“…Other studies found that managers' environmental responsibility is the most important driver of environmental behavior (Gandhi, Thanki, & Thakkar, 2018;Henriques & Catarino, 2015;Iraldo, Testa, Lanzini, & Battaglia, 2017;Shahlan, Sidek, Suffian, Hazza, & Daud, 2018). Pressure from top management and stakeholder is considered as major influence in businesses going green.…”

One of the greatest challenges facing the world today is climate change. The need to consistently advance with environmentally sustainable practices in today's businesses is crucial, and businesses are demanded to be more environmentally sustainable every day. This study conducts an analysis of the literature on small and medium‐sized enterprises' (SMEs) environmental sustainability by carefully examining 122 studies from 58 journals published from 2013 to 2019. We investigate the trends in drivers and barriers of sustainability adoption to inform both SMEs managers and policymakers. Our results also classify the reviewed studies on the basis of their methodologies and show the distribution of studies across industry sectors and locations in order to set directions for future research on sustainability practices of SMEs.

“…Government is found to be a major external driver which influences the behavior of SMEs primarily through regulation, legislation, economic and structural support, and knowledge dissemination. Gandhi et al (2018) research findings explain that support of the Government is extremely significant for a successful deployment of lean-green paradigms. Cambra-Fierro and Ruiz-Benítez (2011) say that the sustainable practices are primarily motivated by legislation.…”

Formal SMEs contribute up to 60% of total employment and up to 40% of GDP in emerging economies (World Bank, 2015). Globalization council (2009) study reveals that SMEs have more flexibility than MNCs to easily adapt and change to meet important environmental & social targets. Thus, with the right strategy, SMEs can offer both economic prosperity and environmental protection. This raises an important question as to what drives SMEs to consider sustainability in their practices? The article aims at presenting a comprehensive list of numerous drivers identified globally by various researchers using the research technique of systematic literature review. The study intends to contribute to the knowledge base by providing comprehensive state-of-the-art views and findings in the area sustainability practices and their drivers particularly in the context of SMEs.

“…Numerous studies have been carried out on the application of lean ( [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]) and system simulation ( [21], [21], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29]) to improve the productivity of various manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, automotive, steel, telecommunication, food, pharmaceutical, rope, metal, and instrumentation. Although several studies have been conducted on the use of either VSM or simulation techniques with a view to improving the productivity of various manufacturing industries, no study in the literature has examined the integration of simulation and VSM in improving productivity in a steel shaft manufacturing environment.…”

Productivity improvement in the steel industry is pivotal to achieving competiveness that stimulate the economic growth of a country. In the past decade, the steel shaft manufacturing industry has experienced low productivity rates, making it difficult to compete at a global level. In light of this, the aim of this research study is to investigate the various process wastes and bottlenecks that limit the productivity progression of a steel shaft manufacturing environment, using integrated value stream mapping and system simulation methodologies. Data captured through the 1
