Implementation of Lean Manufacturing Principles in a Vertical Farming System to Reduce Dependency on Human Labour

Abstract: Based on the current trends and projections of population growth and average caloric intake per capita, the world is growing hungrier with every passing decade. Despite the advancements in agriculture techniques, the rising temperature, increasing frequency of natural disasters and changes in global precipitation concentration have negatively affected the yield of agriculture sectors around the world. Adding to the fact that there is a scarcity for labour in farms worldwide, the agriculture sector is facing an… Show more

“…Examples of productivity results generated by applying tools related to operation function (OF): 99.87% efficiency in rice processing and loading [55], 16.52% reduction in total process lead time [58], and better productivity rates through implementation of LP practices [15,54,56]. The same trend of better results is seen when applying tools related to process function (PF): a 15% increase in rate of surviving shrimp after process quality control [53], reduction in processing lead-time [55,58,59,63,67], elimination of tasks and activities that do not add value to the product or process [63][64][65]; improvement in product quality [59,62]; modeling for optimization of results [5,60]; customer satisfaction [66]; reduction in production costs [61]; and reduction in losses and productivity impacts in a broad way [15,54,56].…”

“…Worldwide, bamboo forest area totals 22 million hectares generating over 30 million tons of bamboo fiber per year [2]. Bamboo grows faster unlike normal timber that usually having issues in maintaining their annual crop yield due to longer harvest duration between six to eight months after maturity [3], [4]. Besides, normal timber normally relied on agricultural technologies to reach their sustainable growth [5].…”
