Lean manufacturing means manufacturing without waste. Anything else which are not adding any value to the product are considered as waste as per lean concept. Inventories of raw materials, work in process inventories, inventories of finished product, overproduction, waiting of equipment ,waiting of human resources, space occupied by unused equipment and materials, excess used of materials etc. are the waste as per lean concept. Green manufacturing means manufacturing means manufacturing without pollution and optimum use of natural resources. Hence if lean manufacturing concept are adopted by any industry, they automatically moves towards green manufacturing also and vice verse. Thus it is said that manufacturers can be green and highly profitable at the same time. Profits do not have to be sacrificed to environmental responsibility, or vice verse. The two strategies (lean and green) can be integrated and offered simultaneously that will reduce environmental pollution, optimum utilization of resources and improvement in productivity. While Lean Manufacturing (LM) focuses on minimization of wastes,Green Manufacturing (GM) emphasizes on achieving zero emissions. Little is known about the linkage between these two initiatives and their integration. Furthermore, it is also not clear whether these two initiatives can coexist in the same organization or not. Even without explicitly targeting environmental outcomes, lean efforts can yield substantial environmental benefits. However, because environmental wastes and pollution are not the primary focal points, these gains may not be maximized in the normal scheme of lean. The two strategies can be integrated and offered simultaneously. The approaches have similarities, in that they strive to eliminate non value-added components, assess baseline conditions and operations, capture the details of process inputs and outputs, and substrate to design and incorporate changes that will reduce environmental or productivity inefficiencies. As soon as your operations implement Lean you will become more capable of enabling increased capacity by freeing up underused resources
