“…In addition to that, the aforementioned technologies have been integrated with various lean and green manufacturing facets, which include JIT, Kanban, reduced lead times and carbon footprint reduction. Amjad et al (2020) developed a conceptual framework that discussed the connections between various Industry 4.0 technologies and LARG constituents; however, the present study expands that work and provides a comprehensive overview of the interaction between the two paradigms in manufacturing context. The sustainability-Industry 4.0 proposed by Kamble et al (2018) discusses the interrelationships between Industry 4.0 technologies and the process integration, but does not provide a robust overview of how the Industry 4.0 technologies will interact with manufacturing techniques.…”

Purpose In the modern manufacturing environment, it is imperative to apply the manufacturing concepts of lean, agile, resilient and green, collectively known as LARG manufacturing, to achieve excellence in which lean manufacturing eliminates wastes; agile manufacturing makes processes fast, efficient and flexible; resilient paradigm deals with countering the uncertainty while green manufacturing improves environmental performance. The objective of this study is to develop an integration framework that synergizes LARG manufacturing with Industry 4.0. Design/methodology/approach Through a literature review, the authors have explored the possibility of collaboration between constituents of lean, agile, resilient and green manufacturing with the facets of Industry 4.0. Findings The authors have developed a comprehensive integration framework that has been divided into 11 phases and 31 steps in which the various Industry 4.0 facets have supplemented the lean, agile, resilient and green paradigms. Practical implications This investigation and adoption of technologically intensive automation shall provide clarity to practitioners regarding the synergy of LARG manufacturing & Industry 4.0, so that fast and efficient manufacturing processes can be achieved. Originality/value The framework provides detailed insight towards implementation of LARG practices in a manufacturing organization in coalescence with Industry 4.0 practices.

“…Although some studies have linked Industry 4.0 technologies to lean tools [e.g., [80][81][82][83], the convergence of these interlinks and the TBL requirements remains underdeveloped [84,85]. According to [86], this convergence would contribute a new perspective and guides to research experts, practitioners and those who are keen to realize the benefits of this integration to transform the organizational sector into a more sustainablebased state.…”

Sustainability-Oriented Application of Value Stream Mapping: A Review and Classification

et al. 2021

Notwithstanding the research on refining lean tools for the sake of sustainable development is slowly progressing, sustainability-oriented application of value stream mapping has received undivided attention from practitioners and researchers. Going through the literature highlights that there is a lack of research in integrating and systematising the available knowledge on this lean tool, which is regarded as a visual process-based method to make sustainable progress over the time-based and green concepts of wastes to also assess and improve the societal sustainability performance of organisations. Hence, this paper has been aimed at presenting the findings of a systematic literature review on value stream mapping from the triple bottom line point of view. It classifies and codes the main studies in the context as well as provides a research agenda with nine recommendations that may advance this under-studied field. To narrow the gap in the current literature, this article also proposes a sustainability indicator set that would considerably contribute to guiding and strengthening the state-of-the-art research on successful implementation of the application. Besides, the findings indicate that more investigations are needed on employing survey and conceptual methodologies, applying comparative and cross-industry perspectives, developing sustainability indicator sets particularly societal metrics, and considering the stakeholders' benefits from adopting sustainability-oriented value stream mapping. The research on the convergence of this sustainability-oriented application and new paradigms such as IR 4.0 and/or Circular Economy should be also strengthened.

The supply chain management is planning, implementation and effective control of supply chain operations considered as a key factor for the competitiveness of the organizations. To make these targets, four management strategies of lean, agile, resilient and green have been separately proposed. Recently, studies have been performed with a consideration of these four strategies simultaneously named LARG (Lean, Agile, Resilient and Green). However, due to the novelty of this subject, the mathematical modeling of SCND (Supply Chain Network Design) has not been addressed in LARG strategy. SCND is one of the most essential parts of supply chain management that strategic decisions of it have heavily effects in both overall and partial applicability of the supply chain. The goal of this paper is to design a closed loop supply chain network considering LARG strategy using multi-objective modeling with uncertain demand. The objective functions are total profit, customer satisfaction and total pollution. The model is formulated to determine which facility sites should be selected (strategic decisions), and find out the optimal number of parts and products in the network (tactical decisions). Finally, a real industrial case study is provided to illustrate the performance and applicability of the LARG strategy in SCND in practice.
