Understanding the key performance parameters of green lean performance in manufacturing industries

Abstract The estimation and monitoring of key performance parameters of Green Lean in the manufacturing sector have recently attracted considerable attention. Performance measurement is an essential practice for measuring manufacturing industries’ competitiveness. In this era of global competitiveness and customer expectations, manufacturing firms face various challenges. To solve these challenges, researchers in the academic and manufacturing world have observed a keen interest in green lean manufacturing practices. The concept of lean manufacturing was developed to maximize the use of resources and minimize waste at all manufacturing activities. On the other hand, Green concept in manufacturing sector relates to the environmental and social concerns. The manufacturing firms strive to find and improve output performance by using key performance parameters to find the possibilities in Green-lean concepts in the manufacturing sector. The purpose of this study is to identify and examine the various key performance parameters (KPPs) of Green-Lean practices in manufacturing industries. Future research will focus on ranking these KPPs of green lean manufacturing using appropriate Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) technique.
