The significance of employee behaviours and soft management practices to avoid digital waste during a digital transformation

Jamila Alieva et al.

Summary: This study investigates the perceived effects of soft management practices, employee behaviors, and the implementation of digital technologies in manufacturing plants, as well as their relation to the emergence of digital waste. The findings suggest that digital transformation positively influences several variables, such as management leadership and employee education, but also negatively affects others, including turnover intention and proactivity. The study also highlights the influence of soft management practices and employee behaviors on the digital transformation process itself, and identifies potential digital waste creation in certain areas, such as reward and recognition and training employees.

A fuzzy-based leanness evaluation model for manufacturing organisations

M. A. Amin et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an effective leanness measurement model using the triangular linguistic fuzzy membership function and demonstrates its effectiveness through a case study. The organization's leanness value improved from 0.12 to 0.19 after implementing lean tools, with the optimum leanness value calculated to be 0.64. These quantitative leanness values provide an indication of the impacts of improvement initiatives on the overall leanness level, which was highly beneficial according to the case organization.
