“…The decision-making process requires complex methods to deal with several and frequently opposite goals, objectives and criteria; MCDM provides a systematic approach and performs a good fit to dealing with these conditions (Zayat et al, 2023). This approach is a good fit for LM due to greater accuracy, simplicity of application and superior outcomes (Alexander and Saleeshya, 2022).…”

“…AHP was proposed by Saaty (1980) and is a remarkable model widely used, this approach allows complex problems to be decomposed into a hierarchy and establishes a pairwise comparison to rank priorities and preferences. The application domain points related to lean assessment, comparative analysis of industrial leanness index, performance and sustainability performance measurement (Alexander and Saleeshya, 2022). This model presented strengths such as adaptability with different objectives, a wide range of application areas, judgments with consistency measured and suitable, simple and flexible decision models (Jamwal et al, 2021).…”

“…Analytic Network Process was also proposed by Saaty (1980) and is a generalization of AHP, which replaces a hierarchical structure with a network structure to analyze the relationships between decision elements (Alexander and Saleeshya, 2022;Zayat et al, 2023). The Best Worst Method was proposed by Rezaei (2015), and the comparison criteria are the best and worst approaches (Zayat et al, 2023).…”

PurposeIn response to mounting global concerns about climate change and scarcity of natural resources, manufacturers have been pressured to develop strategies and enhance their sustainability performance. The integration of sustainable lean manufacturing (SLM) during value chain processes could balance environmental, social and economic concerns into their decision-making, which not only ensures responsible practices but also drives efficiency and success. This paper aims to identify, measure and prioritize metrics to develop a performance measurement system that assesses the multi-dimensional performance of SLM.Design/methodology/approachStrategic decision-making has some conflicting criteria and objectives to be considered simultaneously. The Multi-Criteria Decision Making provides a foundation for selecting, sorting and prioritizing these strategies with the determination of drivers and indicator weight.FindingsThe performance model enables the decision-makers to consistently evaluate the level of sustainability through a multidimensional framework, which could support the assessment of the existing sustainability of a manufacturing process and analyze opportunities for improvement. This study divided the performance into five drivers: Quality, Operational, Finance, Environment, Safety and People and selected 17 KPIs for assessing the multi-dimensional performance of SLM organizations. The research results revealed an organization's perspective transition from strategies focused on operational and economic performance to a more sustainable ideal with greater importance for social and environmental directions.Originality/valueThis framework will be facilitated by the selection of the most significant drivers and the development of strategic plans for the successful adoption of sustainable manufacturing. The practices support implementation, pursue competitive advantages and sustain manufacturing, meeting strategic requirements of suitable and lean performance. With the limited resources of the organizations, the framework proposed will guide the priorities and actions to be taken toward the SLM.

“…Therefore, a problem statement proposed is as follows: currently, at Company ER's milk factory, the main effort is on implementing the automated transition to aid their increased throughput, leading to a valuable opportunity for improvements in the processes' effectiveness, accomplished by developing solutions to reduce waste within the system to reach the targeted 85% OEE goal. Although there have been several studies that apply lean tools to improve manufacturing processes (Alexander and Saleeshya, 2022), this paper differs from existing studies in the literature as it focuses on improving automated pallet handling processes. Another point where the proposed study differs from the studies in the literature is the use of value stream mapping (VSM), single minute exchange of dies (SMED) and DMADV to improve the OEE.…”

PurposeSaudi Arabia's 2030 vision targets an increase of 34% in non-oil revenue participation in the GDP, thus the need for automation and digital transformation. The Company ER is a market leader producing high-quality dairy products in the Kingdom and is a pioneer in the production industry. The company has recently increased the capacity of its milk factory to meet its vision. An investment was made to automate the pallet handling procedures at the milk factory to provide increased production for daily consumption. The new automation transition in Company ER's milk factory provides a unique opportunity to utilize lean management tools to improve the current automated processes before commercialization.Design/methodology/approachOEE (overall equipment effectiveness) will monitor losses for different operational losses in the new automated system and indicate system improvements, with 85% as the target. Based on DMADV (design, measure, analyze, design and validate) methodology, this study analyzes the entire automated pallet handling system. It uses lean tools to identify areas for improvement, identify waste elements and propose solutions to achieve Company ER's OEE targets.FindingsIn this paper, the outcomes will be presented as documented solutions that address the losses encountered in the production system, showing a 12.8% increase in the system's OEE.Research limitations/implicationsOwing the time and resource constraint, this study only involved automated pallet handling procedures in a milk production facility. Hence, the generalization of the result is slightly limited. More studies in several different processes and sectors are required.Practical implicationsThis study provided a valuable tool for researchers for gaining deeper understanding regarding the lean manufacturing and its implementation. For practitioners, it is useful to evaluate the degree of lean manufacturing tools in their material handling systems.Originality/valueThis study is the first attempt to develop lean manufacturing constructs for evaluating the automated pallet handling procedures in a milk production facility.
