The Impact

Seru production system is a flexible, cost-effective, workforce competence-oriented manufacturing management system that provides the opportunity to respond quickly to customer demand. As in parallel to technology and physical improvements, customer demands are also effective for development of production systems. The impact of change in demand has been seen on changeover from job shop to mass production, flexible, and lean manufacturing systems. Seru production system is more appropriate for targeting work both cost-effectively like mass production and maximum diversification like job shop production. This chapter clarifies the Seru production system and explain its use and benefits in the clothing industry. In the application, a shirt production is illustrated according to the principles of mass production, lean production, and Seru production. Thus, different types of production systems have been benchmarked. There will be potential study areas for proving the efficiency of Seru soon.

AbstractAs the plastic industries aim at minimizing the environmental impact caused by mass production, growing consumption and relatively short utility span of materials and products related to plastics, they focus on circular economy (CE) principles as a feasible solution. To facilitate enhanced recycling rates and circularity of plastics, herein, we propose a model named ZERO, to implement the recycling of plastics through the emerging blockchain technology and ontology. We believe these proposed strategies will be key in building a circular economy for the plastic industries and sustainable development.

This article presents the “Trust” as a micro-level institution. The article shows how to use the “Credibility” provided the institutional transition from a Command-Administrative Relations — characteristic of mass production to the cooperative relationship, which is the base of Lean Manufacturing. It is proved that a relationship of trust has a positive influence on the development of management personnel. The “subjectivity” of the latter is supporting institutional change and provides it with the enterprise longterm dynamic development.

Laudato Si has garnered acclaim from world leaders and actors who support care for the environment. The encyclical has received praise for its ability to communicate the Church’s environmental views to the secular world. Yet the views of the Holy See in global environmental issues prior to Laudato Si have received inadequate attention. We conduct a historical review of the Holy See’s involvement in United Nations environmental efforts from the mid-20th Century to the present day. This reflects much of the work done in the late 20th Century by local dioceses all over the world. In doing so, we draw from the Holy See’s record of apostolic letters and speeches penned by Popes and various Church officials in the 20th Century, which we draw from the Vatican archives and libraries. We show that a clear critique of industrial pollution first emerged in the official addresses and letters penned by Pope Paul VI in the early 1960s. We also show that the Holy See has joined the global community on the pursuit of sustainable development that promotes human dignity, and the right to development and to a healthy environment for all, mainly the poorest populations. We argue that Laudato Si is better thought of as a culmination of the Catholic Church’s social teachings, which state that concern for the environment means respect for human life and dignity, promotion of the common good and the virtue of solidarity, and exercising responsibility to the poor and vulnerable. These are principles that align closely with the secular discourse on sustainable development.

Production And Consumption

Ethical and ecological responsibility represent the root of sustainable development taking into account intergenerational justice. Mass production and consumption have left negative effects on the environment. Disregarding ecological responsibility, production processes were mainly based on uncontrollable use of raw materials and non-renewable energy sources. Taking into account limitation of raw materials, economic and ecological disasters, a concept of resilience has been developed to make all elements of society flexible in terms of unwanted shocks. This chapter describes two conceptual economic models: linear and circular. The linear model is based on the principle “take, produce, consume, and throw,” meaning that usability of waste is reduced and that waste is simply thrown out after consumption. Circular economic model takes into account environmental responsibility, but it also makes companies more competitive. Waste is treated and processed adequately and used as raw material in production, thus increasing competitiveness. Waste that cannot be processed is disposed permanently.

There will be a revolution in industry and society as a result of Industry 5.0. Human-robot co-working, also known as cobots, is a key component of Industry 5.0. Industry 5.0 will overcome all the limitations of the previous industrial revolution. Humans and machines will work together in this revolution to increase the efficiency of processes by utilising human brainpower and creativity. To solve complex problems more efficiently and with less human intervention, Industry 5.0 provides a strong foundation for advanced digital manufacturing systems through interconnected networks, and it's designed to communicate with other systems, as well as powerful computing power. To enhance customer satisfaction, Industry 5.0 involves a shift from mass customization to mass personalization along with a shift from digital usage of data to intelligent use of data for sustainable development. On the basis of comparative analysis, this chapter outlines Industry 5.0's definition, its elements and components, and its application and future scope paradigm.

Today, companies dedicated to the design and manufacture of products seek to improve processes and procedures to provide better services. In addition to this, the development of products designed to meet specific needs plays an important role when feedback is obtained, in terms of design and functionality, from the end user for the consolidation of a product. Looking for such consolidation and identifying improvement opportunities, in the present paper a redesign was made based on specific criteria to align manufacturing to mass production. The theoretical framework is established taking the bases of Concurrent Engineering (CE) and Lean Manufacturing (LM), which allows to base the redesign of a scissor wagon (case study). The proposed design was structured under the approaches of cost reduction, quality improvement and characterization of geometry to reduce weight, allowed to define an architecture capable of being aligned to a mass production. The complete procedure to perform the redesign of the wagon and the analysis criteria used to conform such architecture are reported. Finally, the strategies defined for the inclusion of the new product to production and the geometry optimization results obtained by finite element analysis (FEA) are presented.
