Abstract

Environmental change has been driven by several incentives in manufacturing companies, for many decades. But there is a strong need to do more in respect of sustainable development. A literature review is presented here to explore what has been driving environmental change: the concepts of a regulatory approach towards integration into quality management systems, and lean concepts. A future trend that is moving towards resource availability and the earth’s capacity is identified, and to meet the future requirements in a proactive manner, skills in sustainable development, combining environmental, social and economic targets, can be a crucial factor for success for a manufacturing company. Links between success factors in change management literature and sustainability approaches are developed to support manufacturing companies in identifying their position on the movement.
