The Impact of Lean Management on Sustainable Supply Chain Performance—A Role Analysis of Big Data Analysis Capability and Supply Chain Integration
The blind pursuit of profits has brought environmental pollution and social responsibility issues to the supply chain.A novel way to solve these problems is to find out how to construct an effective and feasible sustainable supply chain.Based on the triple bottom line(TBL),we comprehensively evaluate the performance of sustainable supply chain from economic,environmental and social aspects.Furthermore,we introduce supply chain integration as a mediating variable and big data analytics capability as a moderating variable to investigate their mediating and moderating role in the relationship between lean management and supply chain performance.Finally,we select samples from Chinese manufacturing enterprises for empirical analysis.The empirical results indicate that lean management has a positive impact on sustainable supply chain performance;the impact of lean management on supply chain performance is partially media-ted by supply chain integration;likewise,big data analysis capability has a moderating effect:it positively moderates the relationship be-tween lean management and sustainable supply chain performance,and it also positively moderates the mediating process of supply chain integration between lean management and sustainable supply chain performance.Our research provides a theoretical and practical refer-ence for enterprises to build a sustainable supply chain and sustainable operating.
