Michael Packer, VP of Lockheed Martin, as was mentioned last post, was a featured speaker at the Green Production Module launch sponsored by MSSC on October 18th. He explained the successful and continuous green sustainability programs used by his company. He posited the integral connection between lean and green manufacturing. Elimination of waste throughout the production cycle being a central tenet of lean logically boosting the goals of wise use of resources, recycling, and energy efficiency so core to green manufacturing.
Companies with global reach look to green manufacturing and company-wide sustainability programs for a competitive edge, cost savings, and an early transition to a vastly reduced carbon economy of the next 100 years. Long term forecasts place increasing costs on ever scarcer carbon based fuels and increasing environmental degradation and climate change due to their use.
