Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of lean agile competencies and hybrid lean agile in mediating the relationships between lean manufacturing, agile manufacturing and operational performance. The partial least squares method was used in the form of variance-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings showed that hybrid lean agile had a weak effect ( f 2 ≤ 0.15 ; p 0.05 ) as a significant mediator. Hybrid lean agile implementation model should integrate lean agile competencies as a mediator for lean agile competencies activities.
