Abstract
Lean manufacturing techniques aim to improve the business processes. In recent times, the ever-increasing attention to aspects of economic, social and above all environmental sustainability, suggests that lean manufacturing is not only techniques for the reduction of business costs, but also for the sustainability improvement of the companies. Even the foundry industry presents technological changes aimed at improving processes but also due to environmental and climate regulations. The paper aims to analyze how technological innovations introduced to obtain economic, social and environmental sustainability influence the production process.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
