Empty Containers

The global competition encourages Indonesia to advance the economy, especially in manufacturing by implementing sustainable manufacturing. Companies must consider transportation costs and concern for the environment due to the large increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the increase in NOx, Particulate, and various other harmful pollutants. Emissions from transportation activities cause global climate change and damage air quality and human health in regional and urban areas. At the same time, the movement of empty containers can result in air pollution due to CO2 emissions which have a negative impact on sustainable development. This study aims to reduce carbon emissions in the logistics transportation chain in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry. The method used is the Eight Step Approach. The method used is systematic and structured from defining the problem to standardizing improvements. Analysis of the causes of the problem and proposed improvements are determined by Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with expert judgment. The source of the data obtained comes from field observations, FGD, company reports from 2019 to 2021. This research has proven that reducing carbon emissions has an impact on company profits. The largest decrease was contributed by improvements in transportation routes. The ratio of reducing carbon emissions by 2020 is 2.6% or an increase in efficiency compared to the previous year.

Increasing manufacturing complexity continues to be one of the most significant challenges facing the manufacturing industry today. Due to these rapid changes in manufacturing systems, one of the most important factors affecting production is recognized as the frequent production setup or changeovers, consequently affecting the overall production lead times and competitiveness of the company. Developing responsive production setup and process capability is increasingly important as product ranges and varieties in manufacturing companies are growing rapidly and, at the same time, production business models are operating more towards being customer-oriented. Furthermore, although different conventional methods have been used to manage complexity in production changeovers, sustainability and competitiveness development in a manufacturing company needs to be scientifically addressed by managing manufacturing complexity. In this paper, a sustainable manufacturing-oriented approach is presented in mind of managing manufacturing changeover complexities. A case study is carried out specifically concerning changeover complexity in a pharmaceutical company, aiming at minimizing complexities in production changeover and waste, increasing plant flexibility and productivity, and ultimately the sustainable competitiveness of the company in managing manufacturing changes.

Sustainability Concept

The necessity for decreasing the negative impact of the manufacturing industry has recently increased. This is getting recognized as a global challenge due to the rapid increase in life quality standards, demand, and the decrease in available resources. Thus, manufacturing, as a core of the product provision system and a fundamental pillar of civilized existence, is significantly influenced by sustainability issues. Furthermore, current manufacturing modeling and assessment criteria require intensive revisions and upgrades to keep up with these new challenges. Nearly all current manufacturing models are based on the old paradigm, which was proven to be inadequate. Therefore, manufacturing technology, along with culture and economy, are held responsible for providing new tools and opportunities for building novel resolutions towards a sustainable manufacturing concept. One of such tools is sustainability assessment measures. Revising and updating such tools is a core responsibility of the manufacturing sector to efficiently evaluate and enhance sustainable manufacturing performance. These measures should be adequate to respond to the growing sustainability concerns in pursuit of an integrated sustainability concept. The triple bottom line (TBL) that includes environment, economic, and social dimensions has usually been used to evaluate sustainability. However, there is a lack of standard sets of sustainable manufacturing performance measures. In addition to the sustainability concept, a new concept of smart manufacturing is emerging. The smart manufacturing concept takes advantage of the recent technological leap in Artificial Intelligent (AI), Cloud Computing (CC), and the Internet of Things (IoT). Although this concept offers an important step to boost the current production capabilities to meet the growing need, it is still not clear whether the two concepts of smart manufacturing and sustainability will constructively or destructively interact. Therefore, the current study aims to integrate the sustainable smart manufacturing performance by incorporating sustainable manufacturing measures and discussing current and future challenges that are faced by the manufacturing sector. In addition, the opportunities for future research incorporating sustainable smart manufacturing are also presented.

Hierarchical Framework

Sustainability is increasingly being addressed globally. The manufacturing industry faces various constraints and opportunities related to sustainable development. Currently, there are few methodological frameworks for evaluating sustainable organizational development. Assessing and improving organizational capacity is important for producers and researchers in the field and local, national, and international authorities. This research proposes a hierarchical framework for sustainability assessment of manufacturing industry in Romania. The proposed framework integrates performance elements and measures to improve all the processes and activities from the triple perspective of sustainability. Sustainability assessment captures the entire supply chain of the organization, including stakeholder interests and end-of-life directions for products. To establish the elements to be integrated in the development of the proposed framework, market research (online questionnaire-for the characterization of Industry 4.0) and the Delphi method were used to identify the categories of performance indicators that must be measured to identify organizational capacity for sustainable development. The framework was tested by an automotive manufacturing organization. A number of improvements have been identified that relate to Industry 4.0 facilities and the application of the facilities related to recovering the value of the product at the end of its life cycle. This hierarchical framework can be customized in detail for the specific of each organization and can be adapted in other industries, including banking, retail, and other services. It can be observed that waste management and the interests of the stakeholders are major implications that must be measured and properly motivated.

The estimation of flood spreading in urban areas ofUkraineis carried out. Total increase of flood in urban areas of administrative regions ofUkraineis investigated. It is shown that flooding inUkrainehas already become a major factor in ecological and geological complexity of life safety in industrial and urban areas. The most important regions of the country in which flooding has become a significant factor that directly affects the dangerous change of geological environment are determined. In general this creates an additional threat to the security of the population in these areas and can be a determining factor of environmental degradation in cities and town in most regions of the country. It is concluded that during 1998-2014 the impact of global climate change on activation of urban flooding inUkrainehas been growing in the conditions of lack of defensive ability of hydraulic structures against increased level of precipitation and expanding of flooding areas. Grade of administrative regions ofUkraineon the level of growth of urban flooding is offered. Expected socio-economic losses out from urban flooding inUkraineare assessed. Some of the greatest values of expected loss have been observed within the most industrialized and populated regions ofUkraine. It is shown that urban flooding inUkrainehas already become an additional factor in shaping the nature of man-made threats to the security of urban population of these areas. The complex of measures for reduction of the negative impact of and damage from urban flooding in the conditions ofUkraineare offered.

