The main aim for the companies to deal with the energy efficiency paradigm is to save the resources in the manufacturing operations. Manufacturing opera-tions involve activities that creates wastes in any case, therefore these wastes should be eliminated or minimized as much as possible. In this paper it is aimed to integrate the energy efficiency term with lean management principles. The barriers and the drivers of the energy efficiency was discussed and the 8 wastes within lean perspective were translated into energy counterparts. 8 wastes of lean approach were defined as energy efficiency perspective and used as criteria. The study will reveal the important criteria using Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (Fuzzy ANP) method to make impli-cations about how to eliminate these wastes. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
