“…This study will present a qualitative briefing and review in order to understand the development of lean application and will point out the ergonomic issues that occur after the lean acceptance. Then they found out that the differences between lean theory and lean practice, the employees needs for feedback and direct involvement in the company, stress reduction in lean manufacturing through reporting all misunderstandings, the inside collaboration between employees and managers [11]. Antonio Sartal, Josep Llachb, Xosé H. Vázquezc, Rodolfo de Castro analyses Environmental and Information Technologies (ET&IT) in the capability of Lean Manufacturing (LM) to achieve improved industrial performance.…”

Many manufacturing cost reduction initiatives have been introduced over past three decades including lean manufacturing. Waste reduction and efficiency improvement are the main objectives of this initiative. It is developed from a set of tools and techniques and can fit nicely in cost focus or cost leadership competitive advantage strategies. But, keeping competitive advantage under the market circumstances are getting harder with growth of production quantity and product diversity. Therefore, paper's focus is lean manufacturing implementation trends and issues within the various manufacturing sector. Successes and failures of implementation of lean manufacturing in some industries are discussed. It was found that lean principles are good source of competitive advantage, it is applicable for many industries and its expansion and discussion are significantly progressing. The biggest threat in implementing lean is lack of understanding the concept but those who engage consultants were more successful.

“…GT is based on a progressive identification of the semantic categories generated by the direct analysis of speeches, discourses (obtained through interviews, focus group, consultation of written documents belonging to the investigated population, extensive audio-visual texts or any other technique of obtaining discursive data) and their aggregation into a theory, also similar to a theoretical model. Specialty literature defines GT as an inductive approach that starts with general observations and, during the analytical process, it creates conceptual categories that explain the investigated theme [1,11]. Data interpretation within this research was achieved through successive induction method specific to GT.…”

“…Furthermore, the transformation of ergonomics way of action (extension of its interdisciplinarity and integrating it in organizational psychology and sociology approaches) has supported the continuous improvement processes in lean manufacturing systems. Thus, ergonomics has been proved as a valuable field of knowledge and action for the multidisciplinary improvements [1,2,3,6]. This is the research context of the presented study, too.…”

“…In the last years, ergonomics approach has extended its interdisciplinarity including knowledge management approaches, occupational health and safety, risk management and organizational psychology and sociology perspectives [1]. Furthermore, the research results and interventions have a greater impact on improving working conditions in the industrial systems and better adapt human operators to their working environment, by reducing risks f all categories [2,3,4,5,6].…”

The paper describes a propose interdisciplinary approach for improving working conditions in production systems. The proposed approach has been customized and apply in the case of a lean production system in order to demonstrate its efficiency and effectiveness. The research approach and its associated methodology consists of three stages: (1) a qualitative research using the Grounded Theory, which provide a theoretical model on the the employees behavior within the analyzed lean production system; (2) a quantitative research, survey based on a designed questionnaire, for the investigation of the motivation – satisfaction relation; (3) a quantitative research for the ergonomic risk assessment associated with repetitive upper limb movements (that are dominant in the case of the assembly line that has been studied) using the OCRA method for the improvement of the workers stress. The research results contribute to the knowledge development and to the the diminishing of the occupational hazards and generating workplace wellbeing.

“…In particular, HRM is defined as a system of structured procedures aimed at optimizing the manpower management in a company (Azadeh and Zarrin, 2016), its workers being the most valuable assets of the organisation (Boatca and Cirjaliu, 2015). As asserted by Cirjaliu and Draghici (2016), nowadays companies seek to continuously improve the well-being and satisfaction of their human resources within their own operational environments.…”

A thesis under a co-tutelle agreement between UNIPA and UPV within their respective programmes of doctorates in "PROF. ALFREDO PERIS (UPV) THE TUTORS PROF. ANTONELLA CERTA (UNIPA) PROF. JULIO BENÍTEZ (UPV) PROF. JOAQUÍN IZQUIERDO (UPV)To my father, my mother and Nino The rock upon which I stand ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Three years ago I undertook a long and difficult, but beautiful journey, called a double PhD. It has been so challenging and undoubtedly the most important personal achievement of my whole life so far. I compared myself with something I thought was much bigger than me. Actually, in order to accomplish it successfully, I just needed to fully involve my heart. I did it without saving my strengths. What I have learnt during my doctorate will remain with me forever. Not only did I further develop my professional skills and my attitude to scientific research, but above all I made real my passion for discovery. Discovering the world, meeting new people, appreciating diversity, considering various manners of working and living, learning new languages, facing my weaknesses and getting over them. All of the things listed above unquestionably influenced my personal development. And personal growth is an endless process. It goes without saying that this doctoral thesis is the result of all my efforts and love. I dedicate it… To my father and my mother, the most important people in my life. I wish I could be even half as good person and engineer as they are. All that I am I owe to my parents. To my brother Nino, who is for me the best example of courage and who has had right answers to my doubts since we were just children. To my grandma Wilma, a great woman to whom I owe most of my personality. To all my family, especially to my grandparents Maria and Mario, and to my cousins/sisters Paola, Luisa and Carla. To Antonella and Joaquín, my "academic parents" and continuous sources of inspiration, who have transmitted me all their passion for this incredible job and taken care of my personal and professional growth in every possible way. They made my horizon larger and pushed me to continuously challenge myself. I consider them as a true family, more life-mentors rather than professors, and I will be always aware of the fundamental part they play in my life. To Julio, who has been indispensable to carry out this thesis and carefully followed all the stages of its development, with endless competence and kindness. It has been a true privilege to work with such a source of knowledge as Julio is. To Professor Giacomo Galante, who first believed in me when I was an undergraduate student and, after having supervised my master thesis, introduced me to the University world. To Professor Mario Enea, who kindly and fully supported me during the whole duration of my doctorate studies. To Manu and Idel, who treat me as I was their little sister, giving me a lot of attention and dedicating a lot of their priceless time (days, weeks, months) to teach me loads of things. They guided me across unforgettable and thought-provoking internat...
