INTEGRATION OF GREEN THINKING INTO LEAN FUNDAMENTALS BY THEORY OF INVENTIVE PROBLEMS-SOLVING

Population of planet is growing constantly. According to United Nations official report of different projections there will be about 10 billion inhabitants on the Earth by 2050. Two out of three persons will live in the city. These facts force today’s’ manufacturers to find more innovative ways to satisfy future customers’ needs from energy perspective and, on the other end, to take care of environment. Already today there is a certain need in set of specific rules for the companies to become more efficient and environment friendly at the same time. The combined approach of lean fundamental thinking with green manufacturing perspective analyzed with TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problems-Solving) methodology is proposed in order to distinguish this target. The results are analyzed from Lean and Green wastes perspective on the basis of unified matrix. The main target of research is to create the short and clear guide for the manufacturers from where to start their way to innovative, environmental friendly and profitable manufacturing.
