The paper ´Modeling lean and green: a review from business models´, published in the International Journal of Lean Six Sigma, authored by the UNIDEMI researchers Susana Duarte and V. Cruz Machado, was the winner of Awards for Excellence - Outstanding Paper Award for 2013 by the Editorial Team of the Emerald publisher.
The paper examines how different business models, embodied in awards, standards and frameworks, can contribute to modelling a lean and green approach for an organization and its supply chain. The study reveals a number of categories that are common in most business models, providing adequate conditions for a lean-green transformation.
The paper has resulted from a research work integrated in the project “Lean, agile, resilient and green supply chain management – LARG_SCM”, in the scope of the MIT Portugal Program (http://www.mitportugal.org/2008-projects/lean-agile-resilient-and-green-supply-chain-management-largscm.html).
