Lean and the Environment

The EPA has allot to say on Lean and the Environment.

Here are a few highlights from their "The Lean and Environment Toolkit."

• "Business Case for Integrating Lean & Environment."


• "The table below lists environmental impacts that are associated with the deadly wastes targeted by Lean methods...."


• "10 Common Manufacturing Processes With Environmental Opportunities"


• Integrating Root Cause for Environmental Waste in your Value Stream Mapping Efforts.


• How to "Incorporate EHS into 6S Inspections."

This looks like a gold mine of material, and starts with simple, meaningful steps.
I'll be sorting and blogging through it over the next few weeks.
