“…Sustainability is required to meet benchmarking figures that contribute towards optimum usage and conservation of natural resources, according to Nehete et al [35]. In the lack of safety precautions, production performance is affected by integrated manufacturing systems without control [36]. Therefore, it should be covered in a defined interval of time as recommended by Khalil [37] and Ramesh et al [38].…”

Almost every industrial and service enterprise adopts some form of Environmental Health and Safety (HSE) practices. However, there is no unified measurement implementation framework to resist losses exacerbated due to the “lack of safety precautions”, which must be considered one of the most dangerous Lean wastes because it jeopardizes the investment in the Hex-Bottom-Line (HBLs). Despite the widespread nature of the Lean approach, there no unified and collected framework to track and measure the effectiveness of the safety measures’ progress. Therefore, the enterprises resort to establishing their own tailored safety framework that maintains their competitiveness and sustainability. The enterprises must provide insight into safety deficiencies (i.e., faults and losses suffered) that have been measured via downtime spans and costs (Lean waste), reflecting the poor Lean Safety Performance Level (LSPL). This paper aims to shed light on two issues: (1) the adverse impact of the “lack of safety precautions” on LSPL caused by the absence of (2) a Lean Safety framework included in the Measurement and Analysis phases of Define Measure Analyze Identify Control (DMAIC). This framework is based on forecasting losses and faults according to their consumption time. The proposed framework appreciates the losses’ severity (time consumption and costs) via Fault Mode and Effect Forecasting (FMEF) aided by Artificial Neural Networks through sequential steps known as Safety Function Deployment (SFD).

This paper examines whether companies’ sustainable supply chain efforts are related to the companies’ corporate governance and economic performance. Data from Bloomberg’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Financial Analysis (FA) databases were used to empirically test the relationships. The paper is an effort to contribute to the body of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) literature by being amongst the first in India to use the secondary data source for investigating financial and corporate governance (CG) benefits’ association with social and green supply chain management practices. After collecting data of Indian manufacturing companies listed in the Bloomberg’s ESG terminal, we first tested the relationship of the three ESG factors: environmental, social and governance with the companies economic returns (ER). In the next level, we extended the study to find whether firms’ CG initiatives mediate the relationship of green supply chain management (GSCM) and socially responsible supply chain management (SRSCM) practices with the firms’ ER. In the study, it was observed that CG activities mediate the relationship between SRSCM and ER whereas it has a negligible mediation effect on the association between GSCM and ER.
