This article aims to evaluate the use of lean manufacturing practices, according to SAE J4000, in a supply chain of the pharmaceutical industry. The data were collected in four companies: a manufacturer, a distributor and two suppliers. The results show companies are aligned in only one of the six elements of the standard.

We use the Wiener-Hopf equations and the Yosida approximation notions to prove the existence theorem of a system of nonlinear mixed implicit equilibrium problems SMIE in Hilbert spaces. The algorithm for finding a solution of the problem SMIE is suggested; the convergence criteria and stability of the iterative algorithm are discussed. The results presented in this paper are more general and ar...
