Lean production has become a focal point in operations management research (OM) in the last decades (Slack et al., 2004; Pilkington and Fitzgerald, 2006). The academic interest reflects that organizations have recognized its potential. Many firms implement lean production to enhance competitiveness, but the majority of them reports disappointed results (Anand et al., 2009; LEI 2004). One of the challenges companies face is to create the supporting infrastructure, using this term in a broad sense (Koenigsaecker, 2005; Womack and Jones, 2003). A major concern is to build social subsystem or work organization that fits lean production.
