**6. Conclusion**

The essentials of the Lean and Green facet has a foundation for beginners to comprehend the concepts of both is made. This integration leads to the synergy between Lean and Green yielding good result benefiting both environmental and operational performances. This chapter outlines the principles of Lean and Green manufacturing, tools for its application, enablers and inhibitors of this technology. The study reveals that due to ignorance, poor planning and no government policy to support and industries in implementing this approach. Total involvement of management within SMEs is a must for successful implementation. After identifying impediments of this integrated management still cannot implement effectively due to the shortage of experts in this domain. This chapter has reviewed the literature and identified the research gap amongst the barriers and implementation tools adopted, to fill this gap, a Lean Green framework model is developed to overcome the barriers of implementation. The ingredients of this proposed Lean and Green model are Men, Material, Machine, Money and Environment [20]. This model through simulation can fill the research gap to enhance the rate of implementation of this Lean and Green approach. This chapter can act as a primer to SMEs for a better understanding of Lean and Green, also to aid them to effectively implement sustainability in their manufacturing facilities. This chapter motivates and inspires SMEs to adopt Lean and Green manufacturing and to become Industry 4.0 compliant.
