Lean Manufacturing & Sustainability
Sustainable manufacturing fits well within a lean manufacturing culture: Common culture: continual improvement, employee involvement, operation‐focus, metrics‐driven, supply chain investment, holistic thinking
Strong relationship between manufacturing waste and environmental impacts: defects, waiting, unnecessary processing, over‐production, movement, inventory, complexity
Powerful methods: Kaizen, Six Sigma, TPM, JIT, etc.
Integration with E/Q Management Systems

Sustainability Metrics…Parameters
Parameters over which you have control, influence
Quantify environmental impacts
Establish tolerances
Eliminate gaps
Demonstrate ROI
©NSF International, 2010
Barriers
Lean methods do not usually target sustainability metrics
Environmental personnel are often not well integrated into lean production efforts
The wealth of sustainability information is often not in the hands of lean production practitioners…Stakeholders!!!
Majority of benefits arise from design stage
Regulatory friction; regulatory uncertainty
©NSF International, 2010
Summary…
The game: reduce risks & embrace opportunities from economic, social, and environment developments.
Translate opportunities & risks to the manufacturing environment: value and externalities
Metrics, integration, performance
