Lean manufacturing (LM) improves financial performance (FP) significantly. However, due to the LM is implemented in the shop floor, it may affect certain properties of the shop floor performance, such as quality, flexibility, & inventory; which indicate non-financial performance (NFP). The effect of LM on FP tends to be indirect, in which LM will first affect NFP, & subsequently, NFP will improve FP. What's more, the effect of LM on NFP might be interfered by types of production process.

Based the above explanation, which of the following is true?

Select one:

a. There is a direct relationship between LM and FP.

b. Types of production process alter the impact of LM on FP

c. NFP plays a mediating role on the relationship between LM and FP.

d. NFP improves the implementation of LM

e. The impact of LM on FP is moderated by NFP.
