Carbon Footprint Reduction of Printed Books by the Improvement of Overall Equipment Effectiveness

Abstract

Rendering the management and logistics to be more eco-friendly is an innovative idea progressively adopted by industry. Consequently, our research focuses on the reduction of CO₂ emissions of a printed book by relating to printing press management. Our proposed tool is able to model a production management policy relevant to the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) indicators. This method was applied to Chulalongkorn University Printing House. The study aimed to develop printing press management using Total Preventive Management (TPM to improve "eco-friendly" printed products.
