R.G. Schroeder’s scientific contributions

... The systematic approach suggested by Flynn et al. [67] for empirical research was applied in this research. The research gap was articulated through a substantial literature review, and then a survey was performed to examine the objectives. ...

... Studies in operations management have shown that improving conformance quality results in higher levels of on-time deliveries (Schroeder et al., 1996). Conformance quality reduces reprocessing time in manufacturing operations by making the process stable and reliable. ...

... quality awards, EFQM model) are found to positively influence PDP. Our evidence is consistent with previous findings (Flynn et al., 1995a;Nair, 2006;Tan, 2001) which suggest that QMPs account for a large variance in performance. Second, the partial mediation effect of QMPs between RMI and PDP indicates that effective product development requires close interaction between diverse business functions (Standish et al., 1994;Cooper, 2019;Jugend et al., 2018;Pant and Chavan, 2018). ...

... The empirical operations literature linking JIT to performance has viewed JIT in several ways: (1) as a single-dimensional construct (e.g., Bortolotti et al., 2013;Shah and Ward, 2003;Swink et al., 2005;Ward and Zhou, 2006), (2) as a multi-dimensional construct (e.g., Ahmad and Schroeder, 2001;Cua et al., 2001;Fullerton and McWatters, 2001;Matsui, 2007), or (3) as multiple constructs corresponding to selected individual JIT practices (e.g., Avittathur and Swamidass, 2007;Inman et al., 2011;Ketokivi and Schroeder, 2004;Narasimhan et al., 2006). Given the lack of a generally accepted conceptualization of JIT in the literature, we consider a meta-study in which Mackelprang and Nair (2010) use ten JIT practices in their meta-analysis, following Mehra and Inman (1992) and Sakakibara et al. (1993) ( Table 1). ...

... Top management support refers to the endorsement and involvement of the highest-ranking executives in initiatives and implementing strategies (Garrett Jr & Neubaum, 2013). Flynn et al. (1995) and Powell (1995) assert that top management involvement is crucial as it significantly impacts the overall strategic direction of the organisation (Flynn et al., 1995;Powell, 1995). In recent scholarly literature, the importance of top management support has been further emphasised. ...

... In order to meet the uncertainties in customer demands, concurrent engineering practices have evolved during the product development stage. In product design, improvement in quality is sought by gathering customer feedback, reducing the total number of components and, thereby, increasing reliability (Flynn, Sakakibara & Schroeder, 1995). It has been mentioned that the overall quality improves because of the formation and the greater involvement of cross-functional teams. ...
