Abstract

The success of Toyota as well as other enterprises of Japan has proved that lean production can improve manufacturing enterprises’ competitiveness greatly. However, lean production’s application in other countries is not ideal. One of the reasons is that lean production is treated as a tool set not as system engineering, so under such background, this paper studies the influence mechanism of lean production to manufacturing enterprises’ competitiveness upgrading from systematic perspective. In this paper, lean production is not merely confined to improvement tools, but is treated as a system, including improvement tools, lean culture and staff factor. The direct and indirect effect of the three aspects to manufacturing enterprises’ competitiveness is analyzed by SEM using SMOS17.0. Analysis result demonstrates the influence mechanism of LP to competitiveness clearly. The study of this paper has practical sense to lean implementation in China and meanwhile it enriches lean production theory.
