LEAN AND SUSTAINABILITY: How Can They Reinforce Each Other?Rudy Gort
Abstract
The purpose of this dissertation is to find out whether sustainability can introduce lean to companies in situations other than a crisis. The project also looks at how lean, as a proven management system, can support sustainability in becoming economically more attractive.
This dissertation starts with an extensive literature review, first about lean, followed by sustainability. It looks at: definitions, reasons why, how to, and barriers. Then a combined literature review focuses on: the communalities, potential conflicts, and how lean and sustainability can support one another. Each chapter concludes with a conceptual framework where findings are summed.
The research approach is both deductive (literature review to develop a theoretical position) and inductive (data collection and analysis). The main research design is an exploratory study based on comparative case studies. For this both a Lean Change Agent and an Environment, Health & Safety Manager were interviewed at three multinationals.
The findings show that lean is mainly used for its practical guidance, by using its tools and techniques, while also helping to make the broad concept of sustainability more tangible. However, without adopting lean’s long-term philosophic base, its utilisation remains superficial and is less likely to have a long lasting impact.
Sustainability hardly provides any other incentives for lean than financial ones. Although an extra constancy of purpose is not offered by sustainability, the emerging economic urgency may create a useful tide for lean.
As such this dissertation still provides enough arguments for both lean and sustainability implementers to stand stronger together facing mutual issues.

3.2 System Design For Eco Efficiency Vezzoli 07 08 (28.10.08)vezzoli
The document discusses system design for eco-efficiency. It describes an approach that involves designing integrated systems of products and services to fulfill demands while promoting new socio-economic stakeholder interactions and participated design between stakeholders, with the goal of orienting these processes toward more eco-efficient solutions. It lists several criteria for system design for eco-efficiency, including optimizing the system life, reducing transportation and distribution, minimizing resources and waste, conserving and using biocompatible materials, and reducing toxins.
The document discusses system design for social equity and cohesion. It provides criteria for designing systems that improve social outcomes, such as employment conditions, equity, sustainable consumption, and social cohesion. Few tools currently exist to guide design towards socially equitable solutions. The document proposes developing methods and tools to help design promote network-structured and locally-based sustainable initiatives through a stakeholder interaction and satisfaction-system approach.
Design transition paths towards sustainabilityvezzoliDSS
This document discusses key factors for facilitating the implementation and diffusion of eco-efficient product-service systems (EE-PSS). It identifies two main factors: 1) Building networks of socio-economic actors to support innovation development and diffusion, involving universities, public institutions, NGOs, and media. 2) Developing a long-term vision to align actor expectations and provide direction, as seen in cases like a bike sharing system, energy service companies, and clothing rental services. The document argues these factors are important for managing the risks of radical system innovations that challenge social and market norms.
Design transition paths towards sustainabilityvezzoliDSS
This document discusses eco-efficient product-service systems and barriers to their adoption. It notes that while several eco-efficient PSS innovations have been implemented, they often face difficulties spreading due to: cultural barriers for users accustomed to ownership; challenges for companies to change business models; and regulations not always supporting new solutions. The document examines specific case studies and concludes that eco-efficient PSS typically present radical innovations that challenge habits, organizations and rules in ways that hamper their widespread adoption for sustainability.
6.1 method for system design for sustainability vezzoli 14-15 (71)LeNS_slide
The document describes the MSDS (Method for System Design for Sustainability) method. It was created to support the design of sustainable product-service system solutions. The MSDS method involves several phases and tools to guide designers in strategically analyzing the context, generating ideas, and developing concepts for sustainable systems. It aims to be modular and adaptable to different design processes and projects. Key tools described include the Sustainability Design-Orienting toolkit to inspire sustainable solutions, and the Sustainability Interaction Story-Spot and System Map to visualize system interactions and configurations.

