Lean Sustainability: Creating Safe, Enduring, and Profitable Operations

Aiming to prove that safety and sustainability are not contrary to business success, this practical manual provides real-world methods for combining safety, environmental, and sustainability processes with the Lean paradigm's Safety, Health, and Environmental (SHE) Pillar. After an overview of the SHE Pillar as the foundation of Lean continuous improvement, subsequent chapters cover autonomous SHE, integrating SHE into the autonomous maintenance pillar, training and education for SHE, and SHE Pillar activities. The final chapter outlines 10 implementation phases. The book includes numerous b&w flow charts, process diagrams, photos, and tables.
