Approach of the Two-way Influence Between Lean and Green Manufacturing and its Connection to Related Organisational Areas

Abstract

Initiatives toward Lean and Green Manufacturing are given mainly due to organisational response to current market's economic and environmental pressures. This paper, therefore, aims to present a brief discussion based on a literature review of the potential two-way influence between Lean and Green Manufacturing and its role on the main organisational areas with a closer relationship to such approaches, which were observed to be more extensively discussed in the literature. Naturally lean practises seem more likely to deploy into green outcomes, though the other way around can also occur. There is some blur on the factual integration of both themes, as some authors suggest. Notwhithstanding, they certainly present certain synergy. Thereupon, further research is needed to unveil the real ties, overlaps and gaps between these approaches.

The influence of lean management and environmental practices on relative competitive quality advantage and performance

“…Moreover, the study's findings unveil overlaps between LM and EPs by establishing relative potency of EPs and LP in creating RCQA and improving EP. This serves as a response to the request of extant literature (Salvador et al , 2017) to investigate gaps, real bonds and overlaps between LM and EPs. In addition, the results of this study explain the natural resource-based view theory by unveiling the capabilities of EPs and LM in creating RCQA and improving EP and BP.…”

“…Klassen and McLaughlin (1996) claim that LM and EPs have conflicting objectives. Despite the existence of myriad literature on the synergy between LM and EP, Salvador et al (2017) demand further investigation into gaps, real bonds and overlaps between them. This has ignited a need to explore the extent to which these strategies help in achieving environmental and economic goals in our current globalized and competitive market.…”

Trade-off among lean, agile, resilient and green paradigms: an empirical study on pharmaceutical industry in Jordan using a TOPSIS-entropy method

“…For decades, the link between different patterns of supply chain strategies has been of interest to researchers (e.g., Salvador et al, 2017;Machado, 2017a, 2017b;Alhyari, 2015). Thus, SCM is challenged with the increasing number of management paradigms to supply benefit to SC members and to react appropriately to the market requirements and changes (Azfar, 2012;Machado and Duarte, 2010).…”

“…There are a number of prior studies on SCM paradigms (Salvador et al, 2017;Machado, 2017a, 2017b;Alhyari, 2015;Cabral et al, 2012;Cruz-Machado, 2011, 2009). These studies provide comparisons between the lean, agile, green and resilience paradigms in order to clearly address the conflicts among those paradigms.…”

Integrasi Lean dan Green Manufacturing Untuk Mengurangi Pemborosan Proses Rekrutmen Karyawan Pada Industri Manufaktur di Indonesia

“…Penelitian terdahulu juga mengamati bahwa adopsi dan penggunaan bersama LM dan GM dapat menghasilkan manfaat dan pengaruh pada berbagai bidang dalam suatu organisasi, pengaruh tersebut dapat terjadi secara simultan atau berurutan (Salvador et al, 2017). LM dapat secara signifikan mengurangi pemborosan tetapi tidak menghilangkan pemborosan, dan manfaat yang diperoleh tidak selalu memenuhi harapan (Ghobadian et al, 2020;Yadav et al, 2020).…”
