“…However, in this study, both operational and financial performance are considered. This current study is also related to other recent contributions that found a direct effect between Lean, Supply Chain and performance (García-Buendía et al, 2020).…”

“…It extends to manufacturing operations, processing times and distribution (Hopp and Spearman, 2004;de Treville and Antonakis, 2006;Holweg, 2007). The underlying principles of Lean Production and its effects on Supply Chain Management have been extensively studied in recent decades and there is growing interest among researchers in this area (Womack et al, 1990;Cagliano et al, 2006;Uhrin et al, 2017;García-Buendía et al, 2020). There is some consensus in the literature that the practices commonly associated with Lean Production implementation are: just in time, cellular manufacturing, total productive maintenance, total quality management and human resources management (Shah and Ward, 2003;Shah et al, 2008;Moyano-Fuentes and Sacrist an-Díaz, 2012).…”

“…In this way, companies would be able to respond to individual requests, quickly, without considerable cost and consequently improve their performance (Seebacher and Winkler, 2015). Literature that directly links Lean Production, Supply Chain Flexibility and their impacts on business performance are scarce (García-Buendía et al, 2020). Lean Production could be a facilitating agent for Supply Chain Flexibility, supporting the various flexibility types, allowing companies to redesign production systems, change product design for production and control inventory and service levels (Stump and Badurdeen, 2012).…”

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the mediating role of Supply Chain Flexibility on the interrelationships binding Lean Production implementation, Mass Personalization and business performance. Design/methodology/approach A random sample of 260 companies obtained from a population of 1,717 Spanish companies that occupy an intermediate position in the supply chain has been used to test the proposed hypothetical framework. Telephone surveys using a computerized system have been used to collect data, obtaining a response rate of 15.6 and a structural equation model has been designed to test the six proposed hypotheses. Findings Companies initially implement Lean Production to optimize Mass Personalization processes and improve business performance. However, in the presence of Supply Chain Flexibility, Lean Production implementation no longer has a direct impact on Mass Personalization and business performance, but it does have an indirect impact through the flexibility it achieves (shown as a total mediating path). Therefore, companies should implement Lean Production to achieve flexibility and thus optimize the Mass Personalization processes and obtain better performance. Originality/value Academics and business managers may have supporting evidence on the role played by the total mediating effect of Supply Chain Flexibility on the relationship between Lean Production, Mass Personalization and business performance. A better knowledge of these management resources and their relationship could affect the way researchers and practitioners approach them, becoming more aware of the important role of the supply chain in competitiveness.

“…In the strategic diagrams, four different quadrants could be distinguished based on their positions on the map. The cluster in Quadrant I (upper right) indicates themes that were welldeveloped as motor themes in the network; Quadrant II (upper left), research maturity was high but had marginal importance for the field (i.e., highly developed and isolated themes); Quadrant III (lower left), research maturity was low and in the marginal position (i.e., generally emerging or declining themes); and Quadrant IV (lower right), research was in the central position but not mature and had great developmental potential (i.e., basic and transversal themes) (Figure 7A) (28,41). The size of a signal node in the diagrams was proportional to the number of documents involved in each cluster.…”

“…Bibliometric analysis and visualization analysis are wellestablished research methods in information science, which are widely used in many scientific fields [e.g., neural stem cells research (26), environmental health (27), and production management (28)]. Recent developments in bibliometrics analysis software tools have made scientific mapping and quantitative analysis more accessible.…”

Background: The global incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is continuously increasing, making it a potential worldwide public health concern. Research on dietary factors related to MetS has attracted considerable attention in the recent decades. However, the research hotspots, knowledge structure, and theme trends for the dietary factors associated with MetS remain unknown, and have not yet been systematically mapped. This study aimed to review the research status of diet as a risk factor for MetS through bibliometric methods. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science database. Research hotspots were identified using biclustering analysis with the gCLUTO software, and knowledge structure was explored via social network analysis using the Ucinet software. Theme trends were investigated using evolutionary analysis with the SciMAT software. In total, 1,305 papers were analyzed. The research output on the dietary factors associated with MetS increased steadily. The research scope was gradually expanding and diverse. Overall, eight research hot spots, four key dietary nodes, and four motor themes on the dietary factors associated with MetS were identified. Fatty acids, dietary fiber, and polyphenols have been the focus of research in this field over the years. Evolutionary analysis showed that fish oil and vitamin C were well-developed research foci recently. Prebiotics was recognized as an emerging theme with certain developmental potential. These findings provide a better understanding of the research status of the dietary factors associated with MetS and a reference for future investigations.

Interrelationships between circular economy and Industry 4.0: A research agenda for sustainable supply chains

The purpose of this article is to propose a novel classification of the interrelationships between Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and circular economy (CE) principles that highlights the most conclusive findings and extant gaps in the relevant research. A systematic literature review has been developed to locate, select and evaluate relevant contributions made to CE interrelationships with I4.0 technologies. Studies have been analysed and classified according to the specific I4.0 technology and CE principle addressed (10Rs). The articles have been clustered into three main groups: (i) useful application of materials, (ii) extending the lifespan of products and their parts and (iii) smarter product use and manufacture. A mind map of the investigated articles has been used to establish the interrelationships between individual technologies and each CE principle at the supply chain level. Based on this classification, a focus group interview (FGI) was held with experts to dig deeper into the interrelationships between I4.0 technologies and CE principles. The FGI results have identified how each as yet unexplored I4.0 technology could be linked to each CE principle. A Fuzzy Delphi (FD) study was also applied to identify the most relevant I4.0 technologies for improving CE principles and closing gaps in the literature regarding the 10R CE principles. In addition, guidelines have been established to assist with practical applications and generate a research agenda on the interrelationships between I4.0 technologies and CE principles at the supply chain level. Implications for theory include the extension of view from the research gaps between I4.0 technologies and the 10Rs identified in the literature; also, an FGI and FD were performed based on the detected research gaps to identify future lines of research for academics and offer useful guidance to directors and managers on I4.0 technology interrelationships for improving at least one of the 10R CE principles. The contribution to practice aims to enable managers to easily identify which technology from the I4.0 domain should be used to advance any given CE principle. Lastly, we provide useful guidance on the application of as‐yet‐unused technologies to improve CE principles.
