“…Taking into account the approach aligned to designated research methods, studies aim at the implementation of the Lean Production System in parts of the process (Xie & Li, 2012), in the organization (Barth et al, 2013;Dora & Gellynck, 2015;Tanco et al, 2013), and in the supply chain (Cox et al, 2007;Perez et al, 2010;Simons & Taylor, 2007;Simons & Zokaei, 2005;Taylor, 2005Taylor, , 2006. Evaluation studies also occur on the use of Lean Production System in internal environments of the organization or along the chain (Claire et al, 2014;Dora et al, 2013;Forrester et al, 2010;Cardozo et al, 2011;Silva, 2006;Tomazela et al, 2010).…”
