Abstract: Supply chain management (SCM) is crucial for increasing organisational effectiveness, enhancing competitiveness, customer service and profitability. Actually, the lean and green philosophies have been adopted in the SCM context, but nearly always separately and with little understanding of their influence on supply chain performance. Accordingly, this paper intends to propose a conceptual model that explores the relationships between lean and green practices and supply chain performance. A set of lean and green SCM practices and a performance measurement system are suggested. The proposed performance measures intend to evaluate the practices influence on operational, economic and environmental supply chain's performance.

Keywords: lean paradigms; green paradigms; performance measurement; organisational effectiveness; competitiveness; customer services; profitability; conceptual models; operational performance; economic performance; environmental practices; environment; business performance; SCM; supply chain management; simulation; manufacturing industry; service industries.
