“…The government could add funding through provisioning tax incentives or government subsidies for alternative energy technologies to Chinese manufacturers to adopt LM practices, such as lower insurance premiums and bank financing for LM practices at lower interest rates for reducing operational environment risks (Abu et al, 2022). According to the study of Bouazza et al (2021), governments encourage companies to develop strategies for more sustainable operations. Therefore, we expect governmental support to have a positive impact on LM adoption for Chinese manufacturing firms and propose the following hypothesis:…”

Purpose This study aims to analyze the determinants influencing Chinese manufacturing companies in implementing lean manufacturing (LM). Design/methodology/approach The determinants to be explored in this study consist of technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) dimensions. A questionnaire survey was conducted on Chinese manufacturing companies, and 208 samples were analyzed. Findings The findings show that the relative advantage of LM and organizational support have significantly positive effects on Chinese manufacturing firms’ adoption of LM. The complexity of LM, quality of human resources, organizational readiness, customer pressure, international situation, governmental support and environmental uncertainty do not have significant effects. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature by using the TOE model to explore the factors influencing LM adoption in the Chinese manufacturing industry.

“…Environmental perfo rmance and lean implementation were investigated by Bouazza et al in 2021. According to one claim, implementing lean results in the elimination of both lean waste and the accompanying environmental waste, improving environmental performance. Additionally, the study was limited to looking into how using 5S, kaizen, and pokeyoke lean techniques would affect environmental performance.…”

“…Also, GarzaReyes (2015) and Thekkoote (2022) stated that a lean enterprise is faced with environmental challenges like climate change, environmental degradation, and natural resource scarcity. Bouazza et al (2021) stated that lean enterprises can achieve a sustainable competitive advantage through making their operations more environmentally friendly. As a result, it is not enough for the lean enterprise to achieve operational and financial benefits; it must also reconsider how to make its processes and products more environmentally sustai nable.It means that environmental sustainability is considered one of the strategic necessities for enterprises, which must be aligned with their traditional priorities of profitability and efficiency.…”

In order to identify the effects of implementing lean tools on an enterprise’s environmental performance, a framework is proposed in this study in order to explain the direct relationship between the two. In order to demonstrate lean and sustainability principles, sustainability’s dimensions, pertinent lean tools, and the influence of adopting lean tools on corporate environmental performance, descriptive analytical techniques are utilised to evaluate the current literature. Additionally, a framework for assessing the effect of using lean technologies on an enterprise’s environmental performance is proposed using a constructive approach. The analysis indicates that there may be a direct or indirect link between the application of lean and environmental performance. Only the direct link between lean implementation and environmental performance was examined in this article. When lean tools are used, environmental performance improves accidentally as a consequence of lower material, water, and energy consumption, waste generation, and emissions into the air, land, or water. On the other hand, future research can examine the indirect relationship between the application of lean and environmental performance. This study offers a novel academic methodology for assessing the influence of lean doption on environmental performance. Additionally, managers can use the framework as a guide to find the best lean tools to apply in order to get rid of lean waste and the associated environmental waste.

“…The choice of the right tool depends primarily on where the lean philosophy is implemented, i.e. in which industry or department of the company (Liker, 2011;Ohno, 2008;Rewers, 2015;Wisniewski, 2010;Ulewicz, 2021;Bouazza, 2021;Gazi, 2023).…”

The paper presents the results of improving the production process using the SMED method. The process improvement was carried out in a company in the construction industry, using a machine park consisting of CNC machines. The study evaluated the current state of changeover times for selected CNC machines and proposed a reduction in changeover times for the machine park analysed. By introducing changes to the changeover process on selected CNC machines, it was possible to minimise the changeover time by more than 20% on all the machines analysed. The proposed reorganisation of the CNC operators’ workstations resulted in a time reduction of approximately 61% for machine 1, 52% for machine 2 and 12% for machine 3. The installation of barcode readers on the profiles, on the other hand, made it possible to load the machining programmes into the CNC machines more quickly and resulted in a reduction in loading time of approximately 88% on average for each of the machines analysed.
