Abstract:

The objective of the current research was to examine the impact of quality indicators obtained by crushing limestone in quarries on sustainable production activities. In the application of crushing limestone in situ, environmental sustainability was achieved by reducing the consumption of quality indicators, i.e., minimizing resource consumption and lead time. In the context of this research, non-value-added resources and usage time are referred to. To address the negative effects of operations on the environment and human health, this research calls for an explanation of how measures of quality performance, such as manufacturing cycle efficiency, production efficiency, and resource utilisation efficiency, affect environmental and operational sustainability. In a year, the Crushing Limestone process was utilized as a case study to assess the environmental and operational sustainability of an Iraqi firm. For the analysis of data from available information relating to the production process, software Minitab version 17 was employed. The findings revealed that the efficiency percentage of the resources utilized was 95%, while the wastage percentage was 5% during the year. Lead time was a good indicator of quality from a sustainable production perspective, as mentioned in the findings as well.
