Description
Lean Supply Chain Management or Lean Logistics comprises the design of logistics systems with the primary goal of avoiding waste of resources. To achieve this goal the philosophy and aims of lean production are transferred to logistic processes. This can be described as a way to recognize and eliminate wasteful activities from the supply chain in order to increase product flow and speed - always with the main focus on achieving the overall optimum in logistics systems.
Green Supply Chain Management consists of integrating environmental aspects into all phases of supply chain management: material sourcing, product design and construction, material sourcing strategies, manufacturing processes, delivery, reverse logistics and end-of-life management. In this book we take a wider meaning of the term. Aside from the aspects mentioned, all of which belong to the ecological dimension of sustainability, we also consider the other two dimensions of sustainability - the social and economic dimensions.
This book includes nine different articles in which the authors illustrate different topics concerned with Lean - Green - Supply Chain Management that are currently relevant to scientific research and industry. These topics range from sustainable warehouse management, Lean Six Sigma as a contribution to sustainable production systems, sustainability of wind power plant supply chains, a comprehensive classification of urban transshipment facilities to the challenges of humanitarian aid logistics.
