Main Article Content
Abstract
Rapid urbanization is driven by quality living aspirations, yet it has posed many challenges toward creating a sustainable built environment. One of the significant challenges is managing the enormous amount of waste created in the urban environment. The problem becomes more critical for cities like Patna (India), where infrastructure growth has not occurred concerning the growing population density. This paper is about exploring lean Thinking in Municipal Solid waste management to provide an efficient model that could manage the increasing quantity without scaling up the system. The study explores the applicability of Lean Principles in Municipal Solid Waste Management by identifying the Value Chain and creating flow within the system in Indian and Global contexts. Furthermore, it analyses the present condition of Municipal Solid Waste Management in the region of Patna Municipal Corporation, identifies its Value Stream and revenue generation potential. The study suggests suitable Lean suggestions for improving the present condition and revenue generation opportunities of Municipal Solid Waste Management in the area under the jurisdiction of Patna Municipal Corporation. This guides the path for introducing Lean management in the Municipal Solid Waste Management sector and improving the management capacity of ULBs with the optimum utilization of available resources.
