Cleaner production and drinking water: Perspectives from a scientometric and systematic analysis for a sustainable performance

In this study, Cleaner Production (CP) strategy and Carbon Emission Pinch Analysis (CEPA) were used to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emission generated in printing industry. CP audit was conducted in a printing premise to quantify the consumption of materials and energy, waste generated and other aspect such as safety and productivity. The amount of CO2 emission generated from the operations and activities in the premise was estimated to identify key issues. Subsequently, CP options were identified to overcome the issues. Feasibility studies were conducted for each option identified to evaluate the reduction of CO2 emission and monetary returns. The study revealed that a total of 0.8 kg CO2 emission was generated per kg of paper processed, where electricity consumption was the main contributor. A total of eight CP options were identified and evaluated to reduce CO2 emission generated from the electricity consumption and solid waste generation. Implementations of the suggested CP options are expected to potentially reduce the CO2 emission to 0.7 tons CO2/kg of processed paper, which is a reduction of 78%. The CEPA study also demonstrated that a saving of 211,194 kWh/month of electricity and a reduction of CO2 emission of 141.5 tons/month (68%) from the total emission of 209 tons/month could be achieved. There are four CP options can be implemented without any cost incurred, with expected CO2 emission reduction of 96.5 tons/month. Hence, the case study proves that it is possible to reduce CO2 emission in printing premise by implementing CP and CEPA.

By relying on cleaner production (CP), companies can simultaneously cut pollution and increase the efficiency of resource use. Governments at all levels in China have invested substantial resources to encourage companies to adopt CP. We investigate what these government efforts have accomplished by examining fourteen case-study companies' responses to CP requirements of city-level government CP programmes in Changzhou and Nantong. Types of company responses can be divided into four categories: complete CP audit adopter, one-time CP audit adopter for assessing an existing technology renovation plan or addressing known pollution violation, pro forma CP audit adopter, and CP audit report producer. Based on our case-study data, the following variables appear to be correlated with companies that are complete CP adopters: leadership commitment to CP; a strong monitoring and management system; an internal system for generating innovations and improvements; and, a high degree of integration of multiple functions such production, R&D, and environmental protection.

The article contains the results of research on the problems of integration of information and management processes in the management system of a modern enterprise. The issues of creation and implementation of information systems in enterprise management are considered. The following options are explored: the formation of a single management information system in accordance with certain management and information flows; automation and digitalization of the control system; integration of existing information systems in accordance with management processes. The role of the information factor in management processes is relevant. The huge amount of information, the need for its filtering and processing determines the development of rational management methods using integrated information systems. Such systems provide the ability to digitize enterprise management. Various theoretical and practical studies in such areas as data digitization, digitization of management, automation of management processes show that modern information technology allows you to create a single information environment management. Such an integrated system works as a single organism in accordance with the triggers and management events and can be used both for the enterprise as a whole and for its individual units and activities. Creating such an information environment is relevant for enterprises in various industries. The urgency of the effectiveness of such integration is also confirmed by a number of developments in various information systems and platforms, as well as the need for managers in special information modules for effective decision-making The purpose of the research is to identify problems of integration of information and management system at the enterprise and to form recommendations for the introduction of modern information technologies in enterprise management. Information flows in the management system can be divided according to the type of information, which is classified according to various criteria - primary, systematized, processed for management decisions, reporting, internal and external, reliable and reliable. Primary protected enterprise data must be stored in an information system to be reusable. The integration of information and management systems involves a systems approach (systems theory, open and information systems) and the use of such well-known economic theories as the theory of constraints, information society, knowledge economy etc. In practice, there are options for creating an enterprise management system according to the processes and algorithms embedded in the information system. Conversely, an information system can be created according to a management system or adapted on the basis of popular digital platforms. In any case, changes in the management system and adaptation of the information environment, staff training are mandatory steps in the integration of the two systems. The main stages of integration are the analysis of management and information processes and identifying the level of their compliance; determination of input and output information flows, algorithms and results of their processing; determining the level of maturity of management and information technology; analysis of business processes and information flows; changes in management processes in accordance with modern information technologies; implementation of changes together with staff training and control of digital competencies in accordance with the changes. The proposed model of integration involves the collection of data on actual management processes, communications and the use of information technology in management, their evaluation by level of maturity and inconsistency; identification of problems and goals of integration and updating of management and information system taking into account risk reduction, staff training, creating a loyal attitude to the changes in accordance with the defined goals of enterprise development. The single information management space of the enterprise allows to optimize management and information flows under the condition of a high level of business intelligence at all levels of management - from top management to the individual executor. The results of analytics can be used to optimize information and management flows or the implementation of enterprise restructuring projects.

