The majority of studies usually discuss eithera system or a subcomponent of the production systems andmanufacturing strategies in literature w.r.t. lean production;but the rational (what, why, how) behind each productionactivity seems to be missing. This paper addresses acomprehensive assessment of the literature on lean productionin relation to the green concept, for its significance, feasibilityand need for organizations to sustain in the global market.Findings of the review reveal that lean principles along withgreen model can improve the process flow & employee moraleand lower the environmental regulatory non-compliance risk.Further, the environmental and human health risks are oftennot explicitly considered in lean initiatives that can affectcustomers & stakeholders throughout the product life cycle,and the manufacturing enterprises working with lean strategieshave the possibility of costs sub-optimization and wastereduction from a lifecycle viewpoint.
