"In the current environment of high competitiveness between companies, production systems can constitute threats if the performance of their operational processes is not able to reduce costs, waste, controlling environmental impacts and increase productivity. So, this study aims to investigate the contribution of lean production (Lean) and environmental management (Green) to reduce waste in production processes. This is an exploratory and qualitative research and it was conducted through a multiple case study applied in three companies from Ceará state in different economic sectors, using the lean production system associated with the practice of environmental management. The results provided evidence indicating that lean production associated with environmental management contributes to reducing waste in production processes."
