Abstract

abstract: This article presents a bibliometric analysis on the Lean System over the period ranging from 2006 to 2017, showing the evolution of the publications over the years, the number of publications per country, the main journals, the most prolific authors, the most used keywords, and eventually barriers for the implementation of the Lean System. The greatest growth of publication rate occurred from 2014 to 2015. The countries with the most contribution have been the United Kingdom, the United States, and Sweden. The publications have been concentrated primarily in twelve journals. The bibliometric map of keywords presented them grouped into six clusters. Several underlying factors like technical and managerial aspects, planning, and leadership can explain the main barriers for the implementation of the Lean System. According to the literature, the understanding of such barriers is the best way to reduce the implementation-time and reach profitability and competitiveness. Therefore, the main contribution of this work is to make the evolution and importance of publications in this area are better known, helping organizations in the knowledge of the Lean System implementation barriers present in the literature, and in reformulating the curricula of undergraduate and postgraduate in disciplines related to Lean System. Finally, a future scientometric analysis on the subject is suggested, covering the analysis of evolution of publications, scientific journal, and authors distributions, by means of bibliometric laws, like those by Price, Bradford and Lotka, respectively.

精益系统:从文献计量学研究中分析科学文献并确定实施的障碍

摘要:本文对2006年至2017年期间精益系统的文献计量分析，显示了多年来出版物的演变，每个国家的出版物数量，主要期刊，最多产的作者，最常用的关键词，以及精益系统实施的最终障碍。发文率增长最快的是2014 - 2015年。贡献最大的国家是英国、美国和瑞典。这些出版物主要集中在12个期刊上。关键词的文献计量图将关键词分为6类。几个潜在的因素，如技术和管理方面，计划和领导可以解释实施精益系统的主要障碍。根据文献，了解这些障碍是减少实施时间和达到盈利能力和竞争力的最佳途径。因此，这项工作的主要贡献是使该领域出版物的发展和重要性得到更好的了解，帮助组织了解文献中存在的精益系统实施障碍，并重新制定与精益系统相关学科的本科和研究生课程。最后，对未来的科学计量学分析提出了建议，包括利用文献计量学定律对出版物、科学期刊和作者分布的演变进行分析，如Price、Bradford和Lotka所提出的。

期刊介绍： Gestão & Produção is a journal published four times a year year (March, June, September and December) by the Departamento de Engenharia de Produção (DEP) of Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). The first issue of Gestão & Produção was published in April, 1994. Actually, G&P was result of experience of professors of DEP/UFSCar in editing, in the beginning, "Cadernos DEP" in the 1980s, followed by "Cadernos de Engenharia de Produção". The last three issues of "Cadernos de Engenharia de Produção" were a test previous to the launch of Gestão & Produção because most of the journal characteristics were already established, like regularity.
