Employing 3R techniques in managing cement industry waste

Abstract EN

Waste management conserves human health, ownership, environment, and keeps valuable natural resources.

Lean-green waste of an organization’s operations can be decreased through implementation 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycling) techniques by reduction of manufacturing system wastes.

This research aims to integrate lean-green waste of the manufacturing system throughout employing 3R techniques and weighted properties method in order to manage waste.

Al-Kufa cement plant is employed as a case study.

Results are generated using Edraw Max Version 7 and Excel.

Overall results show reduce technique of lean-green waste management has major contribution of 55 % and recycling technique has minor contribution 18 %.

Defects waste has major integration of lean-green waste, while air emissions waste has minor integration of lean-green waste.
