Why "Lean" and "Green" ?
 Lean manufacturing at its very core seeks to eliminate waste.
The U.S. EPA recognizes
this and encourages lean application to environmental concerns
(reduce movement, energy, waste water, scrap, etc.). This is the foundation of the
Lean and Green Summit. Start now with practical steps. Your
company is already using lean in operations, now focus it more
specifically on environmental concerns. That's the start. That's
the
easy part. With this as the foundation, the Summit will
address the larger issues of sustainability...
-
Measurements
showing if your product life cycles and
operations are sustainable
-
Energy consumption
cut by 1/3
-
Almost no virgin
material used in production
-
Almost zero toxic
releases, both in manufacturing processes and in end-of-life-products
The Connection of Lean and Green
The Lean and Green
Summit will bring to light the deep connections between lean and
green, with both seeking to reduce waste. Explore how the proven
business strategy of lean (a strategy already at work in your
company) can naturally be applied to issues of sustainability.

Lean and Green Summit
July
17-18, 2008
Boulder, CO |
| |
|
From Compliance to Innovation...
|
|
With so many "green conferences" in the marketplace, why
the Lean and Green Summit? This Summit will uniquely
bring together the passions of two committed groups... |
|
- |
advocates of
operational excellence who see the implications lean
principles have in sustainability |
|
- |
environmental advocates wanting to move industry toward
sustainability |
Far from a traditional
conference, the Lean and Green Summit will be highly
participatory, before, during, and after. The Summit is not as
much about educating as it is about problem solving. Think
solutions, not theory. Think action, not talk.
|
