“…Green and lean practices have been adopted by organisations in order to achieve more environmentally sound operations and to manage their relationships with suppliers in the context of supply chain management (Vais et al, 2005;Azevedo et al, 2012;Kurdve et al, 2014). The lean paradigm is perceived to reduce waste (and consequently to reduce costs), to improve quality and productivity, to ensure better use of resources and to deliver value to customers (EPA, 2007;Pakdil and Leonard, 2014).…”

Globalisation has created both drivers and pressure for Chinese organisations to enhance their business performance as well as environmental performance. Green and lean practice is emerging as a critical approach for Chinese organisations to achieve sustainable development and improve organisational performance. By conducting empirical studies from 172 respondents on green and lean practice in different Chinese organisations, this research shows how green and lean practice affects organisational performance and how this association is affected by guanxi. The findings explain that guanxi between organisational partners improves the positive effect of green and lean practice on organisational performance. The results of this paper offer helpful insights into how managers should enhance their guanxi initiatives, in order to improve environmental and business performance over their supply chains. The paper also suggests the limitations of this research, as well as directions for future research.

“…The work items and production processes which require resources but which do not create value (i.e. transport, inventory, motion, waiting) should be identified in the planning phase and they should be minimized [37].…”

“…• Site waste management can be enhanced through 5S and 3R tools as 5S tool deals with five-step process for workplace organization, housekeeping, cleanliness, and standardized work [37] (p. 51) enhancing productivity, quality, speed, and safety of the work [27] whereas 3R is focusing on "reducing, reusing and recycling" to become lean and green [27]. Furthermore, site waste management requires [39]: a well structured waste management plan; agreements between contractors and sub-contractors to determine who is responsible for waste on-site; usage of waste companies that offer free waste skip disposal or usage of colour coded bins to segregate waste for recycling;…”

The world's habitat is being deteriorated despite of the precautions taken. Construction industry is among the industries which highly effect the environment adversely not only through its outputs but also through the construction process and its inputs. The main focus in dealing with the reduction of its footprint has been on sustainable building certificates which mainly analyse the output of the construction activies. There is need to analyse the construction supply chain as a whole and to embed sustainability dynamics in construction supply chain management. Lean construction project management contributes to the reduction of the environmental footprint of the construction industry, enabling reduction in waste, and increasing value added activities. For this reason, based on an in depth literature review, this paper analyses and establishes the principles of the integration of the sustainability dynamics into lean construction supply chain management.

“…Para Maxwell et al (1998), as instalações que incorporam a produção enxuta foram dedicadas a uma filosofia de redução de desperdícios que poderiam facilmente ser estendidas para alcançar os objetivos de proteção ambiental. Vais et al (2006) sugerem que, para se tornar enxuta e ambientalmente amigável a organização, deve se concentrar no consumo de energia e nos resíduos de materiais, que são inputs e outputs de um sistema Cita-se, frequentemente, como principais objetivos e metas da produção enxuta, a redução de custo (OHNO, 1988) Boiral (2006) processo de melhoria ambiental, uma vez que são responsáveis pelo fornecimento de insumos que afetam diretamente a eficiência ambiental do produto final. Em um artigo recente, Dües, Tan e Lim (2012) reafirmam a relação sinérgica e promissora entre produção enxuta e gestão ambiental, com influências positivas para a melhoria do desempenho ambiental em cadeias de suprimentos.…”

“…Maxwell et al (1998), Rothenberg, Pil e Maxwell (2001) e Simpson e Power (2005) enfatizam a importância do envolvimento dos funcionários, seja para intervir no processo para evitar falhas (que causam retrabalhos e uso desnecessário de recursos), ou para se comprometer e propor melhorias relativas ao melhor uso e conservação de insumos. Nesse mesmo sentido, os círculos de qualidade também são uma forma de promover esse envolvimento, uma vez que proporcionam aos funcionários treinamentos e workshops visando à motivação para participar de projetos de eficiência ambiental e de mudança de comportamento, favorecendo o consumo responsável (VAIS et al, 2006). Vais et al (2006) também citam o 5S e a manutenção produtiva total como práticas da produção enxuta que auxiliam a gestão ambiental.…”

The aim of this paper is to verify whether the practices of lean manufacturing are positively associated with the adoption of environmental management practices in Brazilian companiesResumo: O objetivo deste artigo é verificar se as práticas de manufatura enxuta estão se relacionando positivamente com a adoção de práticas de gestão ambiental em empresas brasileiras do setor automotivo, com a finalidade de testar uma hipótese largamente argumentada na literatura de que ao ser "lean", uma empresa tende também a ser "green". Para tanto, foi sugerido um framework relacionando esses conceitos, com a proposição de uma hipótese de pesquisa. Os dados, coletados em 75 empresas, foram analisados por meio de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. Os principais resultados indicam que a manufatura enxuta (LM) se relaciona positivamente à gestão ambiental (EM), mas o poder de determinação de LM em EM tende a ser considerado entre fraco e moderado. De fato, ser lean é ser também green, mas outras variáveis organizacionais não consideradas neste estudo podem estar influenciando o greening das organizações.Palavras-chave: Gestão ambiental. Manufatura enxuta. Setor automotivo. Brasil.
