“…The findings also revealed that TQM and partnering have a strong and positive correlation between all the environmental attributes performance. The performances are reducing construction wastes, compliance with local authority's or government requirement, reducing the energy consumption of the project and producing a neat and clean site environment [13][14][15][16]. The findings proved a research by Caldera et al [12] that the implementation of LC can improve the contractor's environmental performance…”

“…According to Caldera et al [12], the implementation of LC can improve the environmental performance of a construction project. Previously, in placing more emphasis, Ciarniene and Vienazindiene [13] stated that the implementation of LC tools will reduce the construction wastes at the site as per Table 2. The similar research area also mentioned a project will comply with a local authority or government requirement [14] and reduce the energy consumption of a project [15].…”

In resolving the issues of construction wastes, lean construction (LC) tools are anticipated to be used in the construction industry. LC is a sustainable approach that can accomplish the construction wastes efficiently throughout the construction processes. ThE approach also encourages organisations in sustaining their growth and profitability in the industry. This paper is a preliminary survey, therefore, aim to analyse the perceived effectiveness of LC tools in reducing construction waste for the enhancement of contractor’s environmental performance in the Malaysian construction industry. A structured interview was conducted with twenty (20) key personnel from selected G7 contractors in Malaysia, which are registered with the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia. The results revealed that total quality management and partnering were the significant LC tools in reducing construction wastes. These LC tools also have a strong relationship with the contractor’s environmental performance. The findings defined in this paper could be necessary for future LC tools framework development that can strengthen the contractor’s quality of work. This advancement is in-line towards enhancing the Malaysian construction industry through the fourth industrial revolution.

Purpose:The purpose of the research is to present the comparison and connection between three manufacturing paradigms, Lean, Green, and Sustainable Manufacturing. Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology of the research is based on the literature review of three paradigms, including, definitions, methods and tools, as well as main challenges. Findings: Transition towards Sustainable Manufacturing has been taking place in an evolutionary way and may be traced in the context of changes in production paradigms. The production paradigms presented in paper do not cover all examples of paradigms classification contained in the literature, since, they only indicate the way to learn the theories and challenges that the scientific community and economic practitioners must face. Practical Implications: Lean and green methods and tools support the realization of sustainable manufacturing processes challenges. Originality/Value: The paper presents synergy between every production paradigms. Every new paradigm generally considers the objectives and approaches of the previous one, so integrating the lean and green approach is a natural consequence. The combination of these two concepts enables achieving a synergetic effect even if a trade-off and balance of divergent goals. The shift from conventional manufacturing practices to more sustainable practices has led to better compliance with regulations and standards in order to enhance the corporate and brand image while pursuing economic benefits and environmental and societal responsibility.
