Abstract:
Lean production originated in Japan and gained wide attention from its inception. It is defined as a multi-dimensional system with the central objective of waste elimination through practices that minimize supplier, customer and internal variability. It is believed that there is a link between Lean production and superior performance. In literature, however, the conclusions regarding Lean’s impact on performance are not totally consistent. In this work, by using a sample of 329 Portuguese enterprises and partial least squares–structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), we find that there is a positive impact of Lean on performance (operational, financial and market performance).
