Abstract

Industry uses lean tools for improving the production processes and avoids mistakes. This paper presents a structural equation model that integrates three lean manufacturing tools used as supporting: Visual Management, Poka-Yoke, and Andon as independent variables and Economic Sustainability as a dependent variable. The main goal is to measure the direct effect of supporting tools on Economic Sustainability. Variables are related using six hypotheses, and the model is validated with information from 238 responses to a survey applied to the Mexican maquiladora industry, where Visual Management, Poka-Yoke, and Andon are widely used. The partial least squares technique is used to find the relationship among variables analyzed. Findings indicate that all six hypotheses are statistically significant; for example, Visual Management directly and positively affects Andon, Poka-Yoke, and Economic sustainability. Also, Andon has a direct effect on Poka-Yoke and Economic Sustainability, and finally, Poka-Yoke has a direct effect on Economic Sustainability
