Assess The Impact Of Lean Methods And Tools On The Environmental Performance Of Distribution Industries

Abstract

In recent days, lean methods have been highly used to improve the growth of the industry. Many existing research works investigated the effect of lean methods in different industries. Nevertheless, existing research works failed to investigate the effect of lean methods and tools on the environmental performance of the distribution industry. Hence, this research work investigates the effect of lean methods and tools on the environmental performance of the distribution industry. The research work selects the lean methods according to the distribution industry. Also, the study is a quantitative research study and descriptive analysis. So, the research work follows some strategies to choose the respondents. The target of the research is to focus on more number of distribution industries. In total, 287 respondents are selected with the help of publically available reports. The experimental result of the research shows that the PT, TT, FIFO, TQM, and TPM attain higher results than the other methods concerning environmental measures. The research framework contributes to a better understanding of lean practices, which help companies to develop strategic initiatives towards environmentally.
