“…Another study conducted by Verma., N. (2015) [18] found gender discrimination exists in senior management positions in top 50 American sample companies in 2008. Cavaletto, G.M., et al (2018) [6] found a lack of equal opportunity policies in the sample companies, as well as gender prejudice in promotions to senior positions. Øystein Strøm, R. (2015) [13] on the other hand, examined the impact of gender quotas on female board representation in Norway from 1989 to 2002 and discovered no discrimination during the study period.…”

The present study reveals gender inequality in the boards of Indian banks. The present study examines the impact of section 149 of the Companies Act 2013 on female directors' appointment to the board of directors in the Indian Banking Sector. The present study also examines whether there is a need to revise the existing law. Data from five public-sector banks and five private-sector banks were collected for this study over a ten-year period, from 2010-11 to 2019-20. Various statistical methods, such as mean, percentage, "t" test, and Paired t test, were used for analysis. According to the study's findings, the majority of sample banks are just following the law and appointing one female director to their board. Data shows significant gender inequality on corporate boards. Second, there has been an increase in the number of female directors appointed to BODs after the implementation of the Companies Act 2013. Lastly, results show that there is more gender inequality on the boards of public sector banks than on the boards of private sector banks.

Purpose This study aims to highlight the system-wide potential relationships between forms of human bias, selected Lean tools and types of waste in a manufacturing process. Design/methodology/approach A longitudinal single-site ethnographic case study using digital processing to make a material receiving process Lean was adopted. An inherent knowledge process with internal stakeholders in a stimulated situation alongside process requirements was performed to achieve quality data collection. The results of the narrative analysis and process observation, combined with a literature review identified widely used Lean tools, wastes and biases that produced a model for the relationships. Findings The study established the relationships between bias, Lean tools and wastes which enabled 97.6% error reduction, improved on-time accounting and eliminated three working hours per day. These savings resulted in seven employees being redeployed to new areas with delivery time for products reduced by seven days. Research limitations/implications The single site case study with a supporting literature survey underpinning the model would benefit from testing the model in application to different industries and locations. Practical implications Application of the model can identify potential relationships between a group of human biases, 25 Lean tools and 10 types of wastes in Lean manufacturing processes that support decision makers and line managers in productivity improvement. The model can be used to identify potential relationships between forms of human biases, Lean tools and types of wastes in Lean manufacturing processes and take suitable remedial actions. The influence of biases and the model could be used as a basis to counter implementation barriers and reduce system-wide wastes. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that connects the cognitive perspectives of Lean business processes with waste production and human biases. As part of the process, a relationship model is derived.
