Abstract
An integrated model of lean manufacturing techniques and technological process to attain the competitive priority
Highlights
Nowadays, to adapt to market and environmental changes, most of the organizations started to implement manufacturing initiatives such as lean and agile approaches (Hallgren & Olhager, 2009)
This study aims to evaluate the impact of these factors on competitive priority through evaluating the technological process as a mediating factor in clothing companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange, which is considered as one of the important industrial sectors in Jordan
1- Results of testing the first main hypothesis: According to the results provided by Table 4 the impact value of Manufacturing techniques on competitive priority was expressed by the standardized beta coefficient it was found to be (0.584) and this impact value was considered to be statistically significant as the related probability value (0.000) was < 0.05
Summary
To adapt to market and environmental changes, most of the organizations started to implement manufacturing initiatives such as lean and agile approaches (Hallgren & Olhager, 2009). Lean manufacturing (LM) was practiced and developed for the primary time in Toyota Motors Japan to maximize worth and scale back waste within the producing system (Kumar & Kumar, 2015; Stevenson, 2010) In this line, (LM) is known as new system recently implemented in many organizations, which primarily aimed at reducing unnecessary spending and eliminating non-value-added activities in the supply chain. Lean manufacturing is capable of accomplishing activities and operations of the entities continuously to obtain a faster response to customers, increasing the quality level For that purpose, it deploys a range of analytical methods and techniques as well as specific instruments that allow the flow of value in the sense of logic of continuous improvement. The strategic dimensions of agility start from receiving the new components of the equipment, the procedures, and the applicability of the operations before delivery to the customer
