Abstract

Trends in modern business management are increasingly pointing toward environmental practices that aim to reduce the impact on the environment and to achieve sustainability. Research in this area has sought to improve the tools and techniques traditionally used to improve operational performance to additionally consider the environmental impact of manufacturing. Green Lean, Environmental Management Systems and Life Cycle Assessment are examples of what manufacturing businesses are using to address the issue. However, a research project conducted by the authors has found that it requires more than just tools and techniques to transform traditional manufacturing into sustainable manufacturing, and a strategic approach is required to align the efforts of environmental and production management. To this end, a framework to integrate life cycle assessment and Lean Six Sigma is proposed. This framework has been developed based on data from questionnaires and interviews in UK manufacturing industry. The aim of this paper is to provide a description of how this framework can be implemented.
