Implementation of Industry 4.0 and lean production in Brazilian manufacturing companies
TL;DR: It is indicated that LP practices are positively associated with Industry 4.0 technologies and their concurrent implementation leads to larger performance improvements, although not all aspects matter to the same extent and effect.

The impact of lean methods and tools on the operational performance of manufacturing organisations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of five essential lean methods, i.e. JIT, autonomation, kaizen, total productive maintenance (TPM) and value stream mapping (VSM), on contemporary measures of operational performance, and found that JIT and automation have the strongest significance on operational performance while Kaizen, TPM and VSM seem to have a lesser or even negative effect on it.

Lean manufacturing and firm performance: The incremental contribution of lean management accounting practices
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent of lean manufacturing implementation is associated with the use of lean management accounting practices, and further the lean MAP are related in a systematic way: simplified and strategically aligned MAP positively influences use of value stream costing, which in turn positively influences the using of visual performance measures.

The unique and complementary effects of manufacturing technologies and lean practices on manufacturing operational performance
Teerasak Khanchanapong,Daniel Indarto Prajogo,Amrik S. Sohal,Brian Cooper,Andy C.L. Yeung,T.C.E. Cheng +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the unique and complementary effects of manufacturing technologies and lean practices on operational performance of manufacturing firms and found that both organizational resources have complementary (or synergistic) effects on those operational performance dimensions.

Operational performance and critical success factors of lean manufacturing in European food processing SMEs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the application of lean manufacturing, its impact on operational performance and critical success factors in the food processing SMEs, and found that the effectiveness of the lean manufacturing practices in food SMEs is still at its infancy.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common method biases in behavioral research: a critical review of the literature and recommended remedies.
TL;DR: The extent to which method biases influence behavioral research results is examined, potential sources of method biases are identified, the cognitive processes through which method bias influence responses to measures are discussed, the many different procedural and statistical techniques that can be used to control method biases is evaluated, and recommendations for how to select appropriate procedural and Statistical remedies are provided.
Book
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.

Estimating Nonresponse Bias in Mail Surveys
TL;DR: This article used subjective estimates and extrapolations in an analysis of mail survey data from published studies for estimates of the magnitude of bias and found that the use of extrapolation led to substantial improvements over a strategy of not using extrapolation.

Mediation in experimental and nonexperimental studies: New procedures and recommendations.
Patrick E. Shrout,Niall Bolger +1 more
TL;DR: Efron and Tibshirani as discussed by the authors used bootstrap tests to assess mediation, finding that the sampling distribution of the mediated effect is skewed away from 0, and they argued that R. M. Kenny's (1986) recommendation of first testing the X --> Y association for statistical significance should not be a requirement when there is a priori belief that the effect size is small or suppression is a possibility.
