Lean and Green
Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste - traditionally related to time, motion, and inventory. Recently, EPA has teamed up with lean service providers at the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership to promote the co-benefits of combining environmental thinking into lean practices through the Green Suppliers Network (GSN). Georgia Tech and P2AD have teamed up to conduct a series of GSN reviews at manufacturing facilities in Georgia.
