On the adoption of lean manufacturing principles in process industries
TL;DR: A state-of-the-art review of lean manufacturing literature with respect to its applications in process industry is presented in this article, which contributes to the classification of literature in a manner which helps to identify strategies suitable for the adoption of lean concepts in the process industry.

Improving operational performance by influencing shopfloor behavior via performance management practices
TL;DR: Recommendations emerging from this study enable managers to identify which behavioral changes are desired to improve performance and to select those performance management practices that positively influence the desired behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
The lean and resilient management of the supply chain and its impact on performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the relationship and links between lean and resilient supply chain (SC) practices and their impact on SC performance, and the final ISM model revealed that lean SC practices act as drivers for resilient SC practices, since implementing the former in isolation could lead to a more vulnerable SC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Explaining Anomalous High Performance in a Health Care Supply Chain
TL;DR: This study examines a health care supply chain in which the work is distributed among independent organizations and uses well-established lean principles to explain how independent organizations achieve superior performance despite highly uncertain and variable customer demand.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complementary effect of lean manufacturing and digitalisation on operational performance
TL;DR: In this article, the most recent trend manufacturers have embraced to seek operational performance improvements is the use of a wide range of digital technologies typically associated with Industry 4.0. However, the authors point out that the most popular trend manufacturers are embracing is the adoption of a broad range of technologies.

An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an evolutionary theory of the capabilities and behavior of business firms operating in a market environment, including both general discussion and the manipulation of specific simulation models consistent with that theory.
Book
Applied Linear Statistical Models
TL;DR: Applied Linear Statistical Models 5e as discussed by the authors is the leading authoritative text and reference on statistical modeling, which includes brief introductory and review material, and then proceeds through regression and modeling for the first half, and through ANOVA and Experimental Design in the second half.
Book
Reliability and Validity Assessment
TL;DR: The paper shows how reliability is assessed by the retest method, alternative-forms procedure, split-halves approach, and internal consistency method.

Structural Inertia and Organizational Change
Michael T. Hannan,John Freeman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider structural inertia in organizational populations as an outcome of an ecological-evolutionary process and define structural inertia as a correspondence between a class of organizations and their environments.
