| Abstract |
Over the past few years there has been an emergent trend towards integrating a lean and green approach with a number of papers and books written, but most of these take an outside-in approach describing case studies from industry. This paper differs in that it takes an inside-out approach; describing a Lean and Green Business Model (L&GBM) developed within a major global engineering company. It describes the five key principles of a Lean and Green Business Model, (i) a stable value stream, (ii) identification of environmental impacts, (iii) measurement the environmental value streams, (iv) improvement of the environmental value streams and (v) continuous improvement. It further explains how the model applies a Kaizen approach for improving mass and energy flows of manufacturing environment that already possesses a basic deployment level in applying lean. Some of the key findings identified by the researchers highlight that (i) L&GBM has a different purpose than traditional Lean or Environmental Thinking, (ii) L&GBM covers the three dimensions of sustainability, (iii) L&GBM has a Lean to Green approach and (iv) L&GBM is an alternative approach to integrate environmental concerns into operations management which enhances workplace engagement in reducing the environmental impact of the manufacturing processes by leveraging the lean attributes of involvement and empowerment to the environmental functions within the organization that traditionally have focused on compliance. |