Flat packed and easy assembled stool - King & Webbon.pptxLeNS_slide
The flat-packed lab stool can be assembled in less than 15 minutes using an allen wrench. It is made from sustainably sourced beech ply in the UK. The stool is stackable, making it suitable for small spaces. The lab stool collaboration between King & Webbon design studio and the Science Museum aims to create furniture designed to last rather than be disposable through its flat-pack design that can be assembled on-site to reduce transportation energy consumption and packaging waste.
The document discusses sustainable energy access for all as essential for sustainable development. It outlines that over 1 billion people lack electricity access and over 2 billion rely on inefficient and polluting biomass for cooking. Distributed renewable energy (DRE) is presented as a promising model to achieve universal access through small-scale, decentralized energy generation near the point of use, often from solar, wind and other renewable sources. DRE can help transition away from unsustainable centralized fossil fuel systems towards greater environmental, social and economic sustainability.
This document outlines a design exercise for students to develop sustainable product-service systems (S.PSS) that provide distributed renewable energy (DRE) for households in African communities. Students will design systems for eating or clothing care in villages/townships in Botswana, Uganda, South Africa, or Kenya. The exercise involves analyzing the context, generating ideas, and developing system concepts. Students will consider environmental, socio-ethical, and economic sustainability dimensions. They will create system maps, interaction tables, and storyboards to illustrate their concepts. The goal is to design DRE systems that provide essential household functions through sustainable energy access for communities.
6.4 sustainable for all design orienting toolsLeNS_slide
This document provides an overview of tools and methods for designing sustainable distributed renewable energy (DRE) systems oriented towards achieving sustainable energy for all. It describes a sustainable design orienting scenario (SDOS) approach for generating ideas for product-service systems applied to DRE in low and middle income contexts. The SDOS uses scenario narratives, videos and diagrams to inspire idea generation. It also outlines several forms and online databases for evaluating energy needs, production potential, and dimensions for a proposed DRE system concept. The tools are intended to guide the design process from idea generation through concept development and evaluation.
The document describes three tools for system design for sustainability: the stakeholder system map, interaction table, and satisfaction offering diagram. The stakeholder system map visually maps out the stakeholders in a system and their interactions through flows of materials, information, finances, and labor. The interaction table and storyboard tools are used to design and visualize the functioning of a system over time through narratives and images of interactions between stakeholders. The satisfaction offering diagram maps out what satisfactions or benefits a system offers to different stakeholder groups.
6.2 sustainability system design tools vezzoli 14-15 (34)LeNS_slide
This document describes two sustainability-orienting system design tools: the Sustainability Design-Orienting (SDO) toolkit and the Sustainability Interaction Story-Spot. The SDO toolkit is a modular software that guides designers in evaluating existing systems, identifying best practices, generating sustainable ideas, and checking concepts against sustainability criteria. The Sustainability Interaction Story-Spot visually depicts key stakeholder interactions that improve sustainability criteria through images and short texts. Both tools integrate into the design process to increase orientation of concepts toward sustainable outcomes.

It defines system design as designing interactions between stakeholders in a system to fulfill customer demands in a sustainable way. It presents criteria for social equity and cohesion in system design, such as improving employment, enabling sustainable consumption, and empowering local resources. Methods and tools are needed to guide system design according to these criteria. The document also introduces an emerging methodology for system design for sustainability and a toolkit for sustainability design orientation.
4.1 towards social equity and cohesion vezzoli 14-15 (22)LeNS_slide
This document discusses approaches to promoting social equity and cohesion through system design. It proposes that product-service systems (PSS) and distributed economies (DE) are promising models, and that applying sustainable PSS approaches to DE could facilitate locally-based, small-scale sustainable opportunities for all contexts, including low-income areas. A key hypothesis presented is that a sustainable PSS approach applied to DE could help diffuse various forms of DE in low and middle-income contexts by fostering locally-based, networked small enterprises and initiatives that democratize access to sustainable resources.
3.1 eco efficient system innovation vezzoli-14-15 (42)LeNS_slide
The document discusses eco-efficient product-service systems (PSS) as an innovative business model that can significantly reduce environmental impacts compared to traditional sales models. It defines three types of eco-efficient PSS: 1) adding value to the product life cycle by providing additional services, 2) providing final results to customers instead of products, and 3) providing enabling platforms for customers to obtain satisfaction. The document argues that when providers retain ownership of products and are paid based on the value or use of the products, their economic interests are aligned with designing and offering products that have lower environmental impacts through longer lifespans, higher resource efficiency, easier recyclability, and broader access to customers.
2. product life cycle design vezzoli 14-15 (41)LeNS_slide
This document provides an introduction to product life cycle design from Carlo Vezzoli. It discusses key concepts like life cycle assessment, the functional approach, and environmental criteria for product life cycle design including resource minimization, low impact material selection, optimizing product life, and extending material life through design for recycling, energy recovery, and composting. The goal of product life cycle design is to minimize environmental impacts across a product's entire life cycle from production to end of life.
