Lean logistics optimizes costs, making it a critical supply chain management (SCM) strategy. Avoiding unnecessary costs has been one of the most essential objectives in SCM, making it a primary field of focus for practitioners and academics. After 1990, future researchers aimed to determine how SCM, which has gained importance as a multienterprise and multiactor management style, can handle lean logistics and identify gaps and opportunities in the literature. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of academic articles published on lean logistics in 1994–2022. RStudio-Biblioshiny software was used to perform a cocitation analysis of 559 lean logistics documents retrieved from the Web of Science database, using “lean logistics” as a keyword. This research reveals the most influential lean logistics research publications/citations and their research contributions. The analysis examined the primary research themes in the field, knowledge groups, keywords, country and author productivity, author and country collaboration, and cocitation network analysis between articles and sources. The broad perspective of lean logistics is briefly summarized for future researchers.

Yalın Lojistik Üzerine Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz: WOS Veri Tabanı (1994-2022)

Öz

Yalın lojistik, maliyetleri optimize etmesi nedeniyle kritik bir tedarik zinciri yönetimi (TZY) stratejisidir. Gereksiz maliyetlerden kaçınmak, TZY’nde her zaman önemli hedeflerden biri olmuştur. Bu nedenle alanda hem uygulayıcılar hem de akademisyenler sıklıkla çalışma ve araştırma yapmaktadır. 1990 sonrası çok işletmeli ve çok aktörlü bir yönetim tarzı olarak önem kaydeden TZY’nde yalın lojistik kavramının nasıl ele alındığının belirlenmesi, literatürdeki boşlukların ve fırsatların tespit edilmesi geleceğin araştırmacıları için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, 1994-2022 dönemi için yalın lojistik üzerine yayınlanmış akademik makalelerin kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analizi sunulmaktadır. R Studio-Biblioshiny yazılımı, Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanından “yalın lojistik” anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak ulaşılan 559 yalın lojistik dokümanın ortak atıf analizini gerçekleştirmek için kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırma, en etkili yalın lojistik araştırma yayınlarını/alıntılarını ve bunların araştırma katkılarını ortaya koymaktadır. Analiz sonucunda, alandaki ana araştırma temaları, bilgi grupları, anahtar kelimeler, ülke ve yazar üretkenliği, yazar ve ülkeler iş birliği, makaleler ve kaynaklar arasındaki ortak atıf ağı analizi elde edilmiştir. Yalın lojistikteki büyük resim, gelecekteki araştırmacılar için kısaca özetlenmiştir.
