Findings: In general, operational level employees presented difficulties to understand the concepts of all analyzed tools. Comparatively, Lean Leadership and Constraints Management were those most difficult for them. Originality/value: The results present here can be used by leaders for providing lean training and for academics in futures studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
