Review of Green Practices in the Czech Republic: Challenges and Implementation of Lean Supply Chain Management System

Original language description

This paper is focused on the review of the lean supply chain management system in the automobile industry of the Czech Republic. The green practices that are integral to the supply chain management in the automotive industry of the Czech Republic will also be assessed. The main result of the research is focused on assessing the challenges encountered during the implementation of a lean supply chain management system in the automobile industry of the Czech Republic. The implementation of the lean concept appears to be more advanced in the automotive industry with a focus on the efficiency of the procurement process, therefore lean is the first rational step undertaken by these companies to reduce cost-saving. The choice of the automobile industry for this paper can be attributed to the fact that the automobile industry in the CzechRepublic is globally interconnected and automotive production is vertically integrated into supply chains. As the Czech Republic is an integral part of V4 countries, the V4 region in Europe is a focus of the car manufacturing sector in Europe. Moreover, the Czech Republic is ranked second among V4, the first ranking is held by Slovakia. Nonetheless, the selection of the Republic can be justified for this work as it is an association of the automotive industry, wherein almost 66% of all automotive employees are employed in the supplier companies. Large suppliers of the Czech market also source to the local and global markets. The study will integrate the two diverse approaches of lean and green. So that the green practices associated with the Czech automobile sector can be reviewed, and the challenges faced by the Czech automotive industry can be analysed for the implementation of the lean approach.
