Practical implications: The world is going through a new industrial revolution and this fact makes it necessary for companies to proactively manage their resources. Originality / Value: A small step towards environmental sustainability using the lean production system method in conjunction with the green production system essential to the success of the project</p>}, number={1}, journal={Europub Journal of Exact and Engineering Research}, author={Martins, Gleison Hidalgo and Gil, Wellington Torres and Catapan, Márcio Fontana}, year={2022}, month={Jan.}, pages={21–53} }
