“…According to the results of this test, LM and the adoption of an ISO 14001-based EMS can be integrated and be a greater driving force promoting green practices due to the congruence between their principles and requirements. This conclusion agrees with the studies [21,22] that suggest an integrative effect between LM and ISO 14001. In consequence our research provides empirical support to those studies.…”

“…Related studies [21,22] considered LM and ISO 14001 to be complementary and state that LM and ISO 14001 should be integrated to achieve synergies. Jabbour et al [67] show that the requirements of ISO 14001 related to waste elimination and equipment maintenance highly overlap with the principles of LM and, consequently, both approaches can be integrated to create synergies [23,68].…”

“…In consequence, the existence of a mediating effect needs to be tested and clarified. Fourth, many companies implement environmental management systems (EMS) based on the requirements set by the International Organization for Standardization's standard ISO 14001 and some studies [21,22] suggest that LM and ISO 14001 can be integrated to achieve some synergies. However, the adoption of ISO 14001 standards requires intricate documentation and formalized processes [23].…”

Lean Manufacturing and Environmental Sustainability: The Effects of Employee Involvement, Stakeholder Pressure and ISO 14001

This paper explores the relationships between lean manufacturing (LM), the promotion of green practices, employee involvement, pressure to take actions against environmental issues, the adoption of an ISO 14001-based environmental management system (EMS) and environmental performance in order to understand how LM can help improve environmental performance through environmental practices and the development of a lean culture. The effects of pressure to “go green”, employee involvement and the adoption of an EMS based on the International Organization for Standardization’s standard ISO 14001 are discussed. Data were collected from 220 Chinese manufacturing firms and analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) regression. The results suggest that the implementation of LM has a positive effect on the promotion of green practices and consequent achievement of high environmental performance; employee involvement is a moderator that affects the relationship between green practices and environmental performance; pressure to “go green” is a mediator in the relationship between LM and green practices; however, the adoption of ISO 14001 does not act as a moderator on the relationship between LM and green practices, but synergies emerge if ISO 14001 is integrated with LM. The study shows the importance of human attitudes and fosters managers to develop the necessary mechanisms to ensure and enhance employee involvement and lean culture. Although these determinants of environmental sustainability have been studied separately until now, this paper analyzes them simultaneously, investigating the relationship between different strategies and shedding some light on successful actions that promote sustainable manufacturing, and on the role of LM in sustainability. The findings can help manufacturers to take the initiative to improve environmental performance and assist governments in implementing industrial policies.

“…In another empirical study for furniture industry, Miller et al, (2010) concluded in the favor of increased overall operational performance through co-deployment of lean and sustainability [243]. Similar claims were made by Puvanasvaran et al, (2014) [271]. Furthermore, Canon reduced CO 2 emissions in their facilities through SERU (similar to lean's cellular manufacturing) implementation [272].…”

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.

“…The core elements of lean philosophy could be linked to ISO 14001 in a joint Lean Environmental Management Integration System (LEMIS) model, the inputs and outputs of the model, and the expected outcomes (Puvanasvaran et al, 2014b). Same should be done in quantification of OEE by putting both of the high utilization of equipment as well as customer demand into consideration to minimize the inventory level as the main expected outcomes.…”
