Abstract

The philosophy of lean production is widely used around the world. It is based on the creation of a production system for client satisfaction, minimization of losses, and energy efficiency. It is in consent with the objectives, defined by the Goal 12 of the Agenda (Transforming our world: The 2030 agenda for sustainable development, 2015) for Sustainable Development: achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycles, and significantly reduce their release to air, water, and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment, and substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse. The present paper analyzes the relationship between the lean production concept and the demands of ISO 9001––Quality management, ISO 14001––Environmental management Systems, ISO 50001––Energy management, ISO 45001––Occupational health and safety, etc., standards of management, as well as their impact on the realization of the Agenda 2030 objectives. The results of analyses show that the implementation of the ISO standards in enterprises practice helps them to introduce lean production systems and move towards sustainability.
