Alternative Selection in Reducing Wood Scrap with Green Productivity Approach

This research was conducted in companies engaged in the production of furniture in North Sumatra. From observations made, seen piles of scrap pieces of wood from the rest of the production. This study was conducted to select the best alternative to reduce scrap wood with green productivity approach so that productions are going to more economical and productive. Green productivity approach to the reduction of scrap is performed by calculating Green Productivity Index. There are 3 alternative wood scrap reduction, which is: (1) Do not perform any conversion actions; (2) Wood scrap smoothed and pressed into the pressed wood as the “content” of the door, wood scrap that is usually used as a fuel in the boiler is replaced with oil palm pulp; and (3) Purchase the woods with appropriate size and produces scrap as minimum as possible. Alternative 2 was selected as the best alternative to the Green Productivity Index (GPI) Human amounted to 1, GPI Material 1.13, GPICapital1.06, GPI Energy at 1.16, and GPI Waste of 0.
