A mathematical model for the evaluation of roles and responsibilities of Human Resources in a Lean Manufacturing environment
by G. Anand, Rambabu Kodali
International Journal of Human Resources Development and Management (IJHRDM), Vol. 10, No. 1, 2010

Abstract: A review of literature relating Human Resources (HR) and Lean Manufacturing (LM) revealed that none of the papers have provided a clear-cut description regarding the roles and responsibilities of the internal and external stakeholders of an organisation while implementing LM. Apart from this, no papers have described a methodology to quantify the roles and responsibilities of HR. Hence, this paper attempts to fill in these gaps by establishing the taxonomy for LM elements by proposing a conceptual framework from the perspective of HR. Finally, a mathematical model based on the Graph Theory (GT) is developed to quantify their roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders of HR in a LM environment.
