Abstract
ABSTRACT To be competitive, organizations are aiming to achieve operational and environmental performance through the combined adoption of lean and green practices. The literature indicates the positive impact of both paradigms on a firm overall performance. In this study, an analytical network process method and lean-green index were proposed to investigate the impact of lean-green practices on organization performance. The environmental management system is identified as the most significant green practice, while 5S is the most important lean practice. Visual management systems and standard minute value are the most critical practices of leanness. The dynamic sensitivity analysis was performed to check the robustness of the results. The findings might be useful for industrial practitioners and policymakers to strengthen the organization through the assessment and implementation of lean-green practices.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management (IJMSEM) is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal that provides an international forum for researchers and practitioners of management science and engineering management. The journal focuses on identifying problems in the field, and using innovative management theories and new management methods to provide solutions. IJMSEM is committed to providing a platform for researchers and practitioners of management science and engineering management to share experiences and communicate ideas. Articles published in IJMSEM contain fresh information and approaches. They provide key information that will contribute to new scientific inquiries and improve competency, efficiency, and productivity in the field. IJMSEM focuses on the following: 1. identifying Management Science problems in engineering; 2. using management theory and methods to solve above problems innovatively and effectively; 3. developing new management theory and method to the newly emerged management issues in engineering; IJMSEM prefers papers with practical background, clear problem description, understandable physical and mathematical model, physical model with practical significance and theoretical framework, operable algorithm and successful practical applications. IJMSEM also takes into account management papers of original contributions in one or several aspects of these elements.
