“…); (iv) variability and change not considered, especially in the business environment; (v) failing assessment of risk (risk undiscovered or incorrectly assessed); (vi) non-holistic assessment -crucial interdependencies and discrepancies are ignored, which can be only identified when a whole (company, supply chain, ecosystem) is assessed. The research results presented in [9] also confirm, that even highly sophisticated but inadequate design of assessment does not protect against basic, but significant dysfunctionalities. Consequently, on the basis of empirical evidence, the rationale of existing approaches and methods for assessment can be questioned.…”

“…According to the causal analysis of side negative effects presented in [9], the most significant factors of dysfunctional assessments are: (i) focus on targeted and first momentum effects; (ii) too limited horizon of assessment, i.e. time-inconsistency; (iii) bypassed externalities (e.g.…”

Abstract. Ineffective evaluation of operations strategy, resulting in negative side effects, is increasingly frequently reported in literature. It is mostly explained by non-integral and inconsistent assessment. Therefore an integrated framework for assessment was conceptualized to eliminate the reported dysfunctionalities. It is based on the paradigm of New Economy, holism, and departs from common but narrowing approaches, which solely focus on the business/company point of view. The proposal applies an ecosystemic perspective, which is fundamental for collaborative networks or when Internet ecosystems are used to drive operations. Both, procedural and cultural foundations are considered in the proposed solution.

Green Production has becoming increasingly important because of the growing need for sustainable development. Lean Production is one the most influential concepts in contemporary industrial management. The focus of Lean Production has been waste elimination and streamlining operations. Therefore, it is natural to seek alternatives for balancing or synergizing productivity gains with environmental friendliness by combining Green and Lean initiatives. However, Green and Lean practices may result in negative side effects. Such cases are mostly explained by dysfunctional assessments of effects. Sometimes, companies center on the positive effects, but hide or externalize negative trade-offs. Therefore, consistent assessment is critical to secure the achievement of Green and Lean objectives. An assessment has to consider all vital interdependencies between various effects. When enforced by law, it should respect all limitations and incentives set by regulators. To address these issues, an approach to integrated assessment of Green-Lean Production was conceptualized. Two fundamental strategic perspectives are considered for assessment: the product and operations views.
