With growing environmental and social concerns,
many organizations are feeling the pressure to
reevaluate their business practices in accordance with
sustainability standards. Retailers, costumers, and
stakeholders expect manufacturers to develop
production methods which will have minimal
environmental impacts.
How are manufacturing facilities making these mass
shifts in business? Through both independent
initiatives and in conjunction with management
systems that have already been created.
For those with manufacturing facilities, this one is for
you!

12. Key Issues
Sustainable Manufacturing
requires a holistic approach to
the manufacturing process that
monitors inputs and outputs in
order to reduce the amounts of
materials and energy being
consumed, improve health and
safety, and reduce the life-cycle
impact of products.
www.sustainabilityconsulting.com
Copyright © 2012, Strategic Sustainability Consulting. All rights reserved.
13. Key Issues
Consider the following when
assessing your product life-cycle:
Use low impact materials and as
few raw materials as necessary.
Address the amount of water
consumed and the quality of
water wasted.
Implement programs such as water
recycling or filter backwash
contamination reduction.

14. Key Issues
Lower energy use by making
production more efficient or by
improving equipment.
In turn this will also reduce waste and
production cost
Improve social sustainability by
ensuring that employees:
Earn a livable wage
Are of legal age to work
Work a reasonable amount of hours

16. Lean Manufacturing
Lean Manufacturing is concerned with “the elimination of
many types of waste while delivering quality products on
time and at least cost” (US EPA, 2005, P. 1). Waste is
defined as any non-value adding elements in the
production process whose removal will reduce operating
costs and improve consumer product quality.

17. The Seven Deadly Wastes
Recognized by Lean Manufacturing
Overproduction The production of goods that do not have an
immediate demand creating risk in storing
and preserving goods.
Inventory The space and resources necessary to store
excess raw materials or overproduction to
ensure that weather, animals, or the
production process does not damage items.
Defects Products that are produced below consumer
standards, wasting materials, energy,
inventory space, and transportation energy
and space.
Transport The excessive movement of a product that is
in the production process or between storage
facilities, wasting fuel, storage, and human
energy.
Motion Any excessive human energy mainly due to
poor organization.
Over-processing The processes during production that
consume more materials and energy than
necessary for the final product.
Waiting The delays or idle time in the production
processes that increase storage spoilage risk
and energy resource consumption.

18. Lean Manufacturing
Lean Manufacturing is a value driven
approach that relies on a system of
continual improvements through the
application of:
Understanding Customer Value
Value Stream Analysis
Flow
Pull
Perfection

19. Lean Manufacturing
Lean Manufacturing relies on a collaborative atmosphere between all
sectors of the manufacturing process to identify waste and develop
solutions. The methods below are often carried out to find these solutions.
Value Stream
Kaizen 5-S
Mapping
• A visual and collaborative • A quick process • Order in the workplace is kept
exercise • Employees map and measure through:
• Employees identify each step in current processes • Sorting
the production process • Then institute solutions and • Setting in order
• Then insert them into a testing • Shining
“production tree” • Improvements must be seen • Standardizing
• Thus seeing clearly at which over only a few days • Sustaining
step waste may occur

20. Lean Manufacturing
Where Lean Manufacturing
falls short:
High susceptibility to disruptions
due to a sudden change in the
production process.
The continual improvement used to
streamline efficiency can create an
inflexible production system.
Fails to address the environmental
value of products.
Also fails to consider the effects that
the production process has on
workers.

22. Six Sigma
Six Sigma is a calculated approach which relies on
verifiable data to improve the success rate of
production processes though defect reduction. The
ultimate goal being to reduce these defects in the
production process to less than 3.4 defective
products per million (Anderson, et. al, 2006).

23. Six Sigma
Application
Involves only five to ten
individuals from both the
manufacturing team and
a team of highly trained
Six Sigma experts.
Takes several months to
a year to pinpoint issues,
construct solutions, and
implement changes.

While this method of reaching
sustainable manufacturing is
more precise than lean

implementation time is off
putting for many manufacturers.

employees can temporarily slow
production rates, as well as The sustainability of the product can

28. Total Quality Management
The goal set out by this method focuses on
achieving system-wide quality improvements and
continually meeting stakeholder demands. By
reducing risk-associated costs, costumer
satisfaction is improved and revenue is driven up.

29. Total Quality Management
Attributes
TQM utilizes a continual
improvement approach
where the focus of these
improvements is flexible.
Flexibility allows for
shifting in order to
foresee future needs and
exceed all future
stakeholder demands.

30. Total Quality Management
Attributes
TQM recognizes specific
failures which derive from
a stagnant improvement
plan such as:
Prevention Costs
Appraisal Costs
Internal Failure Costs
External Failure Costs

31. Factors of Applying TQM
Committed Leadership Long-term commitment by management to TQM
Adoption and Communication Using mission statements and slogans
Closer Customer Relationship Determining customer demands and meeting them
Closer Supplier Relationship Working with suppliers who can routinely provide
materials that will meet customer demands
Benchmarking Observing the best competitive practices
Increased Training TQM principles, team skills, and problem solving
Open Organization Relaxed hierarchy, open communication, and small
working groups
Employee Empowerment Involve employees in planning and decision making
Zero-defects Mentality System to catch defects as they occur, rather than
through inspections
Flexible Manufacturing Just-in-time inventory, cellular manufacturing,
statistical process control and design of experiments
Process Improvement Reduce waste and time through whole process
analysis
Measurement Goal-oriented approach with statistical methods
applied to constant improvements

37. Building a Sustainable Future
Each of the systems that have been discussed are viable
options for manufacturing improvement, but only when aligned
with sustainability concerns. A manufacturer already using Lean
Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or TQM must consider their
environmental and social impacts to achieve sustainability.
