abstract = "There is an unprecedented demand for sustainability incorporation;
however, a significant gap exists-in sustainability management
systems. We considered this gap as well as the fact that
organizations mainly face difficulties in managing sustainability
using integrated management systems. Here, we propose an
innovative model to improve corporate sustainability aimed at
cleaner production; we develop this model by integrating quality,
environmental, social responsibility, and occupational health and
safety management systems with the lean manufacturing system. The
proposed model is expected to aid organizations in improving
corporate sustainability in a structured manner. This research
introduces the Lean-Integrated Management System for
Sustainability Improvement (LIMSSI), which is based on the
rational use of resources and energy while engaging and empowering
people. The LIMSSI provides an innovative description of
correlations of the quality, environmental, occupational health
and safety, and social responsibility requirements with the
principles and tools of lean manufacturing; it also includes a
description of their integration to create synergies. It was
structured considering the difficulties faced by organizations in
performing sustainability-improvement activities, and aim to avoid
loss of organizational efficiency due to waste, duplication, and
increments of bureaucratic processes. The LIMSSI is expected to
improve corporate sustainability performance and thereby render
companies more sustainable and competitive.",
