“…This model aid the selection of suppliers with minimal transportation distance and thereby reducing carbon footprint in the supply chain. Optimisation principles were also used by Mashaei et al (2011) to reduce energy usage in a cyclic pallet system. For this purpose, the mean value of the energy usage of the pallet system was modelled which was then used as the objective function of the optimization model.…”

The shift towards sustainable manufacturing processes and products has influenced business organizations to improve their environmental performance and efficiency. 'Lean thinking' has evolved to 'lean and green thinking' as a targeted intervention for organizations to implement sustainable business models that reduce waste and improve material efficiency, and subsequently minimise costs. The lean and green concept however is still relatively new and it remains unclear for many as to how exactly lean thinking can contribute to the sustainability transformation of organizations. The objective of this research was to undertake a systematic literature review of how the implementation of lean and green initiatives could lead to sustainable business practice. This article includes an analysis of both conceptual and empirical research papers discussing various industrial contexts, and evaluation of: a) the impact of lean methods on environmental performance; and b) the variety of integrated lean and green models.The review highlights the ad hoc and limited use of lean thinking within corporate sustainability initiatives and the authors establish a 'lean and green matrix' that identifies opportunities to embed lean and green practices in five common work streams including waste, energy, emissions, water and chemical management. In addition to comparing different industries and their systems, this review provides a reference point for further investigation into lean and green practices. The findings contribute to the authors' research agenda that aims to develop a replicable system for holistically exploring strategies in corporate environmental management and prioritising the most appropriate lean methods. It is proposed that industrial practitioners could benefit from such a system, which could transform their organization's performance through well-integrated and aligned sustainable business practices.

“…Here, F(N p , v c ) determines the average tension force as a function of N p and v c , as well as the design constraints characterize (2) and the safety conditions. In [30], the authors have developed the mathematical models for the tension force and the design constraints without considering the safety conditions. In this section, these models are readdressed, and the novel constraints which characterize the safety conditions are introduced.…”

A proper control of a system to get a desired function and increase the system lifetime is a crucial step towards the sustainable paradigm. In this paper, such a control is designed for a cyclic pallet system to achieve a minimal force on its drive unit, meet safety conditions on the system chain tension force and the momentum of pallets, and fulfill the desired production rate. The optimal values of the control parameters, namely number of pallets and conveyor velocity, are obtained through solving a linear optimization model. The objective function in the model defines the average force on the drive unit in a cycle production. In addition, the related constraints characterize the pallet system properties such as cyclic and dynamic behavior, buffer size, constant work in process, and safety specifications. The robustness of the optimal control is analyzed, using a worst but safe control strategy. The optimal control and the robustness analysis are applied to some case studies, and the results are evaluated and discussed.

King et Lenox (2001), Vijayan et al (2006), Rothenberg et al (2001) e Mashaei et al (2011) confirmam o estudo de Florida (1996) ao afirmar que lean é green, ou seja, que a manufatura enxuta reduz significativamente os custos com a redução da poluição e que, se adotada em conjunto com outras práticas, como os sistemas de gestão da qualidade ISO 9001 e ISO 14001, gera um efeito significativo na redução da poluição e nos custos dessa redução (Miller et al , 2010).…”

Nas últimas décadas, dois temas de pesquisa têm se destacado no cenário acadêmico e organizacional: lean manufacturing e gestão ambiental. Desde 1996, quando Florida (1996 publicou um artigo enfocando a sinergia entre as duas áreas, o debate sobre o tema "Lean é Green?" ganhou espaço no âmbito acadêmico. É neste contexto que se pretende identificar: qual o estado da arte da literatura Lean é Green? Os resultados encontrados estão divididos em: características, impactos positivos e negativos, paradigmas lean, paradigmas green e design da cadeia. Para a realização de tal procedimento, foram seguidos os passos metodológicos de Lage Junior et Godinho Filho (2010) tendo sido pesquisados os trabalhos contidos no portal Scopus. A pesquisa foi realizada entre 01-06-2012 e 15-07-2012, e a palavra chave utilizada foi green lean; como filtro de pesquisa foram considerados apenas artigos e papers de conferência. O seu principal resultado é uma análise aprofundada do conhecimento acumulado sobre o tema, em que foi identificado que a maioria dos estudos realizados apontam para a sinergia entre alguns componentes do sistema lean manufacturing em relação à gestão ambiental. Já a lacuna de pesquisa encontrada refere-se a artigos que enfocam as entropias da união dos sistemas lean e green. Palavras-chave:Lean manufacturing, gestão ambiental e sistematização. ResumoIn recent decades, two research themes have been prominent in the academic and organizational setting: lean manufacturing and green management. Since 1996, when Florida (1996 wrote an article focusing on the synergy between these two areas, the debate if "Lean is Green?" enters in the academic field. It is in this context that this research presents the results of a systematic literature on the topic, focusing on the characteristics, positive and negative impacts, lean paradigms, green paradigms and design of supply chains. To perform this procedure it were followed the methodological footsteps of Lage Junior and Godinho Filho (2010). The research occurred in the database Scopus and it was conducted from June, 2012 to July, 2012.The key word used was "green lean" and as search filter it were included only articles and conference Papers. Their main result is a deep analysis of the accumulated knowledge on the subject, where it is revealed that the majority of studies point to the synergy between some components of the lean manufacturing system in relation to environmental management. The research gap found is related to articles that address the entropy of the union of lean and green systems. Abstract INTRODUÇÃODuas temáticas ganharam significativa importância no meio acadêmico e empresarial nas últimas décadas. São elas: lean manufacturing, definida como uma abordagem multidimensional que abrange uma grande variedade de práticas de gestão, incluindo just-in-time, sistemas de qualidade, equipes de trabalho, manufatura celular, gestão de forncedores etc, em um sistema de gestão integrado. O núcleo do sistema lean manufacturing é compreendido por essas práticas, que devem t...
