“…According to Carvalho et al (2012) and Azadegan et al (2013), if any supplier engages in opportunistic behaviour, the entire supply chain could be affected, increasing pollution. Resilience raises awareness of the responsibility for making sustainable purchases and preventing and controlling the emergence of opportunistic behaviour in purchases (Rachid, 2017;Laasch and Gherardi, 2019). In controlling supplier production activities, if resilience leads to prevention, many researchers have also proven that resilience certainly has a positive effect on the control of the production activities of suppliers, on ensuring that these production activities abide by environmental awareness, and on avoiding high levels of pollution in operational processes.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore when win‒win lean practices can be combined with auditing mechanisms, specifically when adopting the combination of the two. In it, we investigate which capabilities are produced and how they build a stronger control system and produce a greater control force for supplier involvement in the development of the lean practices environment. Does the control force have a positive effect on raising resilience and further realizing the targets of sustainable supplier management? The resource-based view (RBV) is an important theoretical basis for this study. Covariance-based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) is the main method applied to analyse data from 231 Chinese manufacturers to test and verify the research questions. To test and verify the research questions with CB-SEM before, we test and measure the validity and reliability of the constructs through factor loadings, composite reliability (CR), and average variance extracted (AVE). In addition, we also verify the discriminant validity through the Fornell-Lacker criterion and Cross Loadings and test the multicollinearity. We use AMOS and SPSS 23.0 as our analysis tools. According to the test results, win‒win lean practices can increase supplier dependence on leading companies or manufacturers. It can drive supplier involvement in the formulation of a lean practice environment, expand control over suppliers, produce greater visibility, and further have a positive effect on resilience. In addition, when combined with auditing mechanisms, dependency will drive suppliers to cooperate with auditing practices and reduce their resistance, increase their involvement in the formulation of lean practice environments, further promoting resilience. In addition, dependency and auditing intervention will induce or even raise stakeholder pressure, which can usually maintain the supplier’s cooperation. Finally, dependence, positive intervention, and stakeholder pressure can be deemed strategic resources or capabilities. Based on the above, a cycle between three will be formulated and become a stronger control system, producing greater control force to continue maintaining supplier involvement. It will produce a positive effect to enhance resilience and further realize sustainable supplier management.

Purpose Despite the benefits provided by the implementation of the lean philosophy, the most recent research discusses whether the high degrees of efficiency obtained with the implementation this philosophy could contribute positively or negatively in current pandemic scenario. This study aims to analyze how resilient construction industry companies in Brazil were in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing the performance of construction companies with different implementation levels of lean construction. Design/methodology/approach Three case studies were carried out in construction companies in Brazil with different application levels of the lean philosophy. Findings Among the results obtained, greater resilience to face COVID-19 was verified in those with a higher implementation level of the lean philosophy. Additionally, it was found that the larger the size of the companies surveyed, the greater the level of implementation of the lean philosophy. Research limitations/implications Due to the state of pandemic, and the work carried out in the home office, contact with companies was restricted. In addition, few companies actually adopt the lean philosophy in the construction sector in Brazil. Most of companies use only a few lean construction tools in specific sectors. For the few others who actually implement the philosophy, the acceptance to participate in the research was low. Originality/value The lean construction is something very new and innovative for the construction sector in Brazil, and there is little evidence of its use. Few companies adopt the philosophy in the country, and many of them also did not experience such an impactful moment in their entire existence. Thus, the analysis of the relationship between lean construction and resilience in the civil construction sector in Brazil is something innovative.

“…A few researchers, however, suggest that not only will the integration of lean and resilience assist supply chains and operations to become more productive, streamlined and sustainable, but this will also work for paradigms such as green and agile [57,78]. Consequently, authors such as Ramirez-Peña et al [63], Rachid [73], and Carvalho and Machado [49] have examined the amalgamation of the lean, agile, resilient and green (LARG) paradigms. These four have an identical overall objective: to meet customer needs at the lowest possible cost to all members in the supply chain.…”

The Integration of Lean and Resilience Paradigms: A Systematic Review Identifying Current and Future Research Directions

Integration of the lean and resilience paradigms has attracted increasing attention among scientists and practitioners. In an interconnected world, the need to be resilient involves increased readiness to deal with risks from both outside and inside an enterprise, and to be lean involves maximizing value while minimizing waste. The combination of these requirements has been the catalyst for a move towards lean–resilience operations. To better understand this trend, which seeks to help firms retain a competitive position and survive disruptions, this paper provides a systematic literature review of 53 articles identified through the C-I-M-O (context-intervention-mechanism-outcome) framework and examines them using descriptive and content analysis. The results trace the growth of lean–resilience research from its infancy to its current advanced state. This paper also identifies for the first time the lack of structured research on the number and categories of implemented practices and their associated benefits. To address this deficiency, a concept map is developed to provide guidance on the topic, identify gaps and inconsistencies in the literature, understand the state of development and suggest future research directions. The results are used to identify four dominant streams: application, compatibility, integration, and impact assessment in the context of the supply chain, conceptual development and operational research of various organizational and industry sectors. Further topics for investigation are recommended in the form of research questions. The proposed concept map is intended to assist researchers and practitioners to develop knowledge about the integration of lean and resilience paradigms in new contexts and formulate more effective deployment strategies.
