Sustainable setup stream mapping (3SM): a systematic approach to lean sustainable manufacturing

Ahmad Ebrahimi et al.

Summary: This paper presents a stepwise method called sustainable-setup-stream-mapping (3SM) for improving manufacturing setup time and sustainability impacts. The method utilizes value stream mapping and Single-Minute Exchange of Die techniques to break down setup operations and improve them. It also provides criteria for assessing the environmental, social, and economic sustainability impacts of the setup process. The research demonstrates the practicality of 3SM and its effectiveness in reducing setup times and enhancing sustainability criteria.

Circular economy to ensure production operational sustainability: A green-lean approach

Ming K. Lim et al.

Summary: Integrating green-lean solutions with the concept of circular economy in production operations has been proposed to enhance environmental and resource performance. This study presents a method that incorporates green-lean principles and circular economy concepts in three phases, providing managers with opportunities for improvement and directions for enhancement. The effectiveness and practicality of this method are demonstrated through a case study in an automobile assembly workshop. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of green-lean and circular economy concepts and showcases the implementation of a circular economy in manufacturing enterprises.

Connecting lean and green with sustainability towards a conceptual model

P. Teixeira et al.

Summary: The study focused on the connection between lean, green, and sustainability concepts, proposing a conceptual model consisting of lean-green and sustainability (LGS) tools to enhance triple bottom line (TBL) performance. It found that in most cases, the application of LGS tools had a positive impact on the economic and environmental pillars of the targeted companies, although there were instances where increased efficiency led to higher energy and water consumption.
