“…Reduced defect rate, decreased number of machine failures, and alleviated time inefficiencies were achieved by TPM implementation in a past study [222]. The contribution of TPM to environmental performance due to increased machine life, reduced hazardous leakage, and emissions is also evident in the literature [138,165,169]. There was another case where TPM was part of a model called integrated system of management that was established upon lean manufacturing, sustainability, and organization culture dynamics [172].…”

Global trends and factors, such as the increased level of globalization, climate change, resource scarcity, and awareness of social and environmental responsibilities, as well as fiercer competition and lower profit margins in all industries, force organizations to act to retain, regain, or sustain their competitive advantages for long-term survival. These trends and factors are historically known to bring about innovations that drive the evolution of industries. Sustainability is considered to be such an innovation to achieve fiscally sound, environmentally conscious, and socially progressive organizations and supply chains. This study reviewed 477 past articles published in five major databases from 1990 to 2018. The purpose of the study was to assess the current state-of-the art in the subject of lean-driven sustainability. Based on the exhaustive descriptive and contextual analysis, synergies, divergences, and the extent of two-way permeability of lean and sustainability concepts from the perspective of intra-and inter-organizational operations were identified along with future research opportunities. Fundamental strengths and weaknesses of both concepts, existing strong synergies and untapped potential, along with their key contributors, the potential-use cases of lean tools to derive sustainable solutions are highlighted in this review.

“…Já o Green se caracteriza como sendo o conjunto de iniciativas para reduzir/eliminar desperdícios sob a perspectiva ambiental (Verrier et al, 2014), e estas iniciativas podem ser aplicadas em diferentes áreas. Esses paradigmas ambientais muitas vezes ainda são tratados sob uma visão macroscópica na cadeia de suprimentos (Verrier et al, 2016) apresentando um potencial de expansão em empresas de diferentes setores e segmentos.…”
Um estudo utilizando Value Stream Mapping para identificar desperdícios baseados nos modeos Lean e Green em um centro automotivo ResumoOs centros automotivos são empresas de serviços responsáveis por manutenções preventivas básicas em veículos automotores. Enquadradas como micro ou pequenas empresas suas características gerenciais são influenciadas fortemente pelos proprietários, tornando difícil a passagem de uma estrutura administrativa vertical para horizontal, característica da visão baseada em processos. Este artigo objetiva utilizar o Value Stream Mapping (VSM) para identificar desperdícios de ordem Lean e Green nos principais processos de um centro automotivo. Este estudo de caso se baseia em informações coletadas por meio de entrevistas com os gestores e observação dos processos analisados. Aplicar o VSM a uma empresa de pequeno porte de serviços automotivos é relevante pela originalidade em aliar uma técnica de detalhamento de processos para obter oportunidades de melhorias Lean e Green. Os resultados obtidos foram sugestões de melhorias relativas à movimentação, espera, tempo e energia, podendo ser diminuídos os tempos de realização das atividades, economizados recursos e diminuídos custos.

AbstractAutomotive centers are service companies responsible for basic preventive maintenance in motor vehicles. Framed as micro or small companies, their managerial characteristics are strongly influenced by the owners, making difficult the transition from a vertical administrative structure to horizontal, characteristic of the vision based on processes. This paper aims to use Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to identify Lean and Green waste in the core processes of an automotive center. This case study is based on information collected through interviews with managers and observation of the analyzed processes. Applying the VSM to a small automotive service company is relevant because of its originality in combining a process detailing technique to gain Lean and Green improvement opportunities. The results obtained were suggestions for improvements related to the movement, inventory, time and energy, which could reduce the time for carrying out the activities, saving resources and reducing costs.
Despite the widespread recognition of the paybacks of "going green" and "going clean", limited research has focused on the impact of lean-green strategy on firm growth. In this study, we contribute to strategy and environmental sustainability literatures by investigating the possibility that the influence on lean-green strategy and firm growth is driven by different levels of industry competition, managerial power and family ties. Using panel data from 732 firms in four major industrialised economies (the US, Germany, France and the UK), we found that lean-green strategy positively relates to firm growth and this relationship is amplified at higher levels of competition, managerial power and family ties. Theoretical and practical implications of the study are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
