Abstract

Practicing material efficiency in the manufacturing industry is gaining a high interest among the practitioners due to increasing of material cost and the rise of industrial solid waste issue. However, not all types of manufacturing company are being studied of their material efficiency initiatives and strategies. In this study, we examined the material efficiency strategies in two selected manufacturing case companies -1) Wire and Cable Company, 2) Automotive Glass Company. Qualitative methodology was used to explore their material efficiency insights such as drivers, challenges, and also the proposed material efficiency strategy. This study has drawn out the experiences of both companies on material efficiency strategy adoption. Analytic frameworks are developed for both case companies to practice material efficiency strategy. Perhaps, the derived material efficiency insights could work as a reference to aid other manufacturing company in constructing their favorable solutions to achieve material efficiency.
