The implementation of lean tools toward operational performance in aerospace company
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between lean tool implementation and operational performance, mediated by organizational culture in Aerospace Company. The aerospace company's 346 targeted respondents, who ranged in level from executive to non-executive and were knowledgeable about lean activities and operational performance, were surveyed using a questionnaire built on a Likert-scale rating system. SmartPLS 3.0 software was to test all the hypotheses. The findings indicated that lean tool implementation had a positive relationship with operational performance and organizational culture. However, organizational culture did not show any relationship with lean tools and operational performance. By offering information that will increase the success rate of lean tool implementation and make an aerospace firm more competitive, this study may benefit companies which are currently applying lean tools.
