Abstract

Today business enterprises have enormous competition in terms of brand, value, sustainability, efficiency and price. Companies also take advantage by reducing the cost incurred in manufacturing without degrading the quality or reducing the price of the product. It introduces lean to green management in Supply Chain Management (SCM). The above approach eliminates waste products and reduces unwanted resources. Moreover, this also helps in corporate branding of going green, because everyone is becoming environment conscious and everyone like to buy from industries which practices lean and green thinking. The idea of lean SCM refers to the elimination of waste and reducing non-valuable activities associated with spare time, labor, equipment, space and inventory. The key is to identify non-adding value items and eliminate these to reduce cost. There are few items for which clients are not willing to pay. The green paradigm raises the efforts to minimize the negative effect of firms and industries on environment. It includes climatic changes, pollution and non-renewable resources. The green approach requires working with dealers and clients to improve efficiency and sustainability for lean and green environment. The objective of this research is to analyse and examine relation between lean and green Supply Chain strategies. This chapter aims to analyse the role and impact of Push and Pull system in Lean Green and Sustainable Supply Chain Management. The chapter further focuses on the methods to implement the same in Industry.
