1) Green manufacturing aims to minimize waste and pollution through product and process design in order to support future generations and attain sustainability. 2) It works by rethinking technology, exploring market potential, supplying goods/services, extending producer responsibility, reducing energy use, and integrating environmental costs. 3) A real world example is using corn to produce biodegradable plastics like PHA instead of petroleum-based plastic, with the process involving growing, extracting, fermenting, washing, and drying corn into a bioplastic powder.

1. MANUFACTURING
EXCELLENCE FOR
FUTURE PRODUCTION
PERSPECTIVE

2. Importance and Dilemma of
Today‟s Manufacturing

3. Vital Importance
• Basic means of human
existence
• Major contributor to the creation
of the wealth of a nation
• Contributes to human happiness
and to world peace

4. Manufacturing Dilemma
Today
1) Maturity and saturation of
industrial products
2) De-industrialization or industrial
hollowness
3) Unattractiveness of
employment in manufacturing
4) Environmental effect

6. 1) Proposal for Manufacturing
Excellence
 Expressing the enhancement
condition of goods production
 Eliminate:
Hollowing production
3k => kitanai (dirty), kitsui (hard
work) and kiken (dangerous)
Environmental problem

7. 2) Manufacturing Culture
 Combination of conceptual ,intellectual activities
and ideas with human relationship.
 Also called restructuring of goods production
(relate with human working condition)
 Difference between:
 Manufacturing Excellence => Describe
enhancement and elegance of goods production
 Manufacturing Culture => Throw away Culture
(mass production, mass disposal, mass
consumption)

8. 3) Cultural/Civilised Production
Mode of human activity
applicable to all over the world
(Kimura, 1992)
Now, Cultural Production can
mean manufacturing based upon
modern science and technology

11. What Is Green
Manufacturing?
• Green manufacturing is a
method for manufacturing that
minimizes waste and pollution.
These goals are often achieved
through product and process
design.

12. Goal of Green
Manufacturing
• The purpose is to support future
generations by attaining
sustainability by the means of
preserving natural resources.

13. Obstacles
• Businesses have a responsibility
of influence
• Prices of raw material and
subsidized energy are essential
• Lack of availability and
information

14. Obstacles (2 of 2)
• High-profile leadership
• Training programs need more
support
• Accessibility to loans from the
government
• National cleaner production
centers need to be established

15. How It Works
1) Rethink product and process
technology
2) Explore the market potential
3) Supply goods and services
4) Extend producer responsibility

16. How It Works (2 of 2)
1) Reduce energy consumption
2) Integrate promotion
3) Incorporate goals
4) Promote development
5) Integrate environmental costs (

17. Real World Example
• The need for fossil fuels has
lead to discoveries of different
methods of manufacturing that
replace renewable resources.

18. Real World Example
 Petroleum.
• Fossil fuel base for plastic.
• Can be replaced by plants.
»Corn can be fermented into
polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA).
»Final product is synthesized
biologically and completely
biodegradable.
• Fast food and packaging industry use
polystyrene which has similar
characteristics as PHA.

19. Real World Example –
How It Works
 Corn is grown and harvested
 Transported to manufacturing plant
 Glucose extracted and fermented
 Cells are washed and spun in
centrifuge twice
 Concentrated and dried into powder

20. Summary
• “Green production is a preventive
strategy that aims at promoting the
use and the development of cleaner,
processes, products, and services”.
• “A key to more sustainable
development is long-term structural
changes in the way our economies
work”.

21. Socially Appropriate
Production as Ultimate
Manufacturing
Excellence

22. Collapse of Production-
Firstism
• Manufacturing activities commonly expect
to consume huge amounts of natural
resources.
• Manufacturing brought about mass
production, mass consumption, and mass
disposal.
• Resulting in great fear of complete
exhaustion of natural resources and
energy and destruction of Earth.

23. Socially Appropriate Manufacturing
Through the Satisfaction-
consciousness Principle
 Human are now largely responsible for
environmental issues of sustaining our
Earth.
 Excessive production has to stop and
profits must contribute to public welfare
or humankind will no longer able to live.
 Chinese said that „the man who realizes
that he is satisfied is spiritually wealthy‟

24. Satisfaction-consciousness
Production/Consumption and
Minimum Disposal
• Traditional mass production must be
replace with this satisfaction-conscious
production.
• Only durable products are produces in
amounts as small as society requires.
• Ultimate „manufacturing excellence‟ should
be vision of future management strategy of
each individual manufacturing firm.

25. Manufacturing Ethics
• Satisfaction-conscious production is not
easy, it will be attained by recognition of
„manufacturing ethics‟
Spirit of capitalism based upon the
ethics of Protestantism in the West
Spirit of Buddhism/Confucianism in the
Orient
• Latter idea has contributed to the economics
and industrial developments of Asian
countries but rate of adopting the ethical
codes in the West is higher
