By including sustainability as dimension be taken account, it expected develop create awareness consume less. Today there growing concern sustainability, shown increase number research projects related issue. chapter aims highlight these developed developing light methodology. These were analyzed discussed illustrate though do not directly address Lean, allied could enable their production system processes. embedded synergy between also entitled Lean-Green. doing this, road achieve development goals, directly, goal 12, responsible consumption production.
