A Model for a Green, Lean Sustainable Improvement with Performance Measurement
Source abstract
Abstract
With a turbulent market and a desire to withstand force, many companies lower the production price of their products using different approaches. On the one hand, they often use lean principles to reduce production costs, while they are compelled by the government to adopt green practices on the other. The proposed approach (model) is a combination of green, lean sustainable improvement, leading a company through the green, lean process with measurable results and optimization functions. In addition to its return on investment (ROI), a company can calculate its output (from material to emission flow) based on its input. Based on the radar chart we have produced, they can also know what they have achieved and in which direction they need to optimize to develop in as green and sustainable a way as possible. One example of a Slovenian automotive company demonstrates how the implementation of the proposed measures can effectively reduce environmental impact, while also ensuring a quick return on investment.
