Abstract

There has been a paradigm shift in the manufacturing systems. Lean manufacturing is a manufacturing system that is focused on the elimination of wastes thereby facilitating process streamlining and waste reduction. In the recent days, the need for environmental consciousness is very much realized. The environmental waste is regarded as the ninth waste. This article focuses on the exploration of various issues of sustainability using lean initiatives. Also, some of the strategies/techniques that would enable the achievement of sustainability objectives using lean initiatives are presented.
