PurposeThe study aims to explore how lean research and development (R&D) tools and techniques (T&T: i.e. R&D hard practices) affect the relationship between lean R&D soft practices and organization performance within R&D-based manufacturing firms in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachThe current study is a quantitative study that utilized an online survey questionnaire for data collection. Data were collected based on a cross-sectional survey of R&D managers from 102 R&D-based manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the impact of lean R&D soft and hard practices on firms' performance.FindingsAs per the study findings, it was determined that T&T of lean R&D was significant mediator in the relationship between lean R&D soft practices (i.e. managerial practices, transformational leadership, financial capability and supplier involvement) and R&D firms' performance.Practical implicationsThe study delivers an important message to R&D companies that lean practices could be applied in R&D environments to drive organization performance.Originality/valueThe study extends the knowledge regarding lean principles and framework beyond the domains of production and services. The study offers new conceptual contribution in term of lean principles and framework in R&D environments by introducing the role of lean R&D tools and technique to enhance the effects of lean R&D practices on organization performance.

“…Supplier collaboration as a socially responsible development practice has been utilized to facilitate the reduction or elimination of late design changes and assure the supplier is capable of producing the automobile parts for which they were contracted (Denay, 2021;Flankegård et al, 2021). Supplier collaboration correspondingly enhances communication between suppliers and the buying firm and enables the transfer of accurate information needed to guarantee the product's desired quality.…”

Sustainable supplier development helps to improve mutually the supplier’s as well as the buying company sustainability performance. The producer could choose guidance, compliance or capacity building activities to develop its supplier or implement them all. This paper aims to present how the car producers practice sustainable supplier development taking into account different types of approaches and implementation tools. The authors applied content analysis to investigate approaches of six car producers from EU member states. The data was collected from the sustainability reports and complemented with the available information of the supplier sustainability requirements and the code of conduct of each car producer. The findings revealed that analysed car producers use similar approaches to develop their suppliers in the context of sustainability. All of them use mix of activities from all identified categories and collaborate within industry initiatives devoted to spread sustainability in supply chain.

“…Among several other key factors, the supplier selection and management has long been identified as a major strategic tool for improving a firm’s competence [ 6 ]. Supplier selection is a strategic process to select the right set of suppliers to ensure adequate quality supply of raw materials or components at any given time to ensure timely manufacturing of finished-good-products [ 16 ]. Therefore, a good supplier selection strategy must ensure optimal selection of suppliers considering several crucial factors like supplier’s delivery capacity, their quality level, environmental costs, delivery lead time, and various other cost parameters.…”

An integrated mathematical model based on grey optimal ranking for supplier selection considering pandemic situation

Optimal selection and allocation of suppliers are crucial decisions for an organization and it becomes more critical when the firm faces disruptive events. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has led to massive supply disruptions in a supply chain. This paper aims to address the supplier selection and allocation problem of manufacturing firms under pandemic environment. In this study, a novel Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model integrated with grey optimal ranking of suppliers considering factors related to pandemic situation is proposed. The methodology is implemented in two subsequent stages. In the first stage, Grey Relational Analysis is adopted to determine the grey possibility scoring, and in the second stage, a supplier selection model is proposed to integrate the grey scoring to a MILP model to determine optimal allocation of suppliers. The paper presents a numerical study to demonstrate the proposed model and sensitivity analysis is conducted to deduce key managerial insights regarding the factors affecting the allocation under pandemic situation. Further, the illustration demonstrates how the proposed method integrates the expert ranking based approach and the cost minimization approach. The study is generic in nature and provides useful directions for practitioners involved in supplier selection in manufacturing organizations.
