Track: Sustainable Manufacturing

Abstract

This project presents the implementation of green productivity for plastic manufacturer. The main problem for plastic manufacturer is to increase company productivity and environment performance. One of the methods to increase the productivity with minimizing the waste of company has produced or convert the waste to gain value added. This project implements green productivity tools such as material balance, plant layout, and eco mapping. After the data analyzed using material balance, wastes the company produced were plastic pellets and remaining pieces of plastics that not used anymore. The proposed layout needs to consider workflow and to minimize material handling distance. Proposed layout has material handling distance of 44 m, which is more efficient 2% for every cycle time from original layout. In addition, the proposed layout also adds waste warehouse to convert the waste to gain value added. Finally, this research implements green productivity to increase productivity and minimize waste of the company.