Ten years have passed since the Fukushima nuclear accident, but its impact on the environment and energy consumption structure has continued up to now. This accident delayed the process of China’s nuclear power construction and may have a certain potential impact on China’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. This paper aims to properly understand the negative impact of the Fukushima nuclear leakage on China’s nuclear power industry, to reawaken the attention of Chinese academic and governmental departments to nuclear energy, and to explore a reasonable path to achieve carbon neutrality. Based on the idea of a quasi-natural experiment, this paper collected the carbon emissions data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2000 to 2017, and explored the accident impact and mechanism on carbon emissions in the provinces with nuclear power. The research results showed that the Fukushima nuclear accident had different impacts on China’s nuclear power provinces. Due to the large proportion of manufacturing industry and high dependence on energy, the carbon emissions in Jiangsu Province rose after being impacted by the incident, in contrast, the research results in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces were opposite. Through the mechanism test, it was found that the incident impact had reduced the carbon emissions of Guangdong and Zhejiang by improving the industrial structure and energy efficiency, with the explanation ratios of 10.45 and 15.1%, respectively. Technological innovation had obscured the emission reduction effect of the incident impact, and the innovation driving force for green development in nuclear power base provinces was insufficient. These findings are helpful to analyze the regional layout of China’s nuclear power and have implications for achieving carbon neutrality. Finally, this study offers relevant policy recommendations.

Purpose Today, manufacturing companies are facing a fierce competition and are under great pressure to cut costs for survival in the market. So emphasis is given to enhance quality, minimize waste, customer delight and increasing productivity through reduction in wastage of resources. But, most companies hesitate to implement all measures simultaneously to acquire lean manufacturing because of some practical/ capital constraints. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop a phase-wise approach to implement lean manufacturing. Design/methodology/approach The paper opted for an exploratory study using the qualitative flexible system methodology framework proposed by Sushil (1994) and options field methodology proposed by Warfield (1982, 1990) including rigorous group discussion comprising the employees representing middle and senior management with productivity improvement backgrounds. The response of experts was recorded using a specially designed instrument in the light of the parameters suggested in group discussion. The measures/ actions were arranged in the decreasing order of their cumulative score. Findings The paper provides a phase-wise approach to implement lean manufacturing. Mixed approach is preferred over the other three approaches to implement lean manufacturing. Thirty measures/actions contributing to mixed approach are identified to implement lean manufacturing in three phases. A three-phase approach is developed: 10, 14 and six measures in the first, second and third phases, respectively, are identified to implement lean manufacturing after considering the practical constraints faced by the companies. Research limitations/implications All the measures/actions suggested to implement lean manufacturing are focused on the engineering manufacturing industry. Thus, the research results may lack generalizability and are limited to engineering manufacturing industry. The model developed in this research is based upon experts’ opinions. The experts’ opinion may be biased. The results of the model may vary in the real-world setting. Practical implications The present paper provides guidelines to practitioners for implementing lean manufacturing in phases. Hopefully, this study will motivate the firm’s management for implementing lean manufacturing and limiting the effect of practical constraints and scarcity of resources. Originality/value This paper fulfills and identifies the need to develop an approach to implement lean manufacturing phase wise because of practical constraints.

Abstract In the execution of product development projects, deviation in time, budget and quality must be avoided. The expectations on these outcomes are high, especially in commodity-type projects, where most of the project content is assumed known upfront. On the other hand, increasingly complex project environments face constantly changes, where shift in scope is more the rule than the exception. In this study, we cluster factors assumed pushing the project boundaries of exploration in terms of innovation, complexity and newness. We pose an initial hypothesis that dealing with unplanned changes, or ‘newness’, has an overall negative outcome on project outcomes, despite the underlying intentions. It is also hypothesized that learning capabilities of the product development team is a major factor for successfully dealing with the dynamics of newness. To test both hypothesizes, we first developed and executed a survey involving 10 manufacturing companies. The participants were asked to rate 25 statements related to innovation, complexity and newness, and their perceived impact on overall project success. The results show a clearly negative correlation between successful projects and newness. To test the second hypothesis, the single statements for ‘newness’ was divided into positive and negative learning. The term ‘negative learning’ is used when stress occurs and therefore knowledge and abilities are not properly developed. Positive learning describes on the other hand if motivation is high and active learning occurs. The results show that newness statements related to positive learning has a positive impact on project outcomes, whereas negative learning has a negative impact on project success.

Indonesia, as a country with high vulnerable to the effects of global climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions, is committed to implementing the Kyoto Protocol by issuing the Law No. 17 of 2004 regulating the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. On the other hand, Indonesia with the second largest tropical forest in the world is expected to contribute oxygen to protect the world's top greenhouse gas effect as the main cause of global warming. This study aims to provide empirical evidence of the extent to which the response of companies in Indonesia in addressing global warming due to carbon emissions leading to dumping greenhouse gases and what efforts done as a form of corporate social responsibility. This study found that there are differences in the disclosure of carbon emissions before and after the enactment of Indonesian Act No. 17 of 2004. However, the study also found that only about 10% of manufacturing companies in Indonesia have an action associated with a reduction in carbon emissions of the company.
