Abstract: Lean manufacturing is a tool, which is used to cut down waste and to improve the efficiency of an organisation and helps the sustainability of an organisation in the competitive environment. Implementation of green systems in organisations results in reduce energy consumption, waste generation, and hazardous materials used while also building the companies' images as socially responsible organisations. Lean and green systems are associated with waste reduction techniques. In foreign countries, many industries have started implementing these concepts and they are getting good results. In India, companies are facing problems in implementing lean and green concept. This paper investigates the critical success factors for implementation of lean and green concept in Indian medium scale manufacturing industries. The factors are grouped into different levels by interpretive structural modelling (ISM). The analytic network process (ANP) method has been used to determine the extent to which the main principles of lean and green manufacturing have been carried out in the six Indian medium scale manufacturing industries.
