The Impact

Purpose of the study: Lean manufacturing is perceived to be a significant competitive advantage of firms as it removes waste from manufacturing operations with innovations in products and processes. This research aims to know the impact of lean manufacturing practices of textile firms on their operational efficiency. Methodology: For this study, questionnaires were electronically sent to operation/ production managers of 122 textile firms using lean manufacturing technologies in Pakistan. Based on the literature review, nine lean manufacturing practices and five operational performance measures were included in the questionnaire survey. Just 91 operation managers replied, a response rate of 74%. Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the hypotheses of the study. Main findings: The results of regression analysis show that lean manufacturing practices significantly impact the operational performance of textile firms. The study's findings suggest that the involvement of customers, suppliers, and employees causes an increase in the operating performance of firms. Moreover, it is established that some lean manufacturing practices such as 5S, automation (Jidoka), Justin time (JIT), equipment layout, and continuous improvement (Kaizen) have a significant and positive effect on the operational performance of firms. Application of the study: The lean manufacturing practices save money for businesses and increases overall productivity by reducing waste. These are also helpful in increasing consumer loyalty and employee productivity. The study's results show that lean production methods can be adopted to improve operating performance and competitiveness. Originality/ Novelty: This study adds a piece of first-hand evidence by establishing a significant effect of lean manufacturing practices of firms on their operational performance in Pakistan, where most of the firms so far are using traditional techniques due to lack of financial resources.

Global tropical deforestation continues to be a critical environmental issue and nowhere in the world is the issue more pronounced than in Brazil. This paper examines the land-use choices of small-scale farmers in Ouro Preto do Oeste, Rondônia, Brazil and investigates how agricultural production impacts deforestation levels. The data used to explore these issues consist of a panel collected from 152 households in 1996 and 2000. Overall, the empirical models indicate that access to credit, wealth, lot size, product markets, and off-farm labor opportunities, largely influence deforestation and production decisions. Among other things, the results suggest that more sustainable production methods are unlikely to be adopted by a majority of households under current conditions because the production of milk has rapidly advanced due to its moderate labor requirements and existing market infrastructure. Households with greater levels of wealth have focused on milk while those with access to credit have focused on crops. Since the production of crops is largely influenced by access to credit, similar incentives may be proposed to support more sustainable production activities to help reduce deforestation.

Economische sectoren als landbouw, transport en industrie staan voor de opgave om te verduurzamen. Deze opgave zorgt voor andere banen en stelt andere eisen aan mensen die werkzaam zijn in deze sectoren. In dit artikel verkennen we de vraagstukken rond werk, vakmanschap en oudere werknemers die ontstaan vanwege deze transitie, en de rol die HR hierin speelt. Om hier inzicht in te krijgen, deden we een jaar lang onderzoek bij een groot industrieel bedrijf, waar we spraken met vakmensen, HR-medewerkers en leidinggevenden over de gevolgen voor het werk van de transitie van grijze naar groene productiemethoden. In deze casus bleek dat de schoksgewijs verlopende transitie het vakmanschap van (oudere) werknemers onder druk zet. De onzekerheid die de transitie voor de komende jaren met zich meebrengt leidt op organisatieniveau tot spanningsvelden. HR zou de eigen rol kunnen invullen door de concretisering van de duurzame productie in de toekomst samen met de werknemers en de leidinggevenden proactief vorm te geven.Economic sectors like agriculture, transport and industry face the challenge to become more sustainable. This challenge impacts the jobs available and changes the skills which people need to work in those sectors. In this article, we explore questions concerning work, craftmanship and older employees which arise because of this transition as well as the potential role of HR in addressing these questions. In order to gain insight in these questions, we conducted research for over a year in a large industrial company, during which we spoke with craftsmen, HR professionals and managers. We spoke with them about the consequences of the transition to more sustainable production methods, now and in the near future. In this case, it became clear that the transition puts pressure on the craftmanship of employees, especially the older employees. The insecurity that emerged as a result of the transition also leads to various tensions on the organizational level. HR could play an important role by proactively shaping the concretization of the envisioned sustainable future of the company together with the craftsmen and the managers.

There is an emerging environmental awareness and social concern regarding the environmental impact of the textile industry, highlighting the growing need for developing green and sustainable approaches throughout this industry’s supply chain. Upstream, due to population growth and the rise in consumption of textile fibers, new sustainable raw materials and processes must be found. Cellulose presents unique structural features, being the most important and available renewable resource for textiles. The physical and chemical modification reactions yielding fibers are of high commercial importance today. Recently developed technologies allow the production of filaments with the strongest tensile performance without dissolution or any other harmful and complex chemical processes. Fibers without solvents are thus on the verge of commercialization. In this review, the technologies for the production of cellulose-based textiles, their surface modification and the recent trends on sustainable cellulose sources, such as bacterial nanocellulose, are discussed. The life cycle assessment of several cellulose fiber production methods is also discussed.

Textile Factory

A survey of insurance records covering eighteenth-century manufactories in three branches of the British textile industry reveals much about the gradual evolution of factory production in the early stages of the Industrial Revolution. Professor Chapman suggests that neither size, power source, nor the supervision of work constitutes a useful criterion by which to identify the modern, Arkwright-type factory. The essential characteristic of that institution was that it was specifically designed for flow production, rather than the batch production methods of earlier modes of manufacturing.
