Summary/Abstract: Contemporary enterprises are continually looking for ways of activities aiming at the increase of their effectiveness. In the 1990s the quality management was the dominating and the most popular conception of management in Polish companies. Next, the system approaches gained into importance. They exchanged the responsibility of the manufacturers not only for the quality of the processes and the quality of products resulting from them, but also obliged them to be responsible for the product within its whole life cycle. Also the environmental policy and protection and Social Corporate Responsibility came into existence, as well as the rules of sustainable development. As the result of interfusing of quality management conceptions (TQM, SixSigma, etc.) and so called supporting conceptions, the following solutions appeared: Lean Six Sigma, Lean Kaizen, Human Sigma, Lean Green. Their appearance results from emphasizing selected and different goals in enterprises and − as a consequence of it − different approaches and tools of conducting their activities. The conception of Human, Lean and Green elements integration is a new proposal.
