Abstract
The contemporary business environment is expected to cope with the pressures for organizing the production to go beyond developing a good product. The enterprises have to shorten product life cycles, extend product diversity and react to their production volume variance by continuous adaptation and improvement of their production processes. The promising approach seems to be lean management which can reduce wastes from its production through environmental practices. The paper presents an analysis of the convergences of lean manufacturing and environmental management which are fulfilled by factor change agent. It demonstrates the positive impact of these concepts in better use of resources and elimination or reduction of generated waste. Its efficiency is shown in the analysis of indexes such as earnings before deducting interest and taxes (EBIT) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).
