Abstract

Paving the ground to achieve the study’s third objective, the key gap identified in Chap. 2 is addressed through an extensive analysis of LM literature, resulting in the creation of a first version of an entirely new lean value driver model and the initial identification of specific indicators to measure the value creation process, providing a foundation for the primary empirical research.

  4. 4.

    Wendelin Wiedeking was CEO of Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG from 1993 until 2009 and is credited for the turnaround and subsequent success of Porsche AG, which was achieved by introducing lean management (Womack and Jones 2004).

  5. 5.

    Lean maturity was included as a single metric, although the Lean Advancement Initiative (2012) provides a set of 68 criteria to evaluate the maturity level of a lean company. However, these criteria are checklist items rather than measures, and so can be aggregated into a single metric.
