“…The LP initially broken down into four areas/strategic phases of production: Product development, supply chain, also called Kanban supermarket [10][11][12], the management of the workshop, and after-sales service. Thanks to a continued and applied research the LP has become a vital model for the entire business system, the Lean Management (LM) [13], emphasizing the expansion of the management production management of the organization in all its activities. In this way, the LM is often seen as a set of tools that compete for the reduction of the overall cost, and at the same time, are intended to improve the quality of manufactured products.…”

Current industrial production is driven by increasing globalization, which has led to a steady increase in production volumes and complexity of products aimed at the pursuit of meeting the needs of customers. In this context, one of the main tools in the management of customer value is Lean Manufacturing or Production, though it is considered primarily as a set of tools to reduce the total cost of the resources needed to achieve such needs. This philosophy has recently been enriched in the literature with case studies that link Lean Management (LM) with the improvement of environmental sustainability. The consequence is an expansion of the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM); indeed, CIM, currently, combining and integrating the key business functions (e.g., business, engineering, manufacturing, and information management) with a view of the life cycle, does not highlight the strategic role of the environmental aspects. In order to deal with the increasingly rapid environmental degradation that is reflected in society, in terms of both economy and quality of life, Industrial Ecology (IE) introduced a new paradigm of principles and instruments of analysis and decision support (e.g., Life Cycle Assessment-LCA, Social Life Cycle Assessment -SLCA, Material Flow Account-MFA, etc.) that can be considered as the main basis for integrating the environmental aspects in each strategy, design, production, final product, and end of life management, through the re-engineering of processes and activities towards the development of an eco-industrial OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2014, 6 6363 system. This paper presents the preliminary observations based on a analysis of both theories (LM-IE) and provides a possible assessment of the key factors relevant to their integration in a "lean environmental management", highlighting both positives (lights) and possible barriers (shadows).

“…Following lean cooperation on supply chain level is then mainly for the purpose of integrating suppliers and ensuring sustainability of internally implemented lean practices (Cagliano et al, 2006;Reichhart & Holweg, 1997) or rather an effective management of the supply chain (Li et al, 2005). That is also why lean management is a much better wording than lean production (Warnecke & Hüser, 1995).…”

“…Although many companies right after tried to copy and apply Toyota's system, they could not and still cannot reached what exactly Toyota is doing (Söderberg andAlfredson, 2009, Liker, 2003). Nevertheless, some scholars distinguish Toyota's production method from others with just their intensive tendency to keep looking for improved solutions (Warnecke and Hüser, 1995). Toyota has utilized lean production system as a revolutionary approach, which is known for Toyota Production System or TPS.…”

“…In other words, Lean can be defined as reducing lead times by eliminating wastes of processes that lead to high quality, low cost, high safety and high spirit within company from product design to deliver the product (Womack and Jones, 1991). However, Warnecke and Hüser (1995) defined lean as a system of methods and measure that together lead to competitiveness not just in manufacturing part but in the whole company. According to them four individual aspect in lean is defined as product development, supply chain, shop floor management and after sales service (Warnecke and Hüser, 1995).…”

Manufacturing Industry as an important part of European and Swedish economy faces new challenges with the daily growing global competition. An enabler of overcoming these challenges is a rapid transforming to a value-based focus. Investment in innovation tools for production system development is a crucial part of that focus which helps the companies to rapidly adapt their production systems to new changes. Those changes can be categorized to incremental and radical ones. In this research we studied the Obeya concept as a supporting tool for production system development with both of those approaches. It came from Toyota production system and is a big meeting space which facilitates communication and data visualization for a project team. Four lean companies have been studied to find the role of such spaces in production development. Results indicate a great opportunity for improving those spaces and their application to radical changes in production development projects
