Development of a framework for lean production system: An integrative approach

Abstract

Lean production is one of the alternatives to achieve excellence in the organizational operations. The objective of this study is to develop a lean production system framework by conducting critical analysis and comparative analysis on the existing lean production system frameworks. The study has collected 131 lean production system-related frameworks from the literature survey. The study has identified 39 frameworks using validity and reliability analysis, which is considered as a sample of framework in this study. The study has performed critical analysis on the sample of the frameworks in the aspects of novelty of frameworks, background development of framework, status of verification of frameworks and verification methodology used to verify the proposed frameworks. The study has proposed a framework with the help of domain knowledge, through discussion with experts in the field, comparative analysis as well as reliability and validity analysis. The study clearly discloses major irregularities in lean production system literature such as majority of frameworks have been developed based on novelty concept. The study also found a lack of significant participation of practitioners and consultants in the development of lean production system-related frameworks. The study has identified 11 pillars with the help of comparative analysis. However, finally the study has proposed a framework with the help of 11 pillars and 83 elements in the field of lean production system.

A Lean Agile Resilient Green Implementation and Technology Utilization: A New Vision in Technology Adoption

“…So, all of these paradigms when implement separately or combined move the lean implementation towards sustainability. Therefore, a systematic literature review has to be conducted by using these electronic databases recommended by top researchers of this area [19][20][22][23][26][27]. Large numbers of papers of credible high impact factor journals (Science direct, Springer, Emerald Insight, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis online and many others) searched which contain one of the above-mentioned paradigms or a combination of these paradigms implemented.…”

“…3 clearly elaborates that the availability of literature regarding LARG implementation is inclusive of 22 papers. However, the availability of literature for the combination of technology induction with lean is inclusive of only four related papers [19,[21][22]63]. In fact, there is no availability of an integration of resilient and agile manufacturing with wireless technology.…”

“…To utilize the meaningful combination of these techniques many efforts have been made by researchers and these prevail knowledge and understanding of LARG concept [10,[14][15], furthermore it also helped to fill the knowledge gap required to find those potential area where the organizations can earn more profit [16][17][18] and also makes convenient for them to decide which strategy they should implement in the continually changing environment. It has been observed that there are some new models which are utilizing electronic configurations to provide powerful platform for process improvements [19][20][21][22][23]. Therefore, utilizing LARG applications as tools or techniques in combination of technologies can be very effective for process improvements.…”

Selection of the basic Lean tools for development of Croatian model of Innovative Smart Enterprise

“…Usually, they are visualized as house with pillars [19,20], like the original Toyota Production System [21]. In this research, the same idea is proposed and selection of basic lean tools for development of Croatian model of Innovative Smart Enterprise is made.…”

IoT-enabled dynamic lean control mechanism for typical production systems

“…Since its inception a variety of lean methods, tools and practices have emerged, reflecting that different enterprises have different goals and different development stages for achieving lean (McLachlin 1997;Jasti and Kodali 2016). At the same time, there has not been a complete, systematic and feasible theory to define and describe the core management essence and the underlying control framework of LP.…”
