在现存的文献中，一些研究人员已经同意精益和绿色之间的相互关系的性质是协同的，而其他人则将其称为巧合甚至二分法。我们认为，精益与绿色之间的关系之所以没有定论，是因为没有从整体的角度进行调查。在这项研究中，我们解决这个差距，通过判断精益系统与整体供应链的背景下，包括采购，生产和物流的关系。所提出的假设是基于资源为基础的企业的观点。我们在印度等新兴经济体的背景下研究这种关系。使用结构方程建模方法获得的结果表明，精益实施积极影响供应商选择和生产的可持续性做法的实施，但负面影响交付和物流服务的可持续性做法。我们的结论是，精益管理和可持续供应链管理之间的关系并不简单。在某个地方的收益可能会导致在其他地方的损失。因此，必须从整体上看待净影响，而分段分析是得出不确定结论的原因。
In the extant literature some researchers have agreed upon the nature of inter-relationship between lean and green as synergistic whereas other have termed it as coincidental or even dichotomous. We submit that the inconclusiveness in the relationship between lean and green arises from not investigating it from a holistic standpoint. In this study, we address this gap by adjudging the relationship of lean systems with holistic supply chain context which includes sourcing, production and logistics. The proposed hypotheses are grounded in the resource-based view of the firm. We examine the relationship in the context of emerging economy such as India. Results obtained using structural equation modelling method indicates that lean implementation positively influences the implementation of sustainability practices for supplier selection and production but negatively impacts sustainability practices for delivery and logistic services. We conclude that the relationship between lean management and sustainable supply chain management is not straightforward. Gain at some place may cause loss at other places. Therefore, the net impact must be seen in totality and segmented analysis is the cause of inconclusive findings.
