TextSeries: ENGINEERING DISTINGUISHED PROJECTS 2019Publication details: Giza : MSA, 2019.Description: 185 pSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: In this project, the aim is to form a measuring model of sustainability in manufacturing
enterprises which can be reliable for evaluating the performance of the enterprise. The
focus of the research to reach this model was on social and environmental sustainability
as firms usually direct more concern towards economic aspect of the sustainability. The
proposed assessment framework was used to evaluate sustainability in a plastic irrigation
pipes plant. It was found that the plant needs improvements in several aspects; first was
filtration of water used in plastic washing tanks to reduce waste of water and improve
environmental sustainability. Secondly, social sustainability can be improved through
adding a safety shutdown mechanism for plastic shredding machine and proposing a
ventilation system for plastic recycling department in addition to placing posters for
work-related health and safety. The third aspect is related to economic sustainability
regarding enterprise productivity which can be improved through upgrading perforator
and insertion machines that formed bottlenecks for the production line. Finally,
sustainability is re-evaluated in the selected enterprise to observe the changes created by
the implemented solutions.
