Lean Management wird heutzutage von vielen Unternehmen in verschiedensten Sektoren angewendet und entwickelt sich stetig weiter. Doch neben wirtschaftlichen Aspekten gewinnt das Thema Nachhaltigkeit immer mehr an Relevanz. Durch den wachsenden Druck der Gesellschaft und der Regierungen, sind Unternehmen mehr und mehr dazu geneigt, Nachhaltigkeit in das Management zu integrieren. So entstand der Bedarf für Green Management.
In dieser Arbeit wird die Beziehung zwischen Lean Management und Green Management analysiert und überprüft, ob beide Konzepte in einem Unternehmen gleichzeitig angewendet werden können. Dazu werden zunächst die theoretischen Grundlagen der beiden Managementsysteme durch die Analyse verschiedener Fachliteratur erörtert. Anschließend wird auf Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede hinsichtlich ihrer Ursprünge, Fokusse, Prinzipien und Methoden, sowie die Rolle der Führungsebene, Mitarbeiter und Lieferanten untersucht. Des Weiteren werden anhand des Unternehmens BMW besagte Aspekte der beiden Konzepte hinsichtlich ihrer praktischen Vereinbarkeit analysiert. Obwohl Unterschiede in verschiedenen Bereichen festgestellt werden können, zeigt sich, dass BMW die Umsetzung beider Managementsysteme gelingt. Das lässt sich durch die gleiche Gewichtung der Kundenorientierung des Lean Managements und der Umweltorientierung des Green Managements begründen.
The effective, long-term management of natural resource wealth represents a big challenge for extractive countries like the Republic of Chile. The blessing of commodity abundance is accompanied by a phenomenon referred to as the resource curse. The implied limited economic growth and the general tendency towards opaque, exclusive and corrupt dynamics present in the extractive business foster the necessity for a strong transparency framework.
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) has dedicated its efforts to this problem and has established an international standard for data availability and civil society participation along the extractive value chain. Analyzing the effectiveness and suitability of this approach for the achievement of greater transparency in the Chilean mineral resource management, it will be found that the EITI represents the appropriate basis for enhancing commodity governance. However, it will turn out that Chile’s individual motivation and consistency are vital for the initiative’s success.
This thesis provides a general assessment of the subject. Further research would be required in order to provide a precise evaluation.
Innovative and successful food waste management solutions often happened to have either an economic, ecological, or social positive impact. There are different types of food waste that are wasted at different stages of the supply chain and sustainable management treat this issue in its entirety.
A resource-efficiency handling of food creates and saves value in the food industry, helps reduce climate change and brings food security. Quantitative evidence from financial and nonfinancial benefits from business cases of countries such as the United Kingdom, proved that avoiding food wasting build a win-win situation for companies and consumers. Processes will be exposed to accelerate the implementation of food waste reduction policies at every stage of the supply chain and at every organization level.
This paper is aimed to measure the global degree of food waste and loss with trustworthy instruments and to provide a range of the most efficient and adapted ways to prevent it.
Some focus will be made in certain parts of the world because of the data’s availability and reliability. It also interests us to know what percentage of waste occurs, at which stage of the supply chain, what are the current existing solutions to avoid food waste and
loss and how is sustainable management playing the most efficient role.
Food wasting will be distinguished into two categories: organizations of entities (as countries, governments, cities, and companies) and individuals. Providing guidelines to be able to manage a sustainable production up till consumption will be the core concern of this paper.
