RESUMO: Lean manufacturing evolved from the Toyota Motor Corporation as a means to improve productivity by reducing waste. Nowadays, lean manufacturing is disseminated throughout the world, amongst different industries and segments. The expansion of the lean philosophy created new approaches to its application and study, and one of them is the linkage with employee social sustainability at the shopfloor. Indeed, it has been found that lean practices are potentially supportive to meet social performance, besides environmental and economic performances. The main objective of this research was to identify and understand employee social sustainability (ESS) dimensions that are associated to lean production in the manufacturing sector, and link these dimensions to lean practices (LPs) in a conceptual fashion. These two groups of variables were explored to determine their priorities as a way to comprehend their influence on the overall employee social sustainability management. For such purpose, an exploratory study was designed comprising a systematic literature review to investigate lean and ESS relations and to conceive an assessment framework, followed by a panel of experts for data collection. The method of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to calculate priorities of ESS dimensions and LPs. Four dimensions and eight lean practices were considered in this research. The collected results from a panel of national and international experts showed that the largest priority between ESS dimensions were employee Health and Safety (0.512), and employee Autonomy and Empowerment (0.254), Job Stress Reduction and Enhanced Workplace occupied a second-level priority, with a relative importance of 0.131 and 0.103, respectively. Following LPs, the most important practices that can potentially aid ESS management were 5S (0.255), Standardisation of work (0.196), and Total Productive Maintenance (0.160). General guidelines of the magnitude and direction of LPs’ influence on ESS dimensions were drawn from a sensitivity analysis performed by Expert Choice 2000 software. This research contributes by offering a conceptual outlook of the influence of lean practices on matters of social sustainability at the shopfloor, which is still a marginally explored field of Industrial Engineering.
