Lean manufacturing cuts waste and saves money. But companies can save even more with Green manufacturing principles by reducing non-product wastes. Manufacturers have applied Green strategies to increase productivity and use materials more efficiently. Hear from experts and a manufacturer who successfully applied these priniciples. Both WMEP and the Green Supplier Network have worked with small and midsized manufacturers to identify strategies for improving process lines and using resources more efficiently. Lean and Green make a powerful combination that targets and eliminates the root causes of waste. The result — a stronger bottom line.
