Abstract: the cement plant has many environmental aspect that can lead to pollution. For managing this effects
we must use of environmental and productivity technique to minimize this effects. In this study, the Kurdistan
cement plant as a case study had studied by use of two important technique: green productivity and
environmental management systems as ISO. For there more, this plant environmental aspect had identified by
brainstorming and specialist opinion. Then those causes are specified and for each one proposed an option for
controlling it. Finally in order to applying this options, these are prioritized by ranking them. The spraying
water on dust from mining and transportation is first option to applying.
Keywords–green productivity, environmental management system, cement plant, environmental aspect
I. Introduction
In the context of debate on the considerable human and material damage generated by environmental
degradation, the role of the environmental performance of companies merits attention [1]. To identify the main
factors able to influence the maturity of the environmental management practiced by each organisation [2]. The
maturity of the environmental management of companies concerns the environmental level or stage of evolution
in the environmental management of the companies [3]. This environmental maturity (EMM) may be influenced
by many factors, not only technical (e.g., „cleaner‟ technologies) but also organisational and human, related to
the motivation and training of employees to achieve the goals of environmental management, leading companies
to better environmental maturity [4, 5, 6]. Among the organisational and human factors relevant to
environmental management, environmental training (ET) stands out as one of the most relevant ones [7, 5, 8].
And paradoxically as one that has received less attention from experts [9].
Green Productivity and Environmental Management Systems are complementary systems and both help
improve the environmental performance of an organization. GP is an analytical methodology to help identify
opportunities to prevent pollution and improve productivity, especially resource productivity. GP uses a number
of different analytical tools, but it does not require development of a specific management structure or
documentation. The process specifies how an organization can review its operations to look for waste and poor
resource productivity, but is not a comprehensive set of policies or procedures for an organization[10].
An EMS in contrast, is a management system designed to help identify environmental impacts and implement
improvements. An EMS consists of policies and procedures to help minimise a company‟s impacts on the
environment on a routine basis. An EMS does dictate how to improve performance, but provides an internal
system to manage environmental performance and to ensure continual improvement. Successful
implementation of an EMS will require the use of analytical methodologies such as GP, but EMS itself is not an
analytical tool. Rather it is a process for ensuring a company takes action to continually improve its
environmental performance.
The GP assessment methodology works within the framework of an EMS to help a company concentrate on
opportunities to prevent pollution and improve material productivity. The process of developing and running a
GP program for several „cycles‟ is an excellent foundation for developing a broader EMS. To move from GP to
EMS appropriate documentation needs to be developed and the GP assessment practices needs to be integrated
into the company‟s daily operations (eg. add audit procedures to operation manuals, adjust job descriptions). In
addition, the scope of environmental assessment activities may need to be broadened. Although the GP
methodology can be used in any part of a company, many organizations use it primarily for manufacturing
areas. A complete EMS however requires a company to address all the potential environmental impacts in all
departments. This would include office areas, transportation, storage and even product distribution.

2.2 Methods
The methodology of the project broadly followed the GP methodology introduced by the Asian Productivity
Organization (APO) and the ISO 14001 standard requirements to establish an Environmental Management
System. The GP methodology was used as a foundation for implementing ISO 14001 in KurdistanCement
Company. In this way the methodology diverges from the traditional GP methodology. Each step of
methodology has been further divided in to a number of tasks as follow:
Step 1: Getting Started
Task 1: GP – EMS team formation
GP methodology is based on a participatory approach, where by environmental management and solutions are
carried out by a team of employees. It is necessary, when initiating a GP process that management sponsors
and facilitates team formation in the relevant departments, and that roles within these teams are assigned and
resources are provided to undertake their responsibilities. These roles should focus on the skills and
experiences of the employees, in relation to their role within the enterprise. A broad range of members that are
involved in the widest verity of processes and tasks is optimum. The teams should encourage all levels of
employees to input into the process. A steering committee is also necessary to oversee the program, which
should have representation from both internal and external personnel. External personal may include members
of organisations who are providing technical advice as well as from other effected parties, for instance the local
community.
Task 2: Walk through survey of the production process
A preliminary audit of the business should be undertaken, that compiles basic information about the resources
available and the processes involved. It will include such information as personnel, machinery, equipment and
processes. It will also briefly detail possible sources of environmental problem or areas of inefficient use of
resources. It should include a flow diagram of the processes involved as well as all inputs and outputs,
including waste and products.
