Abstract

In the realm of industrial development, steel has consistently played a pivotal role due to its extensive applications. This research aims to refine the process of steel plate manufacturing, focusing on reducing waste as a critical step towards embracing sustainable development and aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our approach integrates a hybrid analytical model grounded in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to thoroughly investigate the waste-producing elements in steel plate production. The methodology of this study is structured in a three-pronged approach, as follows: Initially, it involves meticulous on-site inspections across various factories to pinpoint potential sources of waste. Subsequently, we employ the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to intricately analyze the interconnectedness and impact of various risk factors. The final phase utilizes the Performance Calculation technique within the Integrated Multiple Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (PCIM-MADM) framework for aggregating and evaluating risk scores. This multifaceted approach aids in establishing the priorities for corrective actions aimed at waste reduction. Our findings present innovative solutions for identifying and mitigating critical waste factors, contributing to a more efficient and sustainable steel manufacturing process. These strategies promise scalability and adaptability for broader industrial applications and provide critical insights into resource optimization. This research directly supports the objectives of SDG 9, which focuses on building resilient infrastructure and promoting sustainable industrialization. Furthermore, it resonates with SDG 12, advocating for sustainable consumption and production patterns. By enhancing the efficiency and cost effectiveness of steel plate production, this study significantly contributes to minimizing waste and elevating the sustainability of industrial practices.
