Lean Logistics, Lean Supply Chain, And Lean Supply Chain Management For Sustainability: WOS (1987-2024)

Abstract

To achieve global sustainable development goals, solutions should be developed in environmental, economic, and social areas. Lean logistics is one of them. This study was planned to bibliometrically examine the publications on lean logistics, reveal current trends, and guide future researchers. On 20.07.2024, 267 publications on lean logistics were accessed from the Web of Science database. The collected data were analyzed using a social sciences statistical program. Publications cover the years 1987-2024. Most publications were written in 2022 (219) and received 7000 citations. The subject is lean logistics management (205), and Six Sigmahasbeenexamined(117). The majority of publications (114) were WOS. SSCIs were screened. The language of publication is English (260). The country with the most broadcasts is England. This data was scanned in the (114) index. 260 publications were published in English. England ranks first with 38 publications. 161 publications meet sustainable development goals. (92) of these are Responsible Consumption, (47) industry, innovation, and infrastructure, (12) sustainable cities and communities (5) healthy and quality life, (2) healthy and quality life, and ( 1) zero hunger, quality education and decent It includes work and economic growth. Lean logistics are necessary to achieve sustainability goals.
