Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The incorporation of sustainability and the shift to Sustainable Supply Chains has forced companies to rethink their entire business and simultaneously, improve their environmental performance and efficiency. Lean paradigm has often been associated with Green practices/strategies since both have similar goals. However, the junction of Lean and the Green paradigm is still a recent topic and due to that, it is not yet clear how the Lean paradigm can contribute to an organization’s environmental sustainability. This thesis has the objective of performing a literature review of how the implementation of Lean strategies can contribute to an environmentally sustainable business and, how can these strategies be combined with Green practices to make a company’s supply chain sustainable. This thesis also includes an analysis of Lean and Green paradigms and of their practices and techniques. After this analysis, the objective of the investigation is to identify which are the main differences between the Lean and Green paradigm so that, later, it is possible to identify the synergies between the two concepts in order to be able to define a strategy that encompasses both Lean and Green paradigms with the goal of achieve a Sustainable Supply Chain.
