Purpose

In response to mounting global concerns about climate change and scarcity of natural resources, manufacturers have been pressured to develop strategies and enhance their sustainability performance. The integration of sustainable lean manufacturing (SLM) during value chain processes could balance environmental, social and economic concerns into their decision-making, which not only ensures responsible practices but also drives efficiency and success. This paper aims to identify, measure and prioritize metrics to develop a performance measurement system that assesses the multi-dimensional performance of SLM.

Design/methodology/approach

Strategic decision-making has some conflicting criteria and objectives to be considered simultaneously. The Multi-Criteria Decision Making provides a foundation for selecting, sorting and prioritizing these strategies with the determination of drivers and indicator weight.

Findings

The performance model enables the decision-makers to consistently evaluate the level of sustainability through a multidimensional framework, which could support the assessment of the existing sustainability of a manufacturing process and analyze opportunities for improvement. This study divided the performance into five drivers: Quality, Operational, Finance, Environment, Safety and People and selected 17 KPIs for assessing the multi-dimensional performance of SLM organizations. The research results revealed an organization's perspective transition from strategies focused on operational and economic performance to a more sustainable ideal with greater importance for social and environmental directions.

Originality/value

This framework will be facilitated by the selection of the most significant drivers and the development of strategic plans for the successful adoption of sustainable manufacturing. The practices support implementation, pursue competitive advantages and sustain manufacturing, meeting strategic requirements of suitable and lean performance. With the limited resources of the organizations, the framework proposed will guide the priorities and actions to be taken toward the SLM.

可持续精益制造作为长期战略：绩效框架开发和优先顺序

目的

为了应对全球对气候变化和自然资源稀缺日益严重的担忧，制造商被迫制定战略并提高其可持续发展绩效。在价值链流程中整合可持续精益制造 (SLM) 可以在决策过程中平衡环境、社会和经济问题，这不仅确保负责任的实践，还能提高效率和成功。本文旨在识别、衡量指标并确定其优先级，以开发一个评估 SLM 多维绩效的绩效衡量系统。

设计/方法论/途径

战略决策有一些相互冲突的标准和目标需要同时考虑。多标准决策为通过确定驱动因素和指标权重来选择、排序和优先考虑这些策略提供了基础。

发现

绩效模型使决策者能够通过多维框架一致地评估可持续性水平，这可以支持评估制造过程的现有可持续性并分析改进机会。本研究将绩效分为质量、运营、财务、环境、安全和人员五个驱动因素，并选择了 17 个 KPI 来评估 SLM 组织的多维度绩效。研究结果揭示了组织的视角从关注运营和经济绩效的战略转变为更加重视社会和环境方向的更可持续的理想。

原创性/价值

该框架将通过选择最重要的驱动因素和制定成功采用可持续制造的战略计划来促进。这些实践支持实施、追求竞争优势和维持制造，满足适当和精益绩效的战略要求。由于各组织的资源有限，拟议的框架将指导可持续土地管理的优先事项和采取的行动。
