The growing concern for the environmental issues in the recent times due to stringent government regulations, scarcity of resources and global warming issues are prompting the organizations to incorporate “greening initiatives” into their supply chain (SC) operations. The preliminary step in this direction is to identify the environmental concerns and to take appropriate measures to reduce them. Green manufacturing has been widely viewed as a major solution to tackle the above problems.
Recently, few organizations approaching green manufacturing have tried to use it as a marketing tool to attain edge over their competitors. Only few organizations show actual concerns over adopting green manufacturing practices due to its associated economic investments. The basic aim of the “greening manufacturing” is to coordinate the production activities within a SC so as to reduce the waste and maximize the use of clean technology to meet the needs of the organization at “least cost” to the environment. Earlier, only monetary terms used to define the “cost”, but now the “cost” includes not only the monetary value but also the costs associated with environmental and social activities. Another crucial aspect for manufacturing organizations is to streamline their operations by eliminating waste and non value added operations. This gave rise to the concept of Lean supply chain management, which aims to identify waste in SC operations and reduce the time, costs, or inventory for organizations. The key to achieving these challenges is by changing the company decision-making processes to incorporate environmental aspect, be it form of “green” or “lean SC operations, which will overall affect the overall environmental cost of the operations. The manufacturing aspect which forms the basis of SC are thus, are undergoing fundamental changes. Companies are, among other things, reducing their supplier base, forming green partnerships with key suppliers, and implementing lean manufacturing methods. The purpose of these supply chain initiatives is to reduce both costs and wastes. Conventional decision-making approaches commonly overlook or inadequately represent the costs and benefits that may occur in departments outside the decision-makers area. These developments led to few questions unanswered questions like how to integrate the tools, what are the complications in correlating the two paradigms that are still not answered. Further, the analytical and scientific methods to support practitioners were not explicitly discussed in the past.
This book is planned to provide a stage by stage integration of lean and green manufacturing paradigms to achieve environmental and economic benefits. The various chapters in the book are expected to support the practicing managers during the implementation of integrated lean and green manufacturing paradigms. The book chapters will be organized into three parts: 1) Conceptualizing integrated lean and green manufacturing paradigms; 2) Tools and techniques for integrated lean and green paradigms; and 3) case studies demonstrating the implementation of integrating lean green paradigms. Therefore, the main aim of the book is to publish the well-written original research studies and articles which are related to the ‘Lean green manufacturing Combining paradigms to achieve eco-efficiency and business performance’.
