nowadays, customers ask for high quality products with less cost. so, the organizations such as iran transfo rey are looking for a solution to survive longer. implementation of lean production can lead the company to its target. the main goal of this research is evaluating the readiness of iran transfo rey co. for performing the lean production system through dimensional analysis model. in this...

Agent based modeling and simulation consider the behavior of agents acting in a system. The agents' interactions result in changing the agent’s behavior, the whole agent based system, and its environment. In this study, the manufacturing, sale, and receiving orders behaviors pertinent to manufacturing and sale agents acting across a pharmaceutical supply chain of an Iranian manufacturing medici...

What is efficiency? And is it sustainable? Animal production and consumption reconsidered.

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...

Satisfying the requirements associated with environmental concerns and resource efficiency in manufacturing process has become necessary to realize effective production management. Specifically, manufacturers must identify novel working procedures or methodologies enhance friendliness of processes. Green-lean a circular economy are promising schemes achieve this goal. However, compared green-le...

Despite the increased amount of attention to developing lean and green supply chains, there is a lack of comprehensive frameworks and a shortage of information on how to integrate environmental initiatives and lean techniques into supply chain functions. This has mainly occurred as a result of four challenges: conceptual, technical, operational, and measurement. To face these challenges, a prac...

A small furniture production company has integrated lean tools and sustainability concepts with discrete event simulation modeling and analysis as well as mathematical optimization to make a positive impact on the environment, society and its own financial success. The principles of lean manufacturing that aid in the elimination of waste have helped the company meet ever increasing customer dem...
