Description In this paper, we examine the relationship among lean manufacturing management,competitive skills, and business performance from the perspective of managers of companies doingbusiness in Brazil. We conduct a survey of 68 Brazilian companies that use lean manufacturing andanalyze data using structural equation modeling based on partial least squares method. Results show,considering competitive skills as mediating variable, a positive relationship between lean manufacturingand business performance. Results also suggest that managers lack awareness about the importance ofthe competitive skills to enhance business performance.DOI: 10.12660/joscmv6n1p91-105URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.12660/joscmv6n1p91-105
