越来越多的制造商实施精益实践来提高运营绩效。此外，制造商的运营环境变得更加复杂和不稳定。本研究调查了环境复杂性和动态性对精益运营和精益采购实践的影响。它使用来自 126 个制造商的档案和调查数据对这些关系进行了实证检验。结果表明，环境复杂性正向调节精益运营和精益采购对绩效的影响。然而，环境活力降低了精益运营对绩效的好处，但增强了精益采购对绩效的好处。稳健性测试进一步证实了复杂性和活力对精益运营和精益采购的偶然影响。这项研究提供了对外部环境背景对精益实践的影响的更细致的理解，并建议从业者在实施不同类型的精益实践时应仔细考虑外部环境。 (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Increasingly manufacturers implement lean practices to improve operational performance. In addition, manufacturers operate in ever more complex and volatile environments. This research investigates the effects of environmental complexity and dynamism on lean operations and lean purchasing practices. It empirically examines these relationships using archival and survey data from 126 manufacturers. The results show that environmental complexity positively moderates the effects of lean operations and lean purchasing on performance. However, environmental dynamism reduces the benefits of lean operations on performance, but enhances the benefits of lean purchasing on performance. Robustness tests further confirm the contingent effects of complexity and dynamism on lean operations and lean purchasing. This research offers a more nuanced understanding of the effect of external environmental context on lean practices, and suggests that practitioners should carefully consider the external environment when implementing different types of lean practices.
