The impact of lean manufacturing practices on firms ’ sustainable performance of the manufacturing industry sector

Abstract

The long-term production of high value in the industrial sector is crucial to sustainability. Therefore, it is important to better understand how businesses will enhance the production of sustainable wealth. Recently, lean methods have been implemented in production systems in order to improve better efficiency. However, we must regularly assess the effect of these lean activities on the stable quality of the manufacturing sector. In order to achieve this, we undertook an extensive review to chart work on the partnership between lean and sustainable production sector results. Researchers examined this partnership from different perspectives and have taken a clear look at whether lean development methods are beneficial or detrimental to the competitive sustainable output of businesses. Most authors often claim that the interactions were contingent-based. This study suggests a new viewpoint on how to assess sustainable quality in a competitive manner across lean manufacturing practices and companies. It is appropriate that this partnership relies on the handling of lean paradoxical conflicts among manufacturing companies.
