“…The barriers perform as key input, which motivates the integration of GLSS, whereas the performances in tradeoff supply are as output. In the previous studies that prevail with GLSS, management and financial constraints are the most pre-eminent barriers for the execution of this approach (Kaswan and Rathi, 2019;Yadav et al, 2020). So, barriers encourage the integration of individual Lean, Green and Six Sigma strategies under the umbrella of GLSS.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to integrate Green technology, Lean and Six Sigma methodology under the umbrella of Green Lean Six Sigma (GLSS). Further, the study also proposes an eight facet GLSS framework for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to enhance organizational sustainability.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, GLSS integration has been proposed based on intangible features like barriers, challenges, toolsets, etc. Moreover, the GLSS framework has been realized based on Six Sigma well-known define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) approach.FindingsIt has been found that lack of customer involvement, financial constraints and ignorance towards Kaizen are the most pre-eminent barriers for GLSS execution. Further, it has been found that most frequently used GLSS tools are the 5S, environmental value stream mapping (EVSM) and life cycle assessment (LCA). The proposed GLSS framework encompasses systematic application of different GLSS tools that lead improved organization sustainability.Practical implicationsThe present study will facilitate industrial managers to incorporate the GLSS approach in their business process through systematic understanding of key elements related to this sustainable approach. This study further prompts practitioner to incorporate GLSS in industry through systematic adoption of the proposed framework for improved environmental performance.Social implicationsThis work provides detailed knowledge for the researchers and academicians by dispensing awareness into integral measures and framework. GLSS toolsets dispensed in this work augments academicians and researchers to make decision which tools to be used at distinct phases of GLSS project execution.Originality/valueThe present study is the first of its kind that provides integral measures and GLSS framework for SMEs.

“…For a buying organization (a B2B customer) to offer sustainable offerings, the inputs facilitated by their suppliers and their suppliers' vendors need to be sustainable. Kaswan et al [17], Rathi et al [18,19], and Yadav et al [20] reveal that productivity-related criteria, management commitment, and the availability of finance were the most important factors in the implementation of TBL sustainability via a green lean six sigma approach. Miller et al [89] reveal that organizations must consider the larger social, political, and environmental climate, as well as suppliers, customers, investors, and government roles.…”

“…For example, the use of biodegradable and recyclable products and packaging, and services and products that are not responsible for excessive greenhouse gasses due to the utilization of renewable raw material and energy in their production [12][13][14]. A number of studies propose further research on greener and/or more sustainable environmental approaches [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]; hence, organizations should implement and develop sustainable procurement practices, which should include strategies, guidelines, and procedures to assist with more environmentally friendly and sustainable procurement decisions [12,15,16].…”

“…The necessity for this study, which considers the aforementioned B2B supplier preference variables, is also justified via literature since a number of authors conducted research on the preference of suppliers' salespeople [5,46,47], BEE status [31,32,34], service quality [9,59], relationship with salespeople and management [37][38][39][40], environment sustainability [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], culture, EE, and AA [28,[33][34][35][36], personal relationships and the provision of gifts [41][42][43][44][45], and access to management and exceeding expectations [48,49]. In summary, the inquiry seeks to understand what bases organizational buyers select their vendors so that sales organizations (vendors) can better align their services to satisfy B2B procurement vendor needs via a new B2B supplier preference paradigm that used the 3Ps of the TBL framework as the foundation of the proposed model.…”

The recent COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent invasion of Ukraine by Russia, has demonstrated to the world the volatile and fragile nature of global supply chains. Hence, this study is based on research gaps that propose new sustainable business-to-business (B2B) procurement/supplier models that consider different factors across industries and uses the triple bottom line (TBL) framework as the theoretical underpinning. The study used a quantitative methodological approach and convenience sampling to survey 445 organizations in a B2B procurement context in South Africa. The data were analyzed via structural equation modeling. The inquiry revealed that service quality was important to determine access to personnel and environmental sustainability, which had a favorable influence on personal relationships and gifts and, in turn, positively influenced relationships with salespeople and management. Culture, employment equity, and affirmative action positively affected Black Economic Empowerment status which had a favorable influence on the preference of suppliers’ salespeople. Several other positive associations were revealed, which resulted in a unique theoretical supplier preference contribution to the TBL framework. The study also provides organizations with a number of practical benefits stemming from the associations between the new sustainable B2B procurement/supplier constructs that are important as value-added business activities in an African developing economic context.

“…Lean manufacturing and smart manufacturing both complement the implementation of each other. Better adoption of industry 4.0 techniques is possible when Lean principles are already in place; similarly, smart manufacturing improves the effectiveness of Lean practices in place, leading to better shop floor management and sustainable organizational performance (Çınar et al ., 2020; Kamble et al ., 2020; Touriki et al ., 2021; Yadav et al ., 2021). The empirical evidence claims the synergetic benefits of Lean and industry 4.0 techniques.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify the prominent research constituents in the domain of integration of Lean manufacturing and Industry 4.0 techniques and analyze the intellectual structure among them.Design/methodology/approachA bibliometric analysis of articles based on Donthu et al. (2021a) has been adopted to conduct a systematic review of the integration of Lean manufacturing and Industry 4.0 using the Scopus database.FindingsThe co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling depicted three clusters and themes around which the research related to the integration of Lean manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Publications related to the topic have majorly focused on the development of conceptual models and frameworks for integrating Lean manufacturing and Industry 4.0, analyzing the compatibility between the two techniques for better implementation of one another and the techniques' combined impact on operational performance.Originality/valueMost of the review studies related to the domain of integration of Lean manufacturing and Industry 4.0 have adopted a systematic literature review methodology. The present study has tried to infer the intellectual framework of the research being conducted in the said domain using the bibliometric analysis to identify the prominent research constituents in the field and examine the intellectual relationship between them.
