Can Green Be Lean

Is Lean Necessarily Green?

In this paper, we investigate the environmental performance of lean supply chains using carbon dioxide emissions as the key performance indicator. Lean is based on the premise that compressing time reveals hidden quality problems and that their resolution leads to more efficient, cost-effective business processes. If time compression always implies lower emissions, then a leaner system is alway...

Datacenter Modeling and Simulation with Focus on Energy Efficiency and Green Energy Integration

Improving energy efficiency of datacenters and studies of green energy integration into the datacenters are important research problems. Recent studies include design of power management mechanisms, scheduling policies, and efficient cooling methods. However, deploying a new policy in a datacenter and verifying its effects is time consuming and often infeasible. Therefore, it is important to ef...
