Integration of Sustainable Manufacturing, Lean Manufacturing and Circular Economy: Proposal of a Research Model

The rapid industrial revolution has created competitive challenges for sustainable development in manufacturing organisations. However, the studies connecting sustainable manufacturing, lean manufacturing and circular economy dimensions are still receiving little attention. Therefore, this study aims to review the most recent articles on sustainable manufacturing, lean manufacturing and circular economy fields and propose a conceptual model for future research. An extensive review is performed on the published literature between ۲۰۱۲ to ۲۰۲۱ from the Scopus online database. The current state of the implementation framework, challenges, and opportunities in these three areas was reviewed to identify the research gaps. This review article provides insights into the critical elements of these three dimensions to enhance sustainable development in manufacturing industries. An integrated conceptual model is proposed to connect the sustainable dimensions. This model can support the manufacturing industry players in formulating strategic approaches to optimise the sustainable value chain in future industrial applications
