lean green integration focused on Waste Reduction techniques
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016Co-Authors: Alain Fercoq, Samir Lamouri, Valentina CarboneAbstract:Abstract In a context in which companies aim to optimize their social and environmental responsibility, they can adopt and combine Lean and Green strategies. This paper offers a quantitative study of Lean/Green integration focused on Waste Reduction techniques in manufacturing processes. The literature confirms the convergence of the concepts of Lean Manufacturing and Green Management. Specifically, Waste Reduction Techniques are considered one of the main areas of the overlap between the Lean and Green paradigms. This offers interesting possibilities for future research on the development of quantitative studies on Waste Reduction Techniques, especially for a solid Waste minimization program in manufacturing. Using the Design of Experiments tool, the present study measures the influence of different methods, derived from both the Lean and Green approaches, on solid Waste management performance. Based on these results, a hierarchy of progress factors for a Waste minimization program in manufacturing is outlined: the 3R Hierarchy must be preferred to a deadly Waste ( muda ) analysis and combining the 3R Hierarchy and the deadly Wastes of Lean Management improves the performance of a Waste minimization program in manufacturing. In addition, the use of a Lean/Green matrix —a check-list that integrates Lean and Green best practices— was shown to consistently increase the performance of a Waste minimization plan and as a result, the impact on the Waste Reduction can be doubled. This work is of interest to practitioners because they can build upon this experience to implement a Waste Reduction program using a set of tools to monitor and measure the program's achievements, which can ultimately lead to balanced performance improvement in terms of environmental, social and economic dimensions.

identifying the key personnel in a nurse initiated hospital Waste Reduction program
Nursing administration quarterly, 2010Co-Authors: Ruth Mcdermottlevy, Carol FazziniAbstract:: Hospitals in the United States generate more than 6600 tons of trash a day and approximately 85% of the Waste is nonhazardous solid Waste such as food, cardboard, and plastic. Treatment and management of hospital Waste can lead to environmental problems for the communities that receive the Waste. One health system's shared governance model provided the foundation to develop a nurse-led hospital Waste Reduction program that focused on point-of-care Waste management. Waste Reduction program development required working with a variety of departments within and external to the health system. The interdisciplinary approach informed the development of the Waste Reduction program. This article identifies the key departments that were necessary to include when developing a hospital Waste Reduction program.

water conservation and Waste Reduction management for increasing guest loyalty and green hotel practices
International Journal of Hospitality Management, 2018Co-Authors: Heesup Han, Jinsoo Lee, Ho Le Thu Trang, Wansoo KimAbstract:Abstract This study tested the role of guests’ perceptions regarding hotel practices of water conservation and Waste Reduction management in increasing hedonic and utilitarian values, and examined the influence of such relationships on guest participation intention in green practices and loyalty intention by considering the moderating effect of environmental concern in the green hotel context. A field survey with a convenience sampling approach was conducted in Vietnam. A total of 289 responses were used for data analysis. The results of this research revealed that hotel practices of water conservation and Waste Reduction management significantly increased values and pro-environmental intentions, and both hedonic and utilitarian values of green hotel stay acted as mediators. Additionally, environmental concern played a significant moderating role. Overall, we successfully developed a theoretical framework explicating the clear role of the hotel practices of water conservation and Waste Reduction managements, values, and eco-concern in building guest pro-environmental intentions.

investigating Waste Reduction potential in the upstream processes of offshore prefabrication construction
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2013Co-Authors: Hongping YuaAbstract:The construction industry around the globe has been increasingly advocated to utilize prefabrication to minimize Waste, thereby alleviating associated negative impacts on environment and the society. Previous studies have reported on Waste Reduction potential from adopting prefabrication in various economies including Hong Kong. A significant shortcoming of these studies; however, is the neglect of the upstream processes of prefabrication including the manufacturing and transportation of components, which causes construction Waste as well. To date it is still unclear how this portion of construction Waste is generated and quantified. The issues are even more complicated in Hong Kong where components are manufactured in the offshore Pearl River Delta Region (PRDR) of mainland China and transported across the border to construction sites in Hong Kong. Against the theoretical backdrop of whole life cycle thinking, the aim of this study is to empirically investigate the manufacture and cross-border transportation processes, thereby to assess the Waste Reduction potentials of using prefabrication in construction. It does so by conducting three in-depth case studies with selected PRDR prefabrication factories. A hybrid of research methods are employed in the study. It is found that the Waste generation rate in the upstream processes of offshore prefabrication is around 2% or lower by weight. This proves the orthodox that prefabrication in a factory environment is more conducive to Waste Reduction than the traditional cast in-situ construction manner. However, transporting the components adds cost and simultaneously increases the risk of Waste generation. This study provides insights into understanding construction Waste Reduction through offshore prefabrication from a holistic view.
