“…Many researchers ( Klassen and Vachon, 2003 ; Hollos et al, 2012 ) have tried to determine the relationship between the supply chain to reduce the emitted pollution to the environment. The manufacturing process improved environmental performance and productivity for small and medium-sized enterprises to attain such a proper sustainable performance ( Choudhary et al, 2019 ).…”

The development of economic activities and social progress index leads to the governmental considerations for the environmental challenge's issues. The Green Credit Policy (GCP) in China for manufacturing, as a part of a sustainable finance package, initiatives restrictions with suppliers to reduce harmful pollution for the environment. The study mainly validates the impact of GCP on manufacturing for diminishing the emerged pollution to the environment. The study develops Neutrosophic Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Framework (N-MCDMF) according to neutrosophic theory and various MCDM methods of grey relational analysis (GRA), analytic network process (ANP), the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory technique (DEMATEL), and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to support the decision-makers with highly systematic procedures in the uncertain and inconsistent environmental conditions. The N-MCDMF evaluates the conditions of GCP and recommends the optimal Supply Chain Management (SCM) in manufacturing alternatives. A case study is presented for the validation of the issues of applicability and flexibility for the proposed N-MCDMF. The results obtained from the implementation of the N-MCDMF indicates the applicability and flexibility of the proposed approach. In addition, results show that SCM in manufacturing can provide more cooperation for the environment to reduce harmful pollution and to attain sustainability for achieving motivations under the restrictions of GCP.

“…Moreover, practitioners often argue that green practices can be a burden for reaching improvements regarding design and production processes [20,21]. In this conflicting context, researchers and practitioners agree that neither lean nor green practices have demonstrated to be able to keep the expected balance among economic, environmental and social aspects when implemented individually [13,[22][23][24]. Then, in order to fulfil the current sustainability requirements, the combination of lean and green practices so that their strengths can be enhanced, and their weaknesses can be mitigated, have been proposed.…”

Lean-Green Manufacturing Practices and Their Link with Sustainability: A Critical Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The current rapidly changing and highly competitive market has put companies under a great pressure towards adopting sustainable practices, in terms of keeping a healthy balance among economic, environmental and social performances. In this context, the lean-green manufacturing approach, which combines lean practices focused on customers’ demand, and green practices focused on reducing the business’ environmental impact, has gained popularity. Nevertheless, the lean-green manufacturing is still a relatively new practice, lacking a clear and structured research definition, and of significant evidence of successful cases in the practice. In this paper, a literature review is conducted to identify the actual possibility of combining lean and green practices, the current trends for implementing such combination and the potential sustainability improvements such implementation can lead. It is the authors’ intention that the findings analysed in this paper can contribute to the state-of-the-art of lean-green manufacturing and provide practitioners with a useful tool towards developing effective strategies for its deployment.

“…As an example of this, a positive relation between lean management and sustainable manufacturing systems has been discovered. The adoption of the Lean Management concept supports sustainability practices [6,7]. Moving forward, the authors notice links between more effective business processes resulting from Operational Excellence and the economic, environmental, and social objectives of Sustainable Development.…”

The following paper was developed with a view to identifying the relationship between Sustainable Development and Operational Excellence concepts and to assess the state-of-the-art in Operational Excellence within Sustainable Development concept. Highly unstable business environments and opportunities occurring in the market require a specific approach and knowledge to achieve success. It is the authors’ view that improvements in the delivery of sustainable results through social, environmental, and economic responsibility is possible thanks to modern management concepts, strategies, and tools. These activities and approaches, when properly incorporated, significantly support the functioning of businesses in a responsible and profitable way. This paper outlines a systematic literature review of the subject described above. The literature review has been conducted with the use of two databases: Web of Science and Scopus. The results of the analysis show that there is a visible connection between Operational Excellence and Sustainable Development concepts. On the basis of the review, one can notice a strong relationship between Operational Excellence and management concepts, e.g., Lean Management. Nevertheless, the input of the selected articles based on abstract analysis compared to the whole compilation concerning Sustainable Development shows that there is a gap. The authors believe that this topic is interesting and worth further analysis.
