Abstract

Lean and green manufacturing is used in firms to achieve better financial, operational and environmental performance. Many researchers concentrated on the integration of these two paradigms in firms. Still, limited researchers have tried to investigate the barriers for firms which creates hindrance in the way of implementation of lean-green. This research is an attempt to identify and analyse the barriers for lean and green manufacturing, also to analyse the relationship among barriers and their effects on the implementation process. A hierarchical structure model has developed with the help of ISM (Interpretive Structural Modelling) and the strength of relationship among barriers have analysed with the help of MICMAC analysis. A nine-level ISM model for barriers has developed which shows ‘Market competition and uncertainty’ at the top position and other barriers such as ‘Lack of government support to integrate green practices’, ‘Lack of environmental awareness’ and ‘Governmental environmental laws and regulations and deficient enforcement’ are at the bottom position of the model.
