Journal ArticleDOI
Lean Construction: From Theory to Implementation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the techniques developed for lean construction with those developed for Lean manufacturing and found that they share many common elements despite the obvious differences in their assembly environments and processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards intelligent manufacturing planning and control systems
TL;DR: It is indicated that various important planning and control problems, as they arise in industry, are not properly addressed by current MPC systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manufacturing Strategy Regained: Evidence for the Demise of Best-Practice:
TL;DR: The authors used evidence from the U.K. automobile industry to illustrate the disappointing impact of Japanization and best practice, and suggested that managers should concentrate on the development of strategic competencies and the aligning of manufacturing with corporate strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inventory Reduction and Productivity Growth: A Comparison of Japanese and US Automotive Sectors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the inventory and productivity performance of Japanese and US automotive industries in recent decades and find that assemblers and suppliers made dramatic inventory reductions and productivity gains, particularly during the 1970s.
Lean manufacturers transcendence to green manufacturing: Correlating the diffusion of lean and green manufacturing systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether leading Lean manufacturers are transcending beyond the traditional limits of Lean and implementing Green manufacturing systems as part of their overall overall manufacturing systems, and find that leading manufacturers are transending beyond their traditional limits and implementing green manufacturing systems.
