Abstract

PurposeThe apparel industry of Bangladesh is rethinking lean manufacturing (LM) deployment because of the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to COVID-19, LM implementation in the apparel industry has become more difficult. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the barriers to implementing LM practices in the apparel industry of Bangladesh in the context of COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachFor evaluating the barriers, an integrated framework that combines the Delphi method and fuzzy total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) has been designed. The application of fuzzy TISM has resulted in a structured hierarchical relationship model of the barriers with driving and driven power.FindingsThe findings reveal that “lack of synchronization of lean planning with strategic planning”, “lack of proper understanding of lean concept” and “low priority from the top management” are the three top most important barriers of LM implementation in apparel industry.Practical implicationsThese findings will help the apparel industry to formulate strategy for implementing the LM practices successfully. The proposed model is expected to contribute to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) such as Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12); Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8); Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9) via resilient strategies.Originality/valueThis study is one of few initial efforts to investigate LM implementation barriers during the COVID-19 epidemic in a real-world setting.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行背景下探索精益制造障碍的综合方法:对可持续性的影响
由于COVID-19大流行带来的挑战,孟加拉国服装业正在重新考虑精益制造(LM)的部署。由于COVID-19, LM在服装行业的实施变得更加困难。因此,本研究的目的是探讨在COVID-19大流行的背景下,孟加拉国服装行业实施LM实践的障碍。设计/方法/方法为评估障碍,设计了一个结合德尔菲法和模糊总体解释结构模型(TISM)的综合框架。应用模糊关系理论,建立了障碍物与驱动力、驱动力之间的结构层次关系模型。研究发现:“精益计划与战略计划缺乏同步”、“对精益概念缺乏正确的理解”和“高层管理不重视”是服装行业实施精益管理的三个最重要的障碍。实际意义这些发现将有助于服装行业制定战略,成功实施LM实践。拟议的模式预计将有助于实现可持续发展目标(SDG),如负责任的消费和生产(SDG 12);体面劳动和经济增长(可持续发展目标8);通过弹性战略实现产业、创新和基础设施(可持续发展目标9)。原创性/价值本研究是在现实环境中调查COVID-19流行期间LM实施障碍的少数初步努力之一。
