“…This provides a useful link with the project management literature, and we return to this link later in the paper. Tomašević et al (2020) addressed the investigation of the available research on lean in high complex and low volume industries. They are primarily concerned with understanding the application of lean thinking in such environments, which are similar, but defined according to slightly different frame of reference.…”

“…However, the fact that the existing body of LM knowledge is disperse and diverse in nature, hinders researchers from gaining a real grasp of this topic (Yadav et al , 2017). Moreover, LM has not been clearly and consistently defined (Tortorella and Fettermann, 2018; Ciano et al , 2019; Tomasevic et al , 2020), as authors seem to have different opinions on which elements are associated with the concept, which causes some confusion on a theoretical and practical level (Pettersen, 2009; Samuel et al , 2015; Dora et al , 2016). Thus, LM is still a controversial concept in both academic and business environments (Hasle et al , 2012; Samuel et al , 2015).…”

“…Uriarte et al (2020) identified the state-of-the-art existing methods and frameworks for combining Lean and simulation, and the key research perspectives and challenges, based on studies published between 1990 and 2017. Tomasevic et al (2020) analyzed theoretical aspects of Lean in high-mix/low-volume industry identifying the level of Lean maturity, the scope of Lean, the way Lean is implemented, tools and practices that are commonly used and possible directions for future research, based on studies published up to September 2019. Peralta et al (2020) explored the practices used to identify customer value through Lean approaches and presented the future research agenda on customer value identification, reviewing the literature until May 2019.…”

Purpose A rich agenda for future research in the field of Lean Manufacturing (LM) is available in the academic literature. The purpose of this paper is to determine the LM future research methodologies suggested in the literature and to classify them into themes. Classifying these themes into broad categories is also an aim of the present study. Design/methodology/approach For the purpose of the present study, a systematic literature review (SLR) of peer reviewed journal articles in LM was conducted. A total of 214 articles published in 46 journals during 2010–2020 were collected from four major management science publishers, namely, Emerald Online, Elsevier/Science Direct, Springer Link and Taylor and Francis. To organize the qualitative data into meaningful themes and these themes into broad categories, the quality tool “affinity diagram” was applied. Findings The review of LM articles that are increasing over time reveals the “vital few” academic journals, which have published most of the sample articles. The plethora of the suggested future research methodologies are analytically presented and classified into meaningful themes, namely, the size of the research sample and its composition, several types of study (other than surveys), longitudinal studies, applying advanced statistical analysis and (mathematical) modeling techniques, objective, real and quantitative data, surveys, mixed/multiple research studies, reliability and validity analysis, using computer-aided technology for data collection and processing and research collaborations. These themes in turn are classified into broad categories, namely, study, data and statistical analysis and modeling. Research limitations/implications This SLR is not comprehensive because the number of the databases searched is restricted to four. Moreover, the literature review is limited to peer reviewed journal articles regarding Lean only in the manufacturing sector, while the subject reviewed is limited to the future research methodologies. The subjectivity of classifying the large number of the future research methodologies into themes and these themes into broad categories is also a limitation of the present SLR. Based on these limitations, future literature review studies can be carried out. Practical implications Researchers can be analytically informed about the future research methodologies suggested in the literature and their respective key themes and broad categories, to design original research studies of high academic and practical value. Originality/value This study goes beyond previous SLRs on LM by presenting analytically the plethora of the future research methodologies suggested in the literature as well as by identifying natural patterns or groupings of these methodologies.

Country-related future research agenda of Lean Manufacturing–A systematic literature review

PurposeMany future research proposals of Lean Manufacturing (LM) are presented in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to determine these future research proposals of LM which are country-related and classify them.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) of peer-reviewed journal articles in LM was conducted. A total of 145 articles published in 34 journals during 2010–2020 were collected from four major management science publishers namely, Emerald Online, Elsevier/Science Direct, Springer Link and Taylor and Francis. The country-related future research proposals of LM identified in the literature were classified according to, firstly, the continent of the country of reference, and secondly, some form of natural affinity of these proposals creating meaningful themes. The quality tool “affinity diagram” was applied to classify the country-related future research proposals of LM.FindingsThe country-related future research proposals of LM, which are increasing in the literature over time, refer mostly to studies to be conducted in several continents/countries and to multinational studies. Conducting studies specifically in Asia, Europe, South and North America, Africa and Australia–New Zealand is also suggested. The plethora of the country-related future research proposals of LM were classified, based on the affinity of their content, into 18 meaningful themes. These themes were also classified based on their affinity into two broad categories, namely “themes concerning the LM approach itself” and “themes concerning factors outside the LM approach”.Research limitations/implicationsThe restricted number of the databases searched and the subjectivity of classifying the large number of the country-related future research proposals into themes are the main limitations of the present SLR. Based on these limitations, future literature review studies can be carried out.Practical implicationsUseful proposals are provided to researchers of several countries for conducting original and country-specific research studies which can enrich the knowledge of the implementation of LM under the specific circumstances of a country for the benefit of practitioners.Originality/valueThis study goes beyond previous literature review studies on LM by focusing exclusively on the LM future research agenda which is country related. The analytical presentation of the country-related future research proposals as well as the formulation of clusters of these proposals make the present SLR study substantially different from those carried out worldwide so far.
