“…Waste elimination can contribute to the improvement in productivity and quality of the manufacturing process [15]. While increased productivity and quality will also contribute to profit growth [16]. On the other hand, green practice can resolve the difficulties related to its contribution to environmental and social.…”

This study aims to identify the lever integration factors of lean and green in achieving sustainable Small and Medium Industries (SMIs) cosmetics using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM). The sustainable development of Cosmetics SMI grouped into four dimensions, namely the dimensions of manufacturing operations and the economy as part of the lean principle, the environment, and social consciousness as indicators of the green concept. The four dimensions described into 17 lean and green trigger factors based on literature studies and interviews of 5 experts. This study explores the conceptual relationship between the seventeen drivers by using a questionnaire and modeling it in the form of an ISM hierarchy model. Based on MICMAC analysis, HR welfare factors influence elements of soundness level and encourage the performance of manufacturing operation and environment factors. In the end, the relationship between lean and green factors will increase the SMIs Cosmetics income in micro and national tax revenue in macro. This study also proposes four strategies to be carried out by the SMIs owner-manager to improve the performance of lean and green.

“…On the other side, the green concept answers the demands and necessity of industry to create environmentally friendly manufacturing processes that follow both ecological and social perspectives and not just economic profit [3,4]. Thus, integrating these two concepts is a necessity for developing sustainable production processes: improving productivity increases economic benefit [5], while focussing on the triple bottom line (people-profit-planet) improves sustainability ( [6][7][8]).…”

Technological innovations aim to improve manufacturing processes. In recent times, ever-increasing attention to economic, social and above all, environmental sustainability, suggests that technological innovations are techniques not only for reducing costs but also for improving company sustainability. This includes the foundry industry, which is presented with the need for technological changes that improve processes but also satisfy environmental and climate regulations. This case study attempts to analyse the technological changes necessary not only to optimise production processes but also to make them more sustainable. Starting from the introduction of a new production process that aims to reduce environmental impact, the necessary plant changes are analysed. These changes concern various areas: the introduction of new machinery, lean techniques for inventory management and management modes of production waste material. The paper analyses these changes and demonstrates the need to act in several areas to make a production process that is sustainable from an economic, social and environmental point of view.

“…Lean manufacturing is emerging as one of the top manufacturing approaches in the early part of this millennium (Rishi et al , 2012). Bhamu and Sangwan (2014) and AlManei et al (2017) argued that the goal of lean manufacturing is to be highly responsive to customer demand by reducing waste and improving operating efficiency.…”

“…Globally, numerous manufacturing and service organizations are incorporating lean techniques to identify waste, eliminate non-value added (NVA) activities and increase efficiency. Some small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have also incorporated lean principles, yet others remain laggards (Deranek et al , 2017; Rishi et al , 2012; Sa’udah et al , 2015; Antosz and Stadnicka, 2017; Sahoo and Yadav, 2018). Matt and Rauch (2013) argued that for many small enterprises between 10 and 49 employees the application of lean manufacturing could be one important step to increase the productivity and to be more competitive in the market.…”

“…Some of these tools and techniques include value stream mapping, 5S workplace organization, total productive maintenance, set-up reduction, Kanban and pull production methods, cellular manufacturing, visual signals and process standardization (Sundar et al , 2014; Zahraee et al , 2014; Sahoo and Yadav, 2018). Lean tools, for example, 5S, quality circle, quality control, visual show and standardization are a low cost investment techniques which attainable to execute in SMEs (Rishi et al , 2012).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to redesign the layout of production floor by considering lean manufacturing in order to eliminate the waste and using Block Layout Overview with Layout Planning (BLOCPLAN) algorithm to attain new layout of facilities in Indonesian home-food industry. Design/methodology/approach The common problems that might be appearing in home-food industry, especially in the developing countries like Indonesia are unstandardized production process and unorganized work environment which could produce the waste. One of many solutions to handle this problem is improving the work area (work station) in production floor by rearranging and designing standard operating procedure (SOP) by using lean manufacturing concept. The initial data to minimize the waste is motion time study (data) to identify production standard time. The next step is identifying the common waste(s). Meanwhile, the production floor layout used in this research is designed by using BLOCPLAN algorithm. Findings The recommendation of shop floor facility layout is based on identified waste, which is excess transportation. Subsequently, standard operational procedure (SOP) is developed to support the recommended facility layout as the reference for cookie production process so it can minimize the waste. Research limitations/implications Lean concept is one of method that is widely implemented to reduce the occurrence of defective products and waste that do not provide added value. Based on previous researches, it was found that the concept of lean manufacturing can be applied in various types of service and manufacturing industries, both large companies and small and medium enterprises. Home-food industry competition nowadays is getting intense. This condition makes the stakeholders (of home-food industry, especially in Indonesia) need high performance and productivity to keep their business stable in winning the competition. The new layout can reduce the disadvantages of actual condition. Practical implications This research is useful for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia especially for home-food industry. The BLOCPLAN layout (as the recommendation) has displacement moment with reduction of 40 percent. Social implications This research believed that it can help SMEs improve their productivity in producing cake and cookies in terms of better layout which can reduce worker movement and standardized working procedure. The design of the production facility layout is a method used to rearrange the production process area so that the distance between processes can be minimized. SOPs was provided as the direction and supervision of workers to work according to standards. Originality/value SOP design can support recommended layout as the reference on making the cake (product) to eliminate wastes, which are motion/movement (alternating in production process flow) and long waiting time due to process delays.
