Abstract

Sustainable lean green manufacturing research is the primary emphasis of this study (SLGM). Manufacturing Organizations can benefit from a combination of lean practices and environmental practices, according to this paper. Despite countless studies, there is no definitive definition of lean and green. In terms of social, economic, and environmental concerns, studies have linked lean manufacturing to green manufacturing. A review of previous research is undertaken in this study to assess the manufacturing industry's shortcomings. Research papers from well-known databases were analyzed to identify the gaps in sustainable lean and green manufacturing practices. After a thorough analysis, it is recommended that sustainable lean and green manufacturing be further developed. Reduced implementation gaps for lean and green manufacturing will increase industrial sustainability. The essay also discusses lean and green manufacturing, as well as lean waste, lean processes, and lean green implementation. Finally, the research closes with a literature survey in order to better understand the present state of lean manufacturing and its varied approaches.
