“…Hence, energy saving is also considered the most cost-effective method of mitigating GHG emissions [10]. Whereas according to [11], there are still requirements to conduct researches that addressed to energy efficiency agility, both in technological aspects and energy efficiency measures, related with combining agile and sustainable manufacturing concepts.…”

Abstract:Energy use in Indonesia's steel industry accounts for about 20-35% of total production costs. Consequently, energy end-use efficiency is a crucial measure that is used to reduce energy intensity and decrease production costs. This article aims to investigate the relationships among different barriers to energy efficiency improvement (EEI), using a framework with the following six constructs: government policy, the financial-economic factor, the managerial-organizational factor, the technological factor, workforce, and quality and type of feedstock and fuel used. The data were collected from steel firm practitioners in Indonesia, using a questionnaire to test our framework. The results demonstrate that the applied framework was applicable. We find that EEI is moderately influenced by all constructs but that the managerial-organizational factor has the greatest direct effect on improvements and is the most significant factor.

“…This is made possible by constantly adapting, within the structure and methods of operation, to uncertainty and short-term opportunities that arise [13][14][15]. However, it should be remembered that there is a certain trade-off between agility factors, such as quality, innovation, speed, and flexibility, because a manufacturing company cannot achieve all these characteristics at the same time [16].…”

The ability of an organization to be agile, and, therefore, the organizational culture of agility that determines it, is a key characteristic necessary for enterprises to meet the challenges of the requirements of sustainable development under conditions of uncertainty. Uncertainty, in turn, is an inherent feature of achieving the challenging goals of growth and often survival in today’s competitive enterprise market. Analyzing the organization’s ability to be agile, the article includes the results of a study of the productivity of the pasta packaging process in a selected manufacturing company. The main purpose of the article was to identify the factors important for the implementation of the concept of organizational agility and to develop steps to follow the Shu Ha Ri methodology in a pasta packaging company in order to increase production productivity. Based on the data obtained in the form of the number of employees per shift and the amount of packed pasta, significant differences in the productivity of shifts were found, and the challenges of organizational agility were also identified, which include the changing nature of demand, the impact of the state of the machines on the continuity of production, and the occurrence of shortages at the packing stage due to the manual nature of the process. Based on the conducted research and analysis of the tools used in the formation of an agile culture, a proprietary approach to sustainably increase the productivity of the packaging process was proposed using the Shu Ha Ri methodology. The conducted research made it possible to formulate the paradigm of sustainable agility culture and its main dimensions for companies in the food industry.

“…Improving energy efficiency can provide economic benefits by reducing the amount of energy used and the environmental impacts of energy use. According to [2], related with integrating agile and sustainable concepts, there is a need to conduct studies that address innovative energy-efficiency agility, both in technologies and energy-saving measures or practices. Therefore, improving energy efficiency is a crucial means to significantly reduce global, industrial energy end-use and greenhouse gas emission.…”

Abstract:The aim of this paper is to analyze and rank the managerial-organizational barriers to energy efficiency improvement from an industry perspective. To that end, this study utilizes the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology to identify the contextual relationships among the barriers. In a focus group discussion forum, five practitioners from the steel industry were consulted to identify these mutual linkages. The results indicated that five of the eight barriers proposed are in the linkage category. These barriers include that the energy manager or people in charge of energy management lack influence, there are higher priorities to production activity, there is management resistance to change, there is inadequate management capacity, and there are conflicts of interest within the organization. The management should focus more attention on these barriers, because they have both high driving power and dependency. The findings are intended to help managers from manufacturing sectors identify key barriers and thus develop strategic plans to address these issues.
