Abstract
The Thai electronics manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to the national economy. However, concerns regarding environmental impact necessitate a shift towards sustainable practices. Lean manufacturing (LM) is widely implemented for efficiency, but its impact on sustainability in Thailand remains unclear. While studies suggest a positive link between LM and sustainability, the underlying mechanisms are underexplored. This research investigates the mediating role of manufacturing performance in this relationship. To examine the relationship between LM practices and sustainability in Thai electronics manufacturing and to investigate the mediating effect of manufacturing performance on this relationship. This quantitative study will employ a survey among Thai electronics manufacturers practicing lean practices. The expected benefits of this study are for Thai electronics manufacturers can identify areas for sustainable LM practices, for the Policymakers can design policies promoting sustainable manufacturing and for the Academics gain knowledge on LM and sustainability in the Thai context.
