Overview
This book presents hybrid value stream mapping tools for developing Lean and green supply chains. The tools incorporate green and Lean concepts that can assist supply chain decision makers to simultaneously minimize wastes, costs, environmental damage, and energy and material usage In addition, it provides a new integrated approach for evaluating supply chain performance from both green and Lean perspectives. As supply chain stakeholders increasingly become aware of the need to simultaneously address economic, environmental, and energy usage issues, it is essential to formulate performance objectives based on these issues. To achieve these objectives, the book provides tools and techniques for value stream mapping the supply chain. Suggested tools, such as green lean process mapping, quality filter mapping, energy value stream mapping, and supply chain response matrix can assist supply chain decision makers to simultaneously achieve green and Lean objectives centered on minimizing wastes, costs, environmental damage, as well as energy and material usage.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I presents recent concepts of green and Lean paradigms, as well as green Lean performance in supply chain systems. Part II presents parallel and integrated green Lean models, based on the triple bottom line (also known as the 3E bottom line) perspective, covering aspects related to the economy, the environment, and energy and material usage. Part III presents and explains a range of tools and techniques, where Leanness and greenness are emphasized from a common view point. A compendium of Lean green value stream mapping tools are presented and illustrated using succinct procedures, flowcharts and examples.
