Lecture 3
•Optimization of resources.
•This involves full exploitation of resources once
they are extracted from their natural setting. For
example, a dressmaker will arrange the pieces of a
pattern in a certain manner along the length of the
fabric in the quest to use a small portion of the
fabric.
•Quality control improvement and process
monitoring.
•Wastage minimization can be put in place to limit
number of rejects and wastage generated. Can be
attained through increased frequency of inspection
and increase of inspection guidelines.
Waste management procedures following the
principles of 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)
•Reduce
• It calls for usage of resources that are just
enough to cater to your needs for example,
building a small house. It lowers cost in
resource consumption.
•Reuse
• It involves re-purposing items for a use
different from what it was initially produced
for.
•Recycle
• Recycling means that an item will be
transformed again into a raw material that can be
shaped into a new item
