Implementing lean production systems: research areas and opportunities for future studies
Abstract
The increasing use of lean production (LP) by companies from several sectors has substantially increased the amount of publications and different emphases on the subject, which amplifies the need for organisation of that knowledge. This article aims to identify the research areas on LP implementation and to propose research opportunities. The literature review was based on 102 studies published in the years between 1996 and 2012. The studies were divided into six research areas, named: (a) structure and scope of LP systems; (b) factors that influence in the LP implementation; (c) methods for implementing LP systems; (d) LP assessment methods; (e) results of implementing LP systems; and (f) adaptation of LP to particular sectors. The findings suggested that the substantial increase on the amount of publications on LP implementation has created fragmented and dissociated areas that would benefit from integration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
