Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to examine the impact of lean manufacturing (LM) on the financial performance of companies affected by emergency situations. It additionally explores the role of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) in complementing LM to enhance financial performance in emergency and non-emergency situations.Design/methodology/approachBoth survey and archival data were collected from 219 manufacturing companies in China. With longitudinal data collected before and after an emergency situation (i.e. Typhoon Rumbia), regression analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of LM and AMTs on financial performance in different contexts.FindingsOur results reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between LM and financial performance in the context of emergency. We also found that AMTs exerted a positive moderation effect on the inverted U-shaped relationship, indicating high levels of AMTs that mitigated the inefficiency of LM in coping with supply chain emergencies.Research limitations/implicationsThrough simultaneous investigation of LM and AMTs as bundles of practices and their fit with different contexts, this study takes a systems approach to fit that advances the application of contingency theory in the Operations Management literature to more complex patterns of fit.Originality/valueThis study illuminates how AMTs support LM practices in facilitating organizational performance in different contexts. Specifically, this study unravels the interaction mechanisms between AMTs and LM in influencing financial performance in emergency and non-emergency situations.

用精益和先进的制造技术管理紧急情况——对罗马尼亚台风灾害的实证研究

本研究旨在探讨精益制造对受紧急情况影响的公司财务绩效的影响。它还探讨了先进制造技术(amt)在补充LM以提高紧急和非紧急情况下的财务绩效方面的作用。设计/方法/方法调查和档案数据均来自中国的219家制造企业。利用在紧急情况(即台风Rumbia)发生前后收集的纵向数据，进行回归分析，探讨LM和amt在不同背景下对财务绩效的影响。研究结果显示，在紧急情况下，LM与财务绩效之间呈倒u型关系。我们还发现，amt对倒u型关系具有正向调节作用，表明高水平的amt缓解了LM应对供应链突发事件的效率低下。研究局限/启示通过同时调查LM和amt作为实践束及其与不同背景的契合度，本研究采用系统方法进行契合，将运营管理文献中的权变理论应用于更复杂的契合模式。原创性/价值本研究阐明了在不同的背景下，amt如何支持LM实践以促进组织绩效。具体而言，本研究揭示了紧急和非紧急情况下amt和LM影响财务绩效的相互作用机制。

期刊介绍： The mission of the International Journal of Operations & Production Management (IJOPM) is to publish cutting-edge, innovative research with the potential to significantly advance the field of Operations and Supply Chain Management, both in theory and practice. Drawing on experiences from manufacturing and service sectors, in both private and public contexts, the journal has earned widespread respect in this complex and increasingly vital area of business management. Methodologically, IJOPM encompasses a broad spectrum of empirically-based inquiry using suitable research frameworks, as long as they offer generic insights of substantial value to operations and supply chain management. While the journal does not categorically exclude specific empirical methodologies, it does not accept purely mathematical modeling pieces. Regardless of the chosen mode of inquiry or methods employed, the key criteria are appropriateness of methodology, clarity in the study's execution, and rigor in the application of methods. It's important to note that any contribution should explicitly contribute to theory. The journal actively encourages the use of mixed methods where appropriate and valuable for generating research insights.
