“…Many scholars use the coupling function to study the relationship between the SDGs, while the direction of sustainable development involves more than two subsystems [21][22][23]. Complexities in sustainability evaluations of subsystems will reflect multiple roles and these roles need to be integrated [24][25][26]. It is interconnected and holistic, and previous studies lack systematic and comprehensive holistic consideration.…”

The maintenance of sustainable development in light of climate change is presenting society with a serious challenge. This study analyzes the spatial environment and its coupled relationship with socio-economic and food security in the Chaohu Lake Basin in central Anhui Province, China. Previous studies have shown that this study area has good environmental conditions. However, the ecological security, economic development, and food security in the Chaohu Lake Basin was generally poor and poorly coordinated in 2018, especially in the center of local cities and surrounding areas. Nevertheless, many towns are in a well-organized state, meaning sustainable and coordinated regional development can be achieved through resource optimization. Generally, the economic conditions in the Chaohu Lake Basin should be improved in a way that ensures that the environment is not significantly degraded. The main functional zoning requirements of the counties’ land management planning designate most of the counties as parts of ecological conservation areas. The present study provides monitoring of important basin ecosystems and serves as a guide to future sustainable regional development by providing directions and paths to follow; it can also provide a reference for eco-functional zoning that is applicable to various natural basins worldwide.

“…Similarly, six sigma signifies defect as material waste, space occupied, safety issue, and energy consumed [63]. The relationship between these three strategies is evident from Figure 1 Objectives of green, lean, and six sigma and common aspects of GLSS, adapted from Snee [64], Dues et al [65], and Kaswan and Rathi [22].…”

“…GLSS enablers are a combination of various tools and techniques of green, lean, and six sigma that are utilized to enhance the execution of GLSS strategy. These tools are capable of identifying and removing environmental wastes along with achieving resource conservation objectives [22]. Figure 8 highlights GLSS tools in organizations according to their requirements and characteristics.…”

“…This gap is well highlighted in literature by several researchers such as Kumar et al [20], Gaikwad and Sunnapwar [19], and Cherrafi et al [21]. A combined GLSS approach is perceived as a potential strategy for the organizations towards environmental sustainability [22] as compared to the individual strategies or any of the two strategies. For example, lean six sigma lacks the ability of addressing life cycle impacts and managing environmental programs whereas green strategy can overcome this limitation by utilizing life cycle analysis (LCA) and environment management system (EMS) tools [11].…”

“…Few studies have identified the theoretical constructs of a GLSS approach such as drivers, critical success factors (CSFs), tools and techniques, barriers, and outcomes individually [2,22,24,25]. However, there is little research that addresses the above GLSS constructs as a consolidated approach in reducing environmental impacts of organizations [10,19].…”

Investigating the Theoretical Constructs of a Green Lean Six Sigma Approach towards Environmental Sustainability: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Directions

2020

Green lean six sigma (GLSS) is an emerging approach towards environmental sustainability in conjunction with operational achievements. The success of this approach is premised on an understanding of the different components of a GLSS program; being the determinants for its outcomes. The aim of this paper is to investigate the various constructs of GLSS that play an essential role in achieving environmental sustainability. For this purpose, a systematic review of available literature has been conducted to evaluate the drivers, enablers (tools), and outcomes of a GLSS strategy as well as its critical success factors and barriers. Findings reveal that these constructs of GLSS as a holistic approach can facilitate an organization to better accomplish environmental objectives such as waste minimization, emission reduction, and resource conservation as compared to constructs of only one or any two of these strategies. Based on the analysis, an integrated GLSS framework is developed for environmental sustainability in addition to identifying vital research gaps and future directions.
