Yalın İsraflar ve Yeşil Atıklar Arasındaki Bağlantılara Yönelik Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Günümüz işletmelerinin operasyonel kaygılarının yanında çevresel, toplumsal hedefleri yalın ve yeşil paradigmalara olan ilgiliyi artırmıştır. Yalın ve yeşilin ortak odak noktası olan atıkları (israf) konu edinen bu çalışma, yalın israf ve yeşil atıklar arasındaki bağlantıları keşfetmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Farklı disiplinlerin kapsamındaki yalın israf ve yeşil atıklara ilişkin çalışmaların dahil edilmesi/dışlanması protokolünde esnek bir yaklaşım benimsenerek yarı sistematik literatür inceleme yönteminden faydalanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre yalın israf ve yeşil atık türleri arasındaki münferit bağlantıları inceleyen yayınlar oldukça kısıtlı ve dağınıktır. Yalın israf türlerinin özellikle enerji-malzeme tüketimi, emisyon salınımı gibi yeşil atıklarla doğrudan/dolaylı bağlantılara sahip olduğu, bu bağlantıların literatürde ilgi gördüğü söylenebilmektedir. Atıklar ve aralarındaki bağlantılara ilişkin çalışmaların son yıllarda işletme performansına yönelik çalışmalara evrildiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışma ekonomik ve çevresel etkileri açısından önem taşıyan yalın israf ve yeşil atıkların eşzamanlı ortadan kaldırılmasında işletmelere içgörü sağlayabilecektir. Sanayi ve akademik alanda yalın-yeşil paradigmaların atık yaklaşımında birleştirilmesiyle yaratılabilecek sinerjiye katkı sağlayabilmek bu çalışma için önem taşımaktadır.

A Review of the Connections Between Lean Mudas and Green Wastes

Abstract

In addition to the operational concerns of today's businesses, environmental and social goals have increased the interest in lean and green paradigms. This study focuses on waste (waste), a common focal point of lean and green; it aims to discover the connections between lean and green waste. The protocol adopted a flexible approach to including/excluding studies on lean waste and green waste that were of interest to different disciplines, and a semi-systematic literature review method was used. According to the findings, publications examining individual connections between lean and green waste types are limited and scattered. Lean waste types have direct/indirect connections with green wastes, especially energy-material consumption, emission release, and these connections have attracted attention in the literature. In fact, studies on wastes and their connections have evolved into studies on business performance in recent years. This study will provide insight to businesses for eliminating lean and green waste, which is essential for economic and environmental impacts. It is important for this study to contribute to the synergy that can be created by combining lean-green paradigms with a waste perspective in industrial and academic settings.
