“…But from past few years, the expansion of industry has led to a significant increase in both the need for energy and carbon emissions (Sagar et al, 2023). And manufacturing is responsible for most of the carbon emissions globally (Bin et al, 2023) but manufacturing sector plays a vital role in driving economic advancement for every nation across the globe (Trevino-Martinez et al, 2022). The use of resources at non-sustainable rate has forced the governments to impose strict environmental regulations on the manufacturing industries to safeguard the environment.…”

In modern-day industries, the presence of bottleneck processes, where the throughput capacity falls short of the workload, can result in reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption, and higher production costs. Such inefficiencies are deemed unacceptable in today’s highly competitive market, coupled with stringent environmental regulations. To address these challenges, many industries have adopted lean and green manufacturing concepts to enhance workflow and environmental performance. This research paper integrates bottleneck analysis with carbon footprinting, specifically employing the EFBA (Energy Focussed Bottleneck Analysis) approach, to identify and eliminate bottlenecks and high energy consumption within the machining section of a press manufacturing industry. The study focuses on improving the setup time, machining time, and carbon footprint associated with the boring operation of the journal head. By implementing the proposed approach, significant improvements were achieved, with setup time reduced by 108 min, machining time reduced by 64 min, and carbon dioxide emissions reduced by 32.2 kg. These outcomes highlight the effectiveness of the integrated EFBA-based methodology in enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of the manufacturing process. The findings of this study offer valuable insights and practical implications for other industries seeking to optimize their production systems, reduce energy consumption, and minimize carbon emissions. By identifying and addressing bottlenecks through a combined bottleneck analysis and carbon footprinting approach, companies can enhance their operational productivity while promoting sustainability in line with environmental regulations and market demands.
