Abstract

This research addresses the development of green environment through lean principles in an Indian garment export industry. Garment industries are thought to have a collective impact on environmental issues, they lack behind in larger area in terms of environmental activeness and performance. To meet with the challenges of business Environment Company strive to rearrange their production by implementing Lean and green environment. In specific, this research addresses the development of green and Lean in a garment industry. The objective is to explore the link between the Lean and green performance relationship and by evolving and testing various strategies to eliminate waste. This paper briefly describes the application of 5s, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED). Existing state of VSM were efficiently constructed in future state VSM to improve the production process by identifying waste and its causes. This also describes how environmental performances are improved by eliminating the wastes. Adoption of lean has lowered the marginal cost of pollution reduction. It is made clear that lean is associated with greater source reduction (pollution prevention). Finally we say that lean is associated with lower emissions. We conclude that more on establishment engages in lean, the lower will be its emissions, in other words; Lean is green.
