Abstract
The current research seeks to present a perception of the role of high performance work systems in achieving the relationship between the reconfigurable manufacturing system and the philosophy of lean manufacturing, and on this basis a hypothetical scheme was built that reflects the nature of the relationship between the research variables, The independent variable is represented by the reconfigurable manufacturing system, The dependent variable is represented by the Lean Manufacturing philosophy, while the interactive variable is represented by the high performance work systems, The research included a theoretical framework for its variables in light of a group of Arab and foreign sources related to its subject, The research also adopted a field framework to measure the nature of the relationship and the impact between the research variables, based on a questionnaire prepared for this purpose, The researchers chose the General Company for the Automotive Industry and Equipment / Babylon Battery Factory as a field for the current research, As for the research sample, it was represented by a sample of them that included (220) individuals from its administrative leadership and specialized technicians holding a bachelor’s degree, In light of the answers provided by the respondents, which were analyzed using the statistical software (SPSS V23), (AMOS 24), it was confirmed that there are direct and indirect correlations and effects between the research variable, On the basis of this, the research reached a set of conclusions indicating the presence of direct and indirect effects of the reconfigurable manufacturing system and high performance work systems in the Lean Manufacturing philosophy, A set of proposals was presented indicating the need for the manufacturing system in the factory