The prospects and directions of improvement of the methodology for strategic enterprise management have been highlighted. The subject of the research is theoretical and methodological aspects of creating a strategic enterprise management system based on the concept of a Balanced Scorecard (BSC). It has been revealed that in the context of changing the concept of the enterprise strategic development toward the growth of its intellectual capital as the main factor of competitiveness, the evolution of the enterprise management and planning system from strategic enterprise management to balanced enterprise management is taking place. The balanced scorecard has been defined as the basic concept of balanced enterprise management. The purpose of the study is to outline the prospects and directions for improving the methodology of strategic enterprise management under the conditions of its evolution into balanced enterprise management. Results. On the basis of a mathematical representation of the sphere of strategic responsibility (SSR) of the enterprise as an organizational and infrastructural environment for balanced enterprise management, it has been proved that the interaction of the SSR content components results in a synergistic effect of its expansion. This, in turn, determines the necessity and possibility of distributing the company’s SSR beyond its management and involving the initiative owners in the process of balanced enterprise management. Accordingly, the prospects for improvement of the strategic enterprise management methodology have been defined as an integration of strategic management systems, approaches, methods and the BSC with non-traditional eventological methods combined with the analytic hierarchy process. It has been proved that, from the standpoint of the eventology, subjective observations and the mathematical apparatus of the theory of random events allow identification of general statistical regularities of the probabilistic set distribution in various, including management, systems. From the standpoint of a balanced approach, the need for enriching the methodology of the BSC as a system of balanced enterprise management, using the eventological analysis, is being boosted by the need to take into account the growing number of random, multi-directional and seemingly unrelated factors in the management process. Methodology. The following research methods were used in the study: the expert assessment method, factor analysis – for the formation of the management panel of the BSC; the eventological scoring and analytic hierarchy process – for balancing and structuring key performance indicators (KPI), economic and mathematical methods – to analyse the SSRs of the enterprise as an organizational and infrastructural environment for balanced enterprise management; a critical analysis – to compare alternative approaches to the formation of the BSC. Value/originality. To achieve the purpose of the study, the BSC methodology has been presented as a system of balanced enterprise management. A methodical approach to balancing and structuring KPIs, using the results of eventological analysis and analytic hierarchy process, has been proposed. Its practical implications include the possibility of reaching the target balance of indicators taking into account weighing coefficients of the main indicator selection criteria, the possibility to determine the whole system balance index as the average of the balance indices of each of the indicators that characterize the enterprise performance. The ways of implementing the methods of e-scoring and analytic hierarchy process for the assessment and correction of the enterprise’s strategy have been studied. Integration of e-scoring with the strategic enterprise management method and the BSC methodology provides an effective vertical communication as the basic principle of balanced enterprise management, which extends the scope of strategic responsibility to subordinate initiative owners.

The pharmaceutical industry in China makes an important contribution to the national economy. However, the associated pollution problems cause gradual deterioration of the environment and impact adversely on the local community. Cleaner production (CP) technology, an effective way to reduce waste emission and save resources, has been widely employed in the pharmaceutical industry in the developed countries. Such technologies have been applied in a number of factories in China, although there is no integrated assessment and implementation procedure for implementing CP technologies in pharmaceutical plants. To solve such problems, a series of CP options are proposed and assessed here. CP is a powerful tool for decreasing waste production, limiting environmental pollution and natural resource depletion. Moreover, the return on investment in CP is quick, so it would seem that CP activities should be very much in demand by enterprises. Reality is less optimistic: frequently only limited interest is expressed, even after an explanation; business people hesitate to become actively involved. The processes in the pharmaceutical production industry produce a vast amount of waste, including wastewater with high concentrations of organic substances (the principal component), solid waste, and organic off-gas. To solve such problems, a series of CP options are proposed and assessed in this study. Having consideration to environmental impacts and economic efficiency, four groups of medium/high cost CP options were screened in an integrated assessment. To verify the proposed options, a case study was conducted in Degussa Luyuan, Northeast China. The characteristics of resource consumption and waste emission during the production process were identified. The proposed options were evaluated according to different aspects. An integrated CP system based on the proposed options was designed and then implemented in the factory. In three years of practical use, the productivity and quality of alcohol product were improved, with a reduction in waste and pollution and a marked increase in water/energy savings. This study provides theoretical and practical support for the extensive application of CP technologies and sustainable development in China’s pharmaceutical industry. These methods include ways to clean up production that are incorporated in the process design, reforming present production technologies, updating the equipment, exploiting new producing flowcharts, using cleaner energy, building recycling into the manufacturing process, recycling waste, enhancing management, developing environmental protection technology, and ensuring satisfactory end-of-pipe disposal.
