This article aims at investigating the moderating role of customers’ and suppliers’ involvement on the association between Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies adoption and performance improvement. We conducted a survey with 147 Brazilian manufacturing companies to capture the improvement of 4 performance indicators, along with the implementation level...

Purpose – This article identifies the association between two methods for teaching Lean Manufacturing (LM), problem-based learning (PBL) and classroom lectures, and students’ learning styles of a postgraduate course. Design/methodology/approach – Data was collected data from graduate students who are undergoing LM courses that present different tea...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of practitioners’ experience and generational differences on the adoption level of lean production (LP) principles in their daily decisions and behaviors. Design/methodology/approach The authors carried out a cross-sector survey with 135 practitioners from different Brazilian manufactu...

Purpose This paper aims at investigating the moderating effect of the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies on the relationship between lean supply chain management (LSCM) practices and supply chain performance improvement in the Brazilian industry. Design/methodology/approach The authors carried out a survey over 147 Brazilian manufacturing com...

This study presents a stochastic analysis for economic viability of an occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) project, evaluating the associated risks for a Brazilian electricity distribution company. The method followed four steps: (i) elaboration of discounted cash flow (FC) for the project; (ii) identification of risks associa...

This study aims at investigating whether EI (Employees' Involvement) constitutes the mediating link relating Industry 4.0 technologies to operational performance improvement in emerging countries. When manufacturing companies within this socioeconomic context adopt Industry 4.0 technologies, they may either reinforce or undermine the importance of...

This article investigates the moderating effect of the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies on the relationship between Lean Supply Chain Management (LSCM) practices and supply chain performance improvement in the Brazilian industry. The study is based on a survey with manufacturing companies to capture the improvement of four supply chain perform...

Devido a uma crescente concorrência mundial em relação ao desempenho operacional e lucros empresariais, a Lean Manufacturing (LM) tem sido uma matéria emergente e relevante entre os cursos de pós-graduação em Engenharia de Produção e Gestão de Negócios. Apesar dos avanços no ensino de princípios e técnicas de LM, o caráter prático inerente ao LM mi...

As more companies embrace the concept of Lean Manufacturing (LM), universities should consider changing their curricula since there is a high likelihood that students will participate in some aspects of LM as they begin their professional careers. Thus, it is important to provide appropriate learning experiences to prepare students prior to LM. How...

This paper has two major objectives. First, we aim to provide a framework in order to define the exact practices and bundles that should be considered as pertained to Lean Supply Chain Management (LSCM). Although several authors have proposed definitions of LSCM, there is neither systemic nor comprehensive definitions of the bundles and organizatio...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the effect of a set of contextual variables on the implementation of lean supply chain (LSC) practices. The authors do that by investigating one main research question: “how do the contextual variables (i.e. plant size, supply chain level, level of onshore suppliers and age of the LM i...

Lean manufacturing (LM) is an approach that comprises principles and management practices that aim to reduce waste and improve operational effectiveness throughout the entire value stream in continuous improvement endless journey. Due to that, the ability to innovate, change and learn continuously is a key element in the LM implementation. Several...

Investment projects, mostly, are not immutable ventures and have means of redirect throughout its useful life. However traditional methods of investment analysis, consider the analysis of a single decision taken at the initial moment of the investment, which isolates them from reality. Assuming that ventures in real estate brings with it various op...

Despite the fact that Lean Manufacturing (LM) implementation has been widely discussed in the literature, a reduced number of works focus on medium-sized enterprises (MEs). Such gap becomes more evident when searching for works exploring the dimensions of learning organisation (DLO) that surround LM implementation in MEs. This paper aims at assessi...

This paper presents the application of an economic–probabilistic model to conduct risk analysis in technological innovation (TI) projects. The model integrates risk and economic analysis by quantifying both value and probability of occurrence of cash flow deviations, thus resulting in an economic–probabilistic analysis of the expected returns. The...

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso do modelo de Governança de TI de um Programa de Pós-graduação. O estudo é realizado com o uso de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas que exploram aspectos complexos e inter-relacionados, de difícil identificação por métodos quantitativos. As entrevistas possibilitam mapear a Governança de TI do Program...

Os projetos de investimentos, em sua maioria, não são empreendimentos imutáveis e possuem alternativas de redirecionamento ao longo de sua vida útil. Entretanto os métodos tradicionais de análise de investimentos consideram a análise de uma única decisão tomada no momento inicial do investimento, o que os distancia da realidade. O presente trabalho...

A atual conjuntura do mercado, frente à globalização e a evolução dos processos produtivos, obrigam as empresas a encontrarem meios de tornar seus processos e produtos mais competitivos. Pensando nisso, esse trabalho tem como principal objetivo utilizar as ferramentas estatísticas pertencentes aos projetos 6 sigma para identificar as principais fon...

Brazil is the prototypical emerging country, poised for economic and social growth. However, much of its economy is still tied to low-technology products and services. To improve its global competitiveness, Brazil must further develop its information and communication technologies.

This work presents an analysis of IT Governance in a Postgraduate Program. The research was fulfilled by semi-structured individual interviews and quantitative research with close-ended questions. Individual interviews were used to map Program's IT Governance, while quantitative research allows quantifying IT Governance performance and customer sat...

O ambiente competitivo em que as empresas de tecnologia estão inseridas exige que estas se adaptem de forma rápida às mudanças, buscando opções que tragam flexibilidade para seus investimentos. Muitos modelos de avaliação de investimentos têm falhado em capturar o valor desta flexibilidade. Este trabalho apresenta uma análise dos modelos de avaliaç...
