Abstract:

The current modern manufacturing has brought about the concept of sustainability, because of the global worries on resource depletion, environmental degradation, and increase in the cost of operations. Sustainable practices that are being embraced by industries include energy conservation, minimization of wastes and water conservation to meet the environmental stipulation as well as enhance competitiveness. When applied in the context of manufacturing, sustainability can be viewed as an ethical concern as well as a strategy aimed at improving productivity and reducing costs. Wet grinder manufacturing industry is a prosperous industry with associated challenges in terms of utilizing resources and efficiency in its operations. The conventional production methods usually consume a large amount of energy and waste of materials which may cause high cost and environmental implications. The proposed sustainability practices in the sector have the potential to overcome these difficulties through maximum utilization of resources, minimization of waste, and increased performance in operations. Nonetheless, there is weak empirical evidence on the effectiveness of such practices in this industry.
