ABSTRACT
Sustainable
production is a concept where companies integrate economic,
social and environmental concerns into their business
operation/conduct. The paper is designed to present recent
developments in developing effective sustainability concept
for case study manufacturing industries in general and
cement industry in particular for Libya. The objective is to
achieve the much desired profitability with enhanced
competitive edge over competitors. Based on an overview of
integration tools it demonstrates that how a witness
optimization model is developed and validated to clearly
show that parts needs changing and breakdowns need
recovering for sustainable production and environmental
protection. Interesting results based upon a case study
industry single machine that disregards the influence of the
labor force to show dire need for employee involvement with
the help of autonomous software are presented to reach
required levels of maintenance efficiency as technology has
to inform management and management has to use technology to
carry out tasks.
