Lean and the environment
Originating from the Toyota Production System, the lean production philosophy is developed as a way of thinking which advocates reducing or eliminating non-value adding activities as well as improving the efficiency of value adding ones at the same time. The lean philosophy can be considered as a new way to design and make things that are differentiated from mass and craft forms of production through the objectives and techniques applied on the shop floor, in design and along supply chains (Howell, 1999). There are many interpretations about the core of the lean production philosophy. Koskela (1992) concluded eleven important principles which are essential to the lean philosophy, such as reducing waste, variability, cycle and increase transparency. Womack and Jones (1996) identified five principles about lean thinking and lean production, including specifying value, identifying the value stream, etc.
