Cloud computing has emerged as a vital tool for facilitating information-sharing and collaboration in supply chain operations. However, how the information is shared in the cloud-based supply chain has not been thoroughly investigated. Thus, adopting a system dynamics approach, this research deepens the understanding of information transmission wit...

Purpose The view that dynamic capabilities theory can help explain how lean organizations improve has been put forward by scholars. However, there is still a lack of research on the matching relationship between the application of lean practice and the internal elements of enterprise organization from the perspective of dynamic capabilities. The pu...

In the context of collaborative manufacturing, cyber risk caused by cyber attacks may lead to severe supply chain disruption. Currently, supplier selection and order allocation is regarded as effective means to mitigate the risks that might cause disruption. Thus, we propose a two-stage hybrid model for supplier selection and order allocation under...

The positive effect of Lean Bundles (LBs) on Operational Performance (OP) has been widely investigated. However, the moderating mechanism on the relationship between LBs and OP remains unclear. Lean literature suggested that the contextual factors (such as, plant size) would affect the effectiveness of LBs. However, existing literatures focused on...

Purpose-Value stream mapping (VSM) is a visualization tool to identify and eliminate waste and widely applied in manufacturing, transportation, construction, service and other industries, especially in the Industrial 4.0 technology era. The purpose of this paper is to review and analyze the VSM literature to identify the advances and hotspots of VS...

Purpose Given the complexity of building information modeling (BIM) adoption decisions in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, understanding BIM adoption decision-making through the net effect of a single factor on BIM adoption decisions alone is limited. Therefore, this paper...

Purpose Existing studies suggested that there is a nonlinear relationship between lean production adoption and organizational performance. Lean production adoption is a gradual process, and the application status of lean tools will affect enterprise performance. The existing literature has insufficiently explored the nonlinear relationship of the l...

This paper develops an agent-based model with linking variables (ABML) to investigate the influencing factors for the new energy vehicles (NEVs) market in China. The ABML is a framework with three-level variables including micro, linking, and macro variables, which can reduce the complexity of the simulation. The emergence from bottom to top occurs...

It is essential for enterprises to develop lean sustainability. In this way, both the learning and understanding of the knowledge of lean tools becomes necessary. In fact, knowledge management plays a key role in the application of lean tools. In this paper, an in-depth exploration is carried out, investigating the mechanism of knowledge management...

It has always been the primary concern of the researchers and practitioners to carry out lean production successfully in enterprises. Most of the existing studies use performance as a measure to investigate the impact of lean practices on performance through empirical methods, and stated that lean practices have a positive impact on enterprise perf...

This paper presents an assessment method to measure the lean transformation (LT) stage of an LT enterprise. Although there are many assessment tools to measure the various aspects of lean practices in enterprises, there is none to measure the stage of LT using the enterprise transformation characteristics from enterprise level. In this paper, the c...

Lean production and energy consumption has become a new trend of every industrial management. For example, the traditional Chinese medicine department, lean cover overall treatments operations. If every step did not waste resource, cost down, carbon elimination, and saving energy consumption would be possible. This study attempted to explore the ex...
