“Draft:Lean & Green Management”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Lean Management is a holistic management philosophy with the aim of continuously optimizing costs, quality and deliverability. The goal is to optimally coordinate all activities that are necessary for the value creation and to avoid unnecessary activities (waste, Japanese "muda"). Lean & Green is a further development of the Lean Management approach and in addition to increasing competitiveness aims to continuously improve the environmental performance of companies. ^[3]

Background

Growth and continuous improvement have always been the goal of companies. In addition to the economic figures, social and ecological factors are increasingly coming into the focus of customers, the public and investors. The drivers of these developments are political framework legislation and initiatives, increasingly conscious consumers, scarcity of raw materials or cost pressure. The design of resource-efficient (production) processes thus develops into one of the critical success factors for companies.^[4]

Lean & Green concepts therefore pursue the goal of combining Lean Management strategically, operationally and organisationally with the topic of environmental protection and resource efficiency, thereby creating a basis for promoting ecological topics as part of the continuous improvement process. Optimizing processes and minimizing waste is not only a means of increasing corporate success for Lean & Green concepts, but also improves the company's environmental and social impact, which in turn brings overall societal benefits.^[5]

Methodical connection

The proximity of classic Lean approaches to environmental and resource efficiency issues is due to the common focus on waste. The aim of Lean Management is to avoid or minimize wasting (ie non-value-adding activities). This leads to more efficient processes and thus to less use of resources. Crucial to achieving sustainability goals (Green Management) is the use of resources in all concepts. The key question is how these are best used to support sustainable development. Lean & Green thus reveals two sides of a coin that influence each other and have a direct impact on the company's resource efficiency. A particularly “Lean” company is at the same time more resource efficient and thus Green. ^[6]

Linkage in Management Systems

Lean Management is referred to as a corporate philosophy and is not just a toolkit of optimization tools. Mostly, Lean Management is the foundation of holistic management systems in companies. Such Lean Management systems provide a broader foundation for making processes leaner and more sustainable.^[7] The aim of Lean & Green approaches is to extend these systems with ecological principles (such as zero-emission or circular economy). This allows the principles and practices to be integrated holistically and the philosophy of continuous improvement is deeply rooted in the organization and workforce. As a result, Lean & Green will become part of the corporate culture and will help to strengthen participation and the willingness to change. In addition, production and management systems provide guidelines that help support the long-term focus of the company and make strategic objectives operational. ^[8]

Lean & Green in the Supply Chain

The integration and development of suppliers and partners play a major role for Lean Management. Active supplier development and partnership-based exchange help to harmonize processes and to implement continuous and mutual improvements. In Lean & Green concepts, it is important to improve not only classic Lean approaches but also ecological principles along the value chain. Lean & Green approaches help create both economic and environmental value, making it easier for companies to make their own supply chains more sustainable. Especially in this area there are crucial levers to improve the ecological and social performance of the own company.^[9]

Lean & Green Awards

Lean & Green Management Award

The "Lean & Green Management Award" honors particularly successful approaches in the area of Lean Management and resource efficiency since 2012 and has set itself the task of making the results accessible to interested companies in order to stimulate a Best-Practice exchange between companies and industries. The focus is on the question of how to reduce all types of waste in a company. The Award is being carried out as part of a cooperation between the industry journal "Automobil Industrie" and the consulting companies "Growtth® Consulting Europe" and "Quadriga Consult". The Lean & Green Management Award is given on an international level and adresses companies in all manufacturing sectors whose participating production site employs at least 100 people. ^[10]

Lean and Green Award Logistik

The objective of the Lean and Green Logistics Award is to certify participating companies for their success in reducing their carbon footprint in warehousing and logistics processes. It is up to the companies what the specific measures for reducing CO₂ emissions are. The Award was initiated by the Dutch logistics company "Connekt". In Germany, "GS1 Germany" certifies companies that want to save CO₂ in their logistics. If successful, the company will receive the Lean and Green Award and in future will be able to use the logo and marketing materials of Lean and Green. ^[11]
