Lean manufacturing and environmental performance: a meta-analytic approach

This study examines the relationship between lean manufacturing and corporate environmental performance, addressing mixed empirical findings in existing literature. It performs a meta-analysis of 29 studies from 2001 to 2022, utilizing the Hedges–Olkin random effect approach to analyze correlations....

It performs a meta-analysis of 29 studies from 2001 to 2022, utilizing the Hedges–Olkin random effect approach to analyze correlations. The findings suggest a significant positive relationship (r¯ = 0.25) between lean manufacturing and environmental performance, with external lean practices showing higher efficiency than internal ones. The impact remains consistent regardless of a country's environmental awareness, while quality management notably influences internal lean practices. Practical implications of this study include enabling companies to align operational strategies with environmental sustainability goals by understanding the varied correlation of lean practices with environmental performance. Decision-makers can prioritize effective lean practices to enhance environmental impact while also recognizing less effective ones to avoid overestimating benefits. The findings highlight the need for organizational commitment to sustainability. This research is the first meta-analysis exploring lean manufacturing's association with environmental performance and contributes valuable insights to the literature while examining moderating factors affecting outcomes.This study was funded by the Basque Autonomous Government (Research Group GIC 1679-22).Peer ReviewedObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::3 - Salut i BenestarObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::3 - Salut i Benestar::3.9 - Per a 2030, reduir substancialment el nombre de morts i malalties causats per productes químics perillosos i la pol·lució de l’aire, l’aigua i el sòlObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::9 - Indústria, Innovació i InfraestructuraObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::9 - Indústria, Innovació i Infraestructura::9.2 - Promoure una industrialització inclusiva i sostenible i, a tot tardar el 2030, augmentar de manera significativa la contribució de la indústria a l’ocupació i al producte interior brut, d’acord amb les circumstàncies nacionals, i duplicar aquesta contribució als països menys avançatsObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::9 - Indústria, Innovació i Infraestructura::9.4 - Per a 2030, modernitzar les infraestructures i reconvertir les indústries perquè siguin sostenibles, usant els recursos amb més eficàcia i promovent l’adopció de tecnologies i processos industrials nets i racionals ambiental­ment, i aconseguint que tots els països adoptin mesures d’acord amb les capacitats respectives20242024-08-1420252025-01-15journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501AMhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_ab4af688f83e57aainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/421953https://dx.doi.org/10.1108/IJLSS-11-2023-0190reponame:UPCommons.
