Success factors for green-lean product development: a systematic review and conceptual framework
摘要
In the contemporary turbulent business environment, the notion of green-lean product development (GLPD) as a strategy to maintain competitive advantage and enhance environmental performance is becoming increasingly important. Over the years, many efforts have been devoted to exploring the success factors that drive the effective implementation of GLPD. However, few studies have discussed these success factors and the influencing mechanisms among them from a holistic practice perspective. This study aims to consolidate the GLPD literature, identify and update the success factors that promote joint implementation of lean and green in the product development process (PDP), and acquire a thorough comprehension of the interrelationships among these determinants. Following the systematic review procedure and the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocols, this study identified 14 critical success factors (CSFs) and revealed their interrelationships, resulting in a comprehensive conceptual framework. Based on the insights derived from prior research, this study proposes the interrelationships among the CSFs of GLPD. In the conceptual framework, the CSFs in “General” category serve as a fundamental basis for implementing GLPD. The key factors in the “People” category widely promote the continued functioning of the elements in the “Process” and “Tools/technology” dimensions. The research results provide a favorable reference for scholars to systematically study the implementation paths of GLPD. The discussion of CSFs could further enhance the comprehension of the effective ways for implementing GLPD and provide guidance for specific operations.
