Abstract
Interest in managing Lean implementation using a socio-technical system (STS) approach is growing in operations management. However, current research has been disorganised and fragmented, focusing on isolated social or technical domains, thus neglecting a system-wide understanding of socio-technical interactions associated with Lean implementation. To establish a future research agenda, this paper provides a systematic literature review on the crossroads of social and technical domains associated with Lean implementation. A descriptive and bibliometric analysis of 54 articles was conducted to identify research trends, while content analysis was employed to identify social and technical variables, theories, and research design used in empirical studies. The findings articulate an evidence-based roadmap for scholars studying socio-technical interactions of Lean implementation. The results suggest five research paths: advancing research context and design, investigating antecedents, integrating multiple theories, examining the interplays among social and technical variables and their outcomes, and incorporating subjective and objective data collection methods.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
