Differences in Kaizen Implementation between Countries and Industry Types in Multinational Supply Chain
Апстракт
Previous research shows that Kaizen's benefits are multiple and evident,
but its practices in the supply chain have been sufficiently examined now.
Conversely, we are witnessing numerous issues in contemporary global
supply networks. In this survey, after conducting a literature review, three
research questions regarding Kaizen modes of usage were formulated and
tested on the sample of 195 enterprises that are part of the global supply
chain, located in 31 countries, and active in two different types of
industries – aircraft, and transportation. A combined approach containing
descriptive statistics, reliability, factor analysis, and statistical hypothesis
testing by Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U tests
were used. Results show significant differences between Kaizen practices
applied in countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada, the USA,
Japan, and China, where national and corporate cultures differ. Kaizen
implementation significantly differs betw...een companies operating in the
aircraft and transportation sectors, which is unsurprising since aircraft
industry has a higher formalization level. The goal to determine the
differences in Kaizen practices around the globe was fulfilled since
statistically significant differences indicate the importance of the
contextual factors and connect adverse and Kaizen events.