Step 2: Planning
Task 3: Training on GP methodology and ISO 14000 standard.
The objective of the training workshop was to train the senior management of the cement factory on GP
methodology and Environmental Management System. The following topics were covered in the training:
GP methodology tools and techniques
Environmental Management System according to ISO 14001 standard (awareness and documentation).
Identification of problems and causes/environmental legal and other requirements, Aspect and impacts.
Generation, evaluation and prioritisation of GP options;
Task 4: Identification of Problems and Causes
Building on the preliminary audit an in depth discussion of the areas that require improvement is undertaken.
Identifying and recording specific problems is carried out using analysis techniques including brainstorming to
locate and then pinpoint the cause of problems existing in the system.
Task 5: Setting Objectives and Targets
After identifying the problems and their causes, it is necessary to set objectives and targets to ameliorate them.
Objectives should be based on problems and causes identified.
One objective can have multiple targets.
Targets should be based on „needs‟.
Indicators should be established to track the progress of each objective.
It is necessary to prioritise the problems, with relation to their feasibility, costs and the resources and
technologies that are available.
Step 3: Generation, Evaluation and Prioritisation of GP Options
3. Environmental Management System And Green Productivity (EMS_GP) Implementation In Kurdistan
www.ijbmi.org 3 | Page
Task 6: Generation of GP Options
The most significant task in GP methodology relates to the development of GP options. These options emerge
directly from the cause analysis. The use of techniques such as brainstorming and group discussions improve the
quality of ideas. A logical approach to generating options is as follows:
Establishing a brainstorming exercise for generating options, based on the identification of causative
factors,
Determine the nature of the solution required.
Task 7: Screening, Evaluation and Prioritisation of GP options
Not all GP options generated need a detailed evaluation. Some of the GP options can be eliminated on the basis
of certain criteria, or by the process of screening. GP implementation at community level has many different
features in comparison with other sectors, especially in technical skill and funding fields. That is why these
options need to be carefully evaluated; otherwise the success of GP options may be negligible. The option
evaluation needs to directly relate to feasibility. This includes technology, economic viability (rate of turnover
from investment, payback period), environmental aspects and social aspects.
After assessing the option based on this criteria the options may be divided into 3 categories:
Options to be applied. These options are usually inexpensive, efficient and easy to implement and maintain.
Options needing further analysis. These options usually require a significant financial investment and/or the
expected outcomes are not clear.
Options which are not suitable. These options are usually very expensive and complicated. Often technical
expertise that is not present within the organisation would be required, even after project implementation for
maintenance.
Step 4: Implementation of GP Options
Task 8: Formulation of GP plan
The development of a document that considers important logistical aspects of GP implementation is required.
Some topics in the GP plan will include finances, resources, technology and timeframe. The implementation
plan should also contain a detailed activity plan, input, required time frame and the persons responsible for
implementation. It may combine the work of various GP teams in different sections.
A plan will be most effectively implemented if all members involved in the implementation are interested and
aware of all the factors involved. The GP team needs to answer the following questions when designing the
plan.
What needs to be done?
What is the timetable for implementation?
Who will be responsible for each task?
How will each option be implemented?
How/Where will equipment and expertise be sourced?
What support is available (are there others have implemented in a similar industry, or is other external
technical advice available)?
Task 9: Implementation of selected Options
The GP team together with experts and the support of the management strata implement all steps detailed in the
implementation plan. Training needs should be identified and provided where required.
Task 10: Training, awareness building and developing competence
The provision of training may cover a broad range of topics. It will be required for the GP – EMS teams in the
methodology and environmental management strategies EMS internal audit, but also for those on site using
equipment and procedures that may be altered in the GP process. The degree of training required will vary
between GP options and may also take a variety of forms from formal seminars to informal on the spot
instruction. Some options will require no training, implementation can be immediately and others may require a
significant training period. Options will therefore be implemented at various stages. Some options may be
interdependent.
Step 5: Monitoring and Review
Task 11: Monitoring and Evaluation of Results
The monitoring and evaluation of GP options is an important task in the project cycle. It enables a comparison
to be made between the objectives and the outcomes of the project. Project coordinators from the VPC have a
responsibility to review the project, and external experts are also invited to evaluate these results. Any problems
identified within the project need to be assessed and possible solutions identified. Monitoring should be an
ongoing task of a GP program, it should occur at all stages of implementation, ensuring that problems are
identified and solved as soon as possible. The aim of GP projects is to achieve sustainability, which is only
possible if problems are identified and if possible solved quickly.
