Abstract Simulation modelling has been utilised as a decision-support tool for different production systems. However, simulation uptake in construction is lagging due to several challenges such as the extensive data requirements and modelling efforts in a simulation study. This paper aims at addressing this gap by introducing a framework that integrates the practices of simulation modelling with the Last Planner® System (LPS), which is a well-established production planning and control method. The framework focuses on exploiting the outputs of implementing the LPS to support building a valid simulation model. A case study is conducted to test the applicability of the proposed framework. Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded that the LPS provides a promising avenue for integration with simulation modelling due to the shared processes and requirements between both methods, which may lead to minimised data requirements and modelling efforts for simulation, thus improving simulation uptake in the construction industry.

Abstract In today’s business world, financial constraints are one of the most important reasons for supply chain failures. In such an environment, supply and demand mismatch, lack of cash flow, and inventory shortage lead to poor financial performance. This study proposes a framework to develop a system dynamics model of multi-echelon supply chains called the ‘SSB model’, with financial attributes and ordering policies to explore how payment delays affect financial performance. The SSB model was tested in grocery distribution in Morocco using system dynamics. From this study, the authors have identified how payment delays affect supply chain surplus, cash in hand, and supply chain coordination. Moreover, the study addresses how payment delays influence the financial performance of the entire supply chain. Practitioners and researchers can refer to this study to make better decisions in supply chain transactions.

Abstract This study examines the moderating effect of perceived environmental uncertainty (PEU) and task uncertainty on relationships between performance management system (PMS) practices and organizational performance in Vietnam. We examine the five PMS practices codified by Ferreira and Otley's paper in 2009,adopting non-financial performance measures (NFPMs), decentralizing decision-making, lower-level manager participation in setting organizational performance targets, interactive use of NFPMs, and objectivity in performance evaluation and rewards. Employing partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to analyze survey data obtained from managers of companies listed on the Vietnamese Stock Exchange, we find three PMS practices—adopting non-financial performance measures (NFPMs), decentralizing decision-making, lower-level manager participation in setting organizational performance targets—are positively associated with organizational performance. However, these positive associations are considerably malleable in the face of PEU and task uncertainty. Our finding suggests that only lower-level manager participation in setting organizational performance targets positively impacts organizational performance under PEU, whilst only decentralizing decision-making has a significant and positive effect on organizational performance under task uncertainty. The study contributes to a growing body of knowledge on the effectiveness of PMS practices for organizational performance, particularly in times of uncertainty.

Abstract Lean manufacturing and agile manufacturing have been two prominent manufacturing paradigms over the past decades, with the respective aims of reducing waste to achieve low-cost and being flexible in production processes. Industry 4.0 is transforming traditional manufacturing systems into smart ones. The current competitive market requires manufacturing companies to improve both cost-efficiency and flexibility with the application of Industry 4.0 technologies. This study is the first systematic literature review linking Industry 4.0 with both lean and agile manufacturing. A conceptual framework is proposed concerning their relationships. It shows Industry 4.0 supports both manufacturing systems, and they, in turn, facilitate the implementation of Industry 4.0. The integration of Industry 4.0 with lean manufacturing mainly enhances cost-competitiveness in the performance dimension; with agile manufacturing, it mainly enhances flexibility. The finding implies Industry 4.0 is the enabling technology that allows two manufacturing systems to co-exist while overcoming the trade-off among various competitive objectives.

Abstract Industry 4.0 represents a new industrial paradigm ignited by disruptive technologies that can transform manufacturing into a cyber-physical system that integrates products, people and processes. However, there is little guidance concerning how to implement and integrate Industry 4.0 technologies by existing lean manufacturing (LM) systems. We select autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and internet of things (IoT) to develop an action plan that helps managers integrate Industry 4.0 technologies into their manufacturing systems and achieve lean automation. We conducted a case study of a large manufacturing company that introduced AGVs and IoT to automate its lean operations. We used socio-technical systems (STSs) design logic to integrate the two distinct domains (lean and automation) into an action plan that successfully meets six lean automation objectives. The findings demonstrate that AGVs implementation should include three phases: design, integration and continuous improvement. The lean automation objectives are: cost, reusability, reliability, simplicity, compactness, fit, engage and culture. The lean automation plan successfully manages the interactions and interplay between social factors (people and culture), technical factors (infrastructure and technology) and operational factors (routines and processes). The lean automation plan has significant managerial implications helping companies integrate lean philosophy, which is people-centric, with Industry 4.0 technologies, which promote efficiency via automation.

Abstract Project design has to be coordinated in an inter-functional team. This is critically challenging due to the knowledge-intensive nature of project design, the occupational boundaries between functions and time pressure facing project teams. This study aims to tackle this challenge by identifying the configurations of coordination mechanisms, i.e. mechanistic and organic coordination, adopted by inter-functional teams in the face of a high level of time pressure. A questionnaire-survey of 311 respondents from 46 building design projects was undertaken in China. Data were analyzed through a configurational analysis approach. The results show that two configurations could equally lead to high performance. Under a high level of time pressure, the configuration of formal coordination, digitally-mediated structured coordination, and cross-functional meetings is helpful to achieve high project design performance. If mechanistic coordination is absent, team members could equally accomplish superb design performance through organic coordination. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by presenting how inter-functional teams configure coordination mechanisms to deal with knowledge-intensive project design in the face of time pressure.

Abstract Thousands of companies worldwide lose their ISO 9001 certification every year. Considering the relevance that this decertification phenomenon has achieved, this study examines the internal motivations for decertification and explores the relationships between motivations and firm’s previous certification barriers and benefits. To achieve this purpose, the study develops a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) from the literature and estimates the model based on data collected from a sample of 248 certified organisations. Results reveal that the main antecedents of internal decertification motivations are external factors, namely external decertification motivations and external certification barriers. External barriers do not disappear after certification and have a stronger influence on motivations than (lack of) certification benefits. Internal and external benefits have a small effect on motivations, and internal barriers have no significant effect. In addition, the relationship between external barriers and internal decertification motivations is mediated by external motivations. Similarly, the relation between external benefits and internal motivations is mediated by internal benefits. Currently, there are no other studies on the relationship between internal and external decertification motivations, nor studies identifying the antecedents of both motivations. Thus, the research findings constitute novel contributions to the literature and suggest relevant implications for practice.

Abstract This paper recommends a stepwise method, named sustainable-setup-stream-mapping (3SM), to improve manufacturing setup time and its sustainability impacts. The method is developed based on an extensive literature review, in-depth explorative research in discrete manufacturing, and lean manufacturing tools: value stream mapping (VSM) and Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED). 3SM uses VSM in a novel way to break down setup operations, and employs SMED techniques to improve them. 3SM also recommends a list of criteria, for environmental, social, and economic pillars of sustainability, to assess the setup impacts against them within the setup workstation and in its relevant processes. This research implements 3SM in a real-life case, where the outcomes prove the practicality of 3SM and its improvements in setup times and sustainability criteria. It shows what/how sustainability criteria are influenced by setup activities/tasks at setup work station and factory-wide levels, and also expands the scope of SMED to sustainability improvement.
