Abstract

Environmental pollution is not a new problem for organizations, but
the new is increasing of variety in pollution nowadays. The
responsibility of the industrial sector in environmental pollution is a
great one comparing to other sectors. Under multiple types of waste and
the high cost of pollution, it has become imperative for the governments
to find solutions and appropriate tools that control the causes of waste,
reduce the cost of pollution and sustain the environment. Accordingly,
advanced manufacturing systems have emerged. One of these advanced
systems is the Lean Manufacturing System (LMS) that focuses mainly
on removing waste regularly by using a set of tools such as Kaizen.
Thus, a strong relationship between environmental improvement and
LMS is created and this what the researcher is trying to study.
The research aims to determine the impact of the application of
LMS on environmental costs and its role in supporting sustainable
development. The research hypothesis is that the application of LMS
assists organizations in removing or reducing waste and hence reducing
the cost of environmental pollution.
The research concluded with a set of conclusions. The most
important one is that the traditional manufacturing systems create waste
and do not take into consideration the environmental impact of
manufacturing processes. The researcher to recommended organizations
apply the LMS as it is considered a driver for sustainable improvement
of the environment and the reduction of environmental pollution costs.
