The use of lean production methods to drive sustainable competitive advantage has been a cornerstone of worldwide manufacturing strategy since the early 1980's. Unfortunately, success from using lean has been mixed. Some researchers suggest that contextual variables play a central role in explaining the inconsistent results. This study evaluates the role of one critical contextual variable, organizational culture, in realizing operational improvements from lean. We investigate the influence of four distinct organizational cultures, as well as a hybrid culture and a firm's ability to be culturally ambidextrous, on the relationship between lean and operational performance, as measured by cost, quality, delivery and flexibility. We find that lean is able to maximize cost reduction in any organizational culture setting, but requires a supportive organizational culture to maximize quality, delivery, and flexibility improvements. Further, realizing quality improvements from lean is particularly sensitive to organizational culture. We also find that a developmental culture is the most supportive of lean; it outperforms all other individual cultures and performs as well as more complex cultural arrangements, such as a hybrid culture or a firm's ability to be culturally ambidextrous. Since a developmental culture is characterized by flexibility and an ability to embrace change, we propose that these organizational attributes unleash an advanced implementation of lean which results in superior operational performance.

精益生产和运营绩效:组织文化的影响

自从1980年代初以来,使用精益生产方法来获得可持续的竞争优势一直是全球制造战略的基石。不幸的是,使用精益的成功喜忧参半。一些研究人员认为,上下文变量在解释不一致的结果中起着核心作用。这项研究评估了一个关键的上下文变量组织文化在实现精益运营改进中的作用。我们通过成本,质量,交付和灵活性来衡量四种不同的组织文化,一种混合​​文化以及一家企业在文化上具有灵活性的能力对精益与运营绩效之间关系的影响。我们发现精益能够在任何组织文化环境中最大程度地降低成本,但需要一种支持性的组织文化,以最大程度地提高质量,交付和灵活性。此外,从精益实现质量改进对组织文化特别敏感。我们还发现,发展文化是最支持精益的。它的表现优于其他所有个体文化,并且表现得更好,而且表现更复杂,例如混合文化或公司具有文化灵活性的能力。由于发展文化的特点是灵活性和适应变化的能力,因此我们建议这些组织属性释放精益的高级实现方式,从而实现卓越的运营绩效。通过精益实现质量改进对组织文化特别敏感。我们还发现,发展文化是最支持精益的。它的表现优于其他所有个体文化,并且表现得更好,并且表现出更复杂的文化安排,例如混合文化或公司的文化灵活性。由于发展文化的特点是灵活性和适应变化的能力,因此我们建议这些组织属性释放精益的高级实现方式,从而实现卓越的运营绩效。通过精益实现质量改进对组织文化特别敏感。我们还发现,发展文化是最支持精益的。它的表现优于其他所有个体文化,并且表现得更好,而且表现更复杂,例如混合文化或公司具有文化灵活性的能力。由于发展文化的特点是灵活性和适应变化的能力,因此我们建议这些组织属性释放精益的高级实现方式,从而实现卓越的运营绩效。在文化上具有灵活性。由于发展文化的特点是灵活性和适应变化的能力,因此我们建议这些组织属性释放精益的高级实现方式,从而实现卓越的运营绩效。在文化上具有灵活性。由于发展文化的特点是灵活性和适应变化的能力,因此我们建议这些组织属性释放精益的高级实现方式,从而实现卓越的运营绩效。
