In this paper we investigate the possible relationships among some optimization techniques used \udin Operations Management and the performance of SMEs that operate in the manufacturing sector. A model based on the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach is \udused to analyse a dataset of small and medium-sized \udItalian enterprises. The model is expressed by a system of \udsimultaneous equations and is solved through regression analysis. Taking advantage of the contributions presented previously, we focus our research on the Italian economy, \udhighlighting the importance of Operations Management practices, which are relevant drivers of these firms’ performances
