Rajesh Kumar, Ashwini Kumar, Rajender kumar

[ABSTRACT ]

Lean Green approach is a way to reduce mud/waste by eliminating unnecessary activities. This study was done to assess the performance of lean green strategies in manufacturing industry of India. Questionnaire survey has been performed followed by application of structural equation modeling and fuzzy TOPSIS. Results indicated that companies are focused on Kaizen improvement approach (small incremental improvements) to a very high extent in terms of lean strategies and green scheduling in terms of green strategies. Five highly significant strategies are ranked based on multi-criteria- decision-making approach namely fuzzy TOPSIS. Continuous optimization of manufacturing processes is ranked to very high extent. Research and Development aspects and pollution prevention are highly improved by implementing lean green approach.
