“…It indicates that research in this direction has not only centred on investigating the affinity of lean and green in a general context but also in specific areas such as supply chain (Dües et al, 2013;Wiengarten et al, 2013;Duarte and Cruz-Machado, 2014a), manufacturing (Galeazzo et al, 2014;Sobral et al, 2013) and product development (Johansson and Sundin, 2014). In some other cases, the possible impact of the lean-green compatibility on financial (Herrmann et al, 2008), environmental (Sobral et al, 2013;Herrmann et al, 2008) and operational (Puvanasvaran et al, 2011) performance has also been considered.…”

The move towards greener operations and products has forced companies to seek alternatives to balance efficiency gains and environmental friendliness in their operations and products. The exploration of the sequential or simultaneous deployment of lean and green initiatives is the results of this balancing action. However, the lean-green topic is relatively new, and it lacks of a clear and structured research definition. Thus, this paper's main contribution is the offering of a systematic review of the existing literature on lean and green, aimed at providing guidance on the topic, uncovering gaps and inconsistencies in the literature, and finding new paths for research. The paper identifies and structures, through a concept map, six main research streams that comprise both conceptual and empirical research conducted within the context of various organisational functions and industrial sectors. Important issues for future research are then suggested in the form of research questions. The paper's aim is to also contribute by stimulating scholars to further study this area in depth, which will lead to a better understanding of the compatibility and impact on organisational performance of lean and green initiatives. It also holds important implications for industrialists, who can develop a deeper and richer knowledge on lean and green to help them formulate more effective strategies for their deployment.

Abstract:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a model for integrating Lean Principles with ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. Design/methodology: To achieve the objective of the study, the methodology used in this study is based on preliminary literature review of ISO 14001 standards and Lean Principles as well as certain case reports from various proponents and authors of ISO 14001 and Lean as noted in various articles and journals and some books. Findings: The findings of this study are a new model called Lean Environmental ManagementIntegration System (LEMIS) has been developed and leads to the creation of these measurement standards for evaluating the organization, making its environmental efforts more realistic, focused and attainable. specify these performance measures making the standard achieve sustainability and continual improvement.Originality/value: This study presents a unique approach of integrating the two main models, namely Lean Principles and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, as a single framework benefiting contemporary organizations.

“…TPM is another lean tool that was linked with solutions to some economic, environmental, and social sustainability issues [8,101,225,226]. TPM was often referred as one of the most effective waste elimination tools [142,151,249]. In a past study, TPM was shown to be among ten lean tools that simultaneously help with productivity and environmental efficiency [4].…”

“…The performance measures of lean and sustainability have both synergies and divergences. The most commonly shared KPIs for lean and sustainability are customer service level, profitability, energy and resource consumption, as well as employee safety and satisfaction [105,113,149,249,253,254]. On the divergent side, KPIs related to supplier selection, logistics, and raw material acquisition have been designed to prioritize different preferences [11,160,171,206,[255][256][257][258].…”

“…Expectations of lean customers and sustainable customers also differ from each other to some extent [92,149]. Lean customers prioritize cost efficiency and shorter delivery times, whereas a high majority of sustainable customers are more interested in environmental and social aspects of the products and services delivered [101,249,259]. However, neither of the customer segments are reported to object to benefits of an integrated system, if initial expectation is unharmed.…”

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.
