Lean principles, learning, and knowledge work: Evidence from a software services provider (2011, background): “Significant recent work has defined the ―how‖ of lean production in manufacturing (MacDuffie, 1995; Narasimhan et al., 2006; Shah and Ward, 2003, 2007).”
The link between supply chain fit and financial performance of the firm (2012, background): “agile manufacturing (e.g., Inman et al., 2011; Narasimhan et al., 2006) and supply chain strategies (Qi et al.”
Developing a resilient supply chain strategy during ‘boom’ and ‘bust’ (2016, background): “, 2008) and complex supply chain pr ocedures have als o amplified the importance of handling the “ veryday risks ” that emerge, especially at the operational level (Pettit et al., 2010).”
Antecedents and enablers of supply chain agility and its effect on performance: a dynamic capabilities perspective (2013, positive): “The construct supply chain agility is measured by indicators assessing the firm’s adaptability to changing market and customer developments, and by items measuring its supply, production and demand flexibility (Narasimhan et al. 2006, Swafford et al. 2006).”
Lessons from seru production on manufacturing competitively in a high cost environment (2017, background): “Practices strongly associated with lean, such as minimizing setups (and setup time), cross-training, reducing process lead times, and forging close relationships with suppliers, are also commonly associated with agile (Narasimhan et al., 2006).”
RECONCEPTUALIZING THE EFFECTS OF LEAN ON PRODUCTION COSTS WITH EVIDENCE FROM THE F-22 PROGRAM (2009, background): “The left column of Table 1 compiles a superset of lean practices from several sources (Chase et al. 2006; de Treville and Antonakis 2006; Fullerton et al. 2003; Hopp and Spearman 2004; McLachlin 1997; Narasimhan et al. 2006; Santos et al. 2006; Shah and Ward 2003).”
Exploring the relationships between IT competence, innovation capacity and organizational agility (2017, background): “Others have operationalized agility in terms of speed with which supply chains respond to shifts in demand (Narasimhan and Das, 1999) and sought to distinguish agility from concepts such as leanness (Narasimhan et al., 2006).”
Defining and developing measures of lean production (2007, background): “It is our intention to contribute to scholarly agreement on such a stipulative definition and to the emerging academic literature related to lean production (Narasimhan et al., 2006; De Treville and Antonakis, 2006; Hopp and Spearman, 2004).”
The evolution of production systems from Industry 2.0 through Industry 4.0 (2018, methodology): “Krafcik (1988) coined the term lean for the TPS created by Ohno (1988). TPS is an integrated system that can supply products to meet both requirements of product volumes and product varieties.”
A theoretical review of flexibility, agility and responsiveness in the operations management literature: Toward a conceptual definition of customer responsiveness (2009, background): “Ability to efficiently change operating states in response to uncertain and changing demands placed upon it Narasimhan et al. (2006) Table II.”
