How Lean Manufacturing Affects the Creation of Sustainable Value: An Integrated Model

Abstract: Lean Manufacturing (LM) has always been intended as a means to improve efficiency by reducing operations costs, but the recent focus on sustainability and its three pillars (economic, environmental, and social) raises new issues. In this paper, a new model that links LM with sustainability is proposed and then refined through a cross-sector multiple case study. The results highlight a need to align lean implementation processes with sustainability strategy to avoid negative impacts that LM could have on the co… Show more

“…There is a growing concern to manage companies and their operational linkages in a more sustainable way. This matter implies guiding operations towards a compliance with specific environmental, economic and social objectives that represent the triple bottom line (Walker et al 2014), offshore outsourcing operations playing a vital role to attain them (Resta et al 2017; Martínez-Jurado and Moyano-Fuentes 2014). One of the social objectives is the improvement of safety and health conditions at the workplace (Giannakis and Papadopoulos 2016), which the operations manager pursues to maximise  Specialisation improvements or co-specialisation results in greater value-added of the final product delivered to the final client.…”

“…Segundo Resta et al (2017) uma das estruturas mais adotadas para implementar e medir a sustentabilidade dentro da gestão de operações foi desenvolvida pelo Global Reporting Initiative (GRI, 2015). Desta forma o lean manufacturing surge como uma estratégia de produção avançada para fornecer melhoria da produtividade, maximização da qualidade e eliminação de resíduos (RESTA et al, 2016).…”

“…Apesar do crescente interesse em pesquisas relacionadas aos efeitos do desempenho do lean manufacturing, estudos que relacionam lean manufacturing e sustentabilidade permanecem escassos (AZEVEDO et al, 2012, RESTA et al, 2017. Segundo Resta et al (2017) a literatura existente fornece evidência limitada e conflitante de como o lean manufacturing e a sustentabilidade interagem e como estão interconectados.…”
