The Harmonious Strategy of Lean and Green Production: Future Opportunities to Achieve Sustainable Productivity and Quality

The objective of this study is to explore and discover previous work researching the links and integration between lean production and green production in manufacturing processes. Number of papers were reviewed based on comprehensive literature assessment to develop understanding of lean and green harmonious synergy. The theoretical frameworks of them are described with structured according to the disciplines, trends and opportunities, focused drivers and parameters, applied technique/approached, and summarized findings. The outcome of this paper is a conceptual model of eco-socio-lean production, in the form of input-process-output framework that supported by green-lean business objectives, resources, production process, improvement techniques, and output measurements. The model shows that by synergizing lean production principles and technique with green production practice simultaneously will impact to future organization's sustainable productivity and quality. The results of this study are expected to make a significant contribution to the world of practical and knowledge of manufacturing systems.
