- Abstract
Lean Manufacturing is a set of tools focused on improving production processes by reducing waste to provide good customer service through quality. This paper presents a structural equation model that relates three Lean Manufacturing tools (Andon, Visual Management and Just-in-time). This model proposes three hypotheses validated using information from 240 maquiladora companies in northern Mexico obtained through a questionnaire. This article aims to quantify the effect of Visual Management and Andon tools on Just-in-time within maquiladora companies. WarpPls 7.0® software that integrates the partial least squares (PLS) technique was used to validate the model's hypotheses. The results indicate a direct relationship between Visual Management on Andon with a size of ß=0.525, and Visual Management positively affects Just-in-time with a size of ß=0.256 and, finally, Andon also has an effect on the Just-in-time philosophy with ß=0.373. The sensitivity analysis showed that it is essential for managers to execute the implementation activities of Visual Management and Andon to ensure the proper functioning of Just-in-time.
