Examining green production and its role within the competitive strategy of manufacturers
Abstract: This paper reviews
current literature and contributes a set of findings that capture the current
state-of-the-art of the topic of green production.
Design/methodology/approach: A literature review to capture, classify and
summarize the main body of knowledge on green production and, translate this
into a form that is readily accessible to researchers and practitioners in the
more mainstream operations management community.
Findings: The existing knowledge base is somewhat fragmented. This is a
relatively unexplored topic within mainstream operations management research
and one which could provide rich opportunities for further exploration.
Originality/value: This paper sets out to review current literature, from
a more conventional production operations perspective, and contributes a set of
findings that capture the current state-of-the-art of this topic.
