Abstract

The world of business is facing different challenges and changes in both macro and microenvironment. Development in technologies offers both challenges and opportunities for businesses. However, on the other hand, it also offers different challenges and threats, particularly in the aspect of those related to the environmental issues, which is becoming more and more popular in the global industry. Management practices in the recent days have undergone rapid transformations owing to global changes taking place. The focus of organizations have been on increasing operational efficiency, reducing costs, enhancing quality levels, ensuring steady profits and meeting customer needs. Therefore, Lean Environmental Management Integration System (LEMIS) has been developed. LEMIS model is an integration of Environmental Management System, Lean Principles and ISO 14001.
