Reduce Carbon Emissions of Logistic Transportation Using Eight Steps Approach in Indonesian Automotive Industry

Abstract

The global competition encourages Indonesia to advance the economy, especially in manufacturing by implementing sustainable manufacturing. Companies must consider transportation costs and concern for the environment due to the large increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the increase in NOx, Particulate, and various other harmful pollutants. Emissions from transportation activities cause global climate change and damage air quality and human health in regional and urban areas. At the same time, the movement of empty containers can result in air pollution due to CO2 emissions which have a negative impact on sustainable development. This study aims to reduce carbon emissions in the logistics transportation chain in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry. The method used is the Eight Step Approach. The method used is systematic and structured from defining the problem to standardizing improvements. Analysis of the causes of the problem and proposed improvements are determined by Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with expert judgment. The source of the data obtained comes from field observations, FGD, company reports from 2019 to 2021. This research has proven that reducing carbon emissions has an impact on company profits. The largest decrease was contributed by improvements in transportation routes. The ratio of reducing carbon emissions by 2020 is 2.6% or an increase in efficiency compared to the previous year.

Optimisation of the Partial Runner Set-up Process in Plastic Injection Moulds Using Eight Steps in the Motorcycle Industry

“…This research method uses the 8-Step method, including determining themes, setting targets, analysing conditions, analysing problems, planning countermeasures, and evaluating results and conclusions (Suratno and Ichtiarto, 2021). This study uses the primary data needed, among others, partial mould setup time data, field observation data, and interview data.…”

Reduce Transportation Costs Using the Milk-run System and Dynamo Stages in the Vehicle Manufacturing Industry

“…Indirectly, this condition causes losses to the company such as the high operating costs of the company. Industrial growth in this globalization era requires companies to implement various kinds of improvements to save operational costs and must be able to improve performance and competitiveness to excel in competition in the global market (Klenk & Galka, 2019;Suratno & Ichtiarto, 2021). This will certainly trigger competition among industry players and have an impact on the supplier industry.…”

Influence Mechanism of Smart City Innovation on Green Supply Chain Network Efficiency

“…Green development is an important direction of the logistics industry. However, the logistics supply chain faces extremely severe problems like pollution and energy consumption, owing to the high energy consumption, high pollution, and high emissions in the traditional logistics industry [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. That is why the green supply chain came into being.…”