4. Environmental Management System And Green Productivity (EMS_GP) Implementation In Kurdistan
www.ijbmi.org 4 | Page
Task 12: Management review
Management reviews are necessary to evaluate the progress of the GP project. All activities must be recorded
during the implementation of project for future reference. After implementation, management together with the
steering committee must examine the GP program to determine how effective the project has been at meeting
the specified objectives. When reviewing, management will look at the final report and other ongoing
documentation from the project.
Step 6: Sustaining GP
Task 13: Incorporating changes into the organization’s system of management
GP cannot exist in isolation. It needs to be integrated with regular activities of the management and day-to-day
functioning of the enterprise. Therefore, all employees need to be familiar with the activities and objectives of
the GP program. Participation of the workforce as well as consultation with other interested parties, including
the community in which the industry is based is an important factor contributing to the long-term sustainability
of GP. One way to ensure that GP becomes a regular activity is to document and enforce procedures within each
work area.
Task 14: Identifying new/ additional problem areas for continualimprovement
Once the first cycle of GP is complete within the organisation, the procedures and knowledge should be in place
so that the cycle may be repeated. Green Productivity system specifically designed to facilitate continuous
improvement.
Tools
2.4.1 Management Tools
GP tools provide information on the equipment and devices utilized in implementing GP plans. One of the most
essential elements in GP tools is brainstorming, a process in which ideas are generated from answering critical
questions such as: “What are solutions to reduce dust generation? What is the best choice?” The more people
involved in the brainstorming process, the greater the amount of quality ideas will be available. The best choice
will be selected from a number of solutions. The process flow was a useful tool to see in the detail of each
activity to find out where the waste generated and understand whole the production process. This tool can
identified exactly where have problem.
Equally important to brainstorming is the fish bone diagram, also known as a cause-and-effect diagram. It
displays all the possible reasons and causes that contribute to a specific result. This diagram is used in the
solving most problems, particularly in large-scale problems that have resulted from a number of causes and are
related to a number of activities. Therefore, the fish bone diagram plays a crucial role in pinpointing problems in
order to solve them.
A matrix is often set up to rate the feasibility of a number of options. Not all options are selected for
implementation, due to the difference in priorities. Those options, which are significant and applicable, will
have the first and foremost priorities. Similarly, the less difficult and low-cost options also have advantages over
the more difficult and high-cost ones. In fact, it is not so easy to classify the priorities of options because the
most urgent ones often requires high costs for implementation while the inexpensive ones are not so applicable.
2.4.2 Environment Tools
As one of the two components making up GP tools, environmental tools, often called technical tools require a
number of specific skills such as good housekeeping, solid waste management, wastewater treatment, air
pollution treatment, mass balance and process flow.
Good housekeeping aims to minimize wastes, prevent the loss of material water pollution and money for a
company. This tool requires the involvement of all individuals together, forming a cohesive company. If each
member of the company takes responsibility for using the right way of oil, material transportation as well as rag
oil, the pollution by company contributed to environment will consequently be reduced.
GP tools also focus on oil contamination in wastewater, dust generation and solid waste management. Solid
waste are often collected and separated to hazard waste, recyclable and non-recyclable waste before delivery for
treatment.
III. Result and discussion

IV. Conclusion
Technology development altered range of human life. However, due to the lack of consistency harmful effects
of technology on the natural interaction, gradually turning the control vital imbalance actually suffered the
effects of these disorders will be affect the man as part of nature. At the global level, especially in developing
countries, issues such as population growth, economic and cultural poverty and lack of environmental programs,
they will be broader problem of environmental conservation. In our country to find a reasonable and effective
solution of all harmful agents in the environment must be identified and evaluated. Then measures and by taking
them to a comprehensive environmental management plan be developed at the country level. So, in order to
improve the quality of the environment in Kurdistan Cement Factory, two techniques, environmental
management systems and green productivity are integrated. Therefore, the first step to form a team and then
identify environmental problems techniques and environmental causes of them in the factory and then to solve
these problems strategies proposed by the executive team and the experts in the field using the options suggested
took priority. It was found that the priorities of options water splashing on the rocks before loading and
unloading of the highest priority and should be in the field adopt necessary measures.the proposed solutions
were prioritized.
