Abstract

Opportunities and difficulties of sustainable value stream mapping (Sus-VSM) application in a small enterprise were explored as part of the greening production plan. It was noticed a lack in understanding social and environmental sustainability, even in management levels. The flexibility of small companies was noted as a driver to Sus-VSM application.
