Quality Improvement and Green Logistics Potential Assessment of the lump rubber in the Kut Chap District of Udonthani Province
Keywords:
Quality improvement, Green logistics, Lump rubber, Supply chain, SCOR modelAbstract
This research delves into the critical aspects of quality improvement and logistics system in the lump rubber industry, focusing on the Kut Chap District of Udonthani Province. The rubber sector plays a pivotal role in various automotive, construction, and manufacturing industries, underscoring the significance of efficient logistics and quality assurance practices. This study emphasizes the SWOT and SCOR model for continuous improvement in quality development and logistics to drive operational efficiency and competitiveness in the rubber sector. The implementation of ECRS principles led to enhanced efficiency and reduced waste in the manufacturing of lump rubber. This was achieved by streamlining work processes, resulting in a 33% reduction in the number of stages and increased overall quality. The truck, which has a diesel tank capacity of 10.5 liters, releases 27.05 kgCO2e of greenhouse gases per vehicle. This emission is measured to evaluate the capability and readiness of rubber plantations. Green logistics analysis shows potential for efficient logistics and supply chain management, requiring strategic measures like government initiatives and improved production technologies.
