturing and overall equipment effectiveness
Raghed Ibrahim Esmaeel,Raghed Ibrahim Esmaeel,Norhayati Zakuan,Noriza Mohd Jamal,Hamed Taherdoost +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the relationship between Fit Manufacturing (Lean Manufacturing, Agile Manufacturing and Sustainability) and Business Performance through the mediation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness, which is a major concern for modern manufacturing technology systems.

Single machine due window assignment and resource allocation scheduling problems with learning and general positional effects
TL;DR: Four research problems are presented and it is proved that all of them are polynomially solvable under CON due window, SLK due window (each job is assigned an individual due window based on a common flow allowance) and DIFDue window ( each job has a different due window with no restrictions) assignment assumptions, respectively.

Multitasking parallel-machine scheduling with machine-dependent slack due-window assignment
TL;DR: This work extends the original model of multitasking to a more general model where each job’s interruption proportion depends on the job itself and its processing position, and shows that an optimal schedule exists when each machine is occupied by at least one job.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic literature review regarding the influence of lean manufacturing on firms’ financial performance
TL;DR: The impact of lean practices on financial performance is still unclear due to the poor understanding of the link between operational and financial measures and the conflictive results obtained by previous research as discussed by the authors.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.

Principles and Practice of Structural Equation Modeling
TL;DR: The book aims to provide the skills necessary to begin to use SEM in research and to interpret and critique the use of method by others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multivariate Data Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a six-step framework for organizing and discussing multivariate data analysis techniques with flowcharts for each is presented, focusing on the use of each technique, rather than its mathematical derivation.

Self-Reports in Organizational Research: Problems and Prospects
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify six categories of self-reports and discuss such problems as common method variance, the consistency motif, and social desirability, as well as statistical and post hoc remedies and some procedural methods for dealing with artifactual bias.
