Importance of first-line employees in lean implementation in SMEs : a systematic literature reviewKnapić, Viktorija ; Rusjan, Borut, 1965- ; Božič, KaterinaPurpose - Existing research evidence shows a fragmented understanding of the roles of first-line employees (FLEs) as essential factors for successful lean implementation in small- and medium-sized ... enterprises (SMEs), provoking recent calls for additional research on the identification of enablers and barriers for lean acceptance among workers. Therefore, this paper aims to identify related enablers and barriers to lean implementation among FLEs and determine future research avenues for improving the understanding of lean methodology implementation in SMEs. Design/methodology/approach - Relying on a systematic literature review methodology, the authors aimed to synthesize and evaluate available peer-reviewed papers on the role of FLEs in lean implementation in SMEs. General descriptive and thematic analysis comprehensively depicted the selected research topic and identified the main themes within collected papers and potential future research questions. Findings - The authors identified four main themes related to FLEs’ role in lean implementation: cultural change factors, employee characteristics, management involvement and lean job design. Within each theme, the authors present a comprehensive overview of FLE-related factors and associated enablers and barriers that should be considered for a successful lean implementation in SMEs. Practical implications - The research outcomes are important to practicing managers in SMEs, helping them facilitate lean acceptance and enhance the likelihood of successful lean implementation. Originality/value - The insights from this study present building blocks in developing a lean implementation model for SMEs that considers the FLEs’ role more comprehensively.Source: International journal of lean six sigma. - ISSN 2040-4166 (Vol. 14, iss. 2, 2023, str. 277-308)Type of material - article, component partPublish date - 2023Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 112112899
