Introduction. The integration of innovative management methods with corporate sustainability strategies has
become increasingly relevant across business sectors.
Problem Statement. The challenge is to evaluate management methods when combined with decarbonization approaches to ensure both efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Purpose. This study has investigated the impact of combined production management methods on key performance indicators of enterprises, including their advantages and disadvantages, application frameworks, managerial implementation, cultural aspects, and capacity planning under emission reduction requirements.
Materials and Methods. A mixed-methods approach has been employed, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyze innovative practices. Information-search, analytical, and comparative methods,
along with cost-benefit and decision tree analysis, have been applied to develop practical recommendations.
Results. A comprehensive comparative analysis of innovative production management methods — specifically
Lean Manufacturing, Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma, the Theory of Constraints (TOC), and Justin-Time (JIT) — has been presented. The study has examined similarities and differences across 20 criteria in both international and domestic enterprises, enabling decision-makers to gain deeper insight into their foundations. It has been demonstrated that integrating decarbonization with efficiency-focused methodologies optimizes resource
utilization. Practical recommendations for improving production processes have been developed, taking into account industry-specific characteristics and current operational challenges. Cost-benefit and decision tree analyses have confirmed the robustness of the proposed recommendations.
Conclusions. The proposed approach has contributed to aligning sustainability objectives with profitability in
manufacturing enterprises. The findings have provided a foundation for further research in innovation management and for the development of practical solutions aimed at cost optimization, quality improvement, and enhanced customer satisfaction in the manufacturing sector.
