Lean principles adoption in environmental management system (EMS) - ISO 14001
Abstract: The purpose of this
study is to examine the characteristic of the lean principles into ISO 14001
and to propose linkage of the lean principles and ISO 14001.
Design/methodology/approach: To achieve the objective of the study,
literature survey and quantitative research method using questionnaires survey
are used.
Findings and Originality/value: The findings of this study confirm that
ISO 14001 certified company adopted lean production practices. The study also proves that lean principles
have positive and significant relationship with ISO 14001 EMS and the linkage
can be made between lean principles and ISO 14001 to achieve Continual
Improvement.
Research limitations/implications: The small sizes of the sample of the
participating companies are the main limitations of this study and this
research mainly focuses on the manufacturing environment and services industry.
Practical implications: This research show that all ISO 14001 companies
do adopt at least one lean production practices and the main findings are lean
principles has positive and highly significant relationship with ISO 14001
requirements. This is because the integration
of lean principles into ISO 14001 will serve practical methods for ISO14001 EMS
to achieve the continual improvement.
Originality/value: This research is amongst the first to study the
combined lean principles with ISO 1400.
Based on the current situation, there is no integration within this two
management system.
