INTRODUCTION
Waste reduction is a process through which wastage of resources or material used can be
reduced. Today it has become extremely important for organizations to focus on reducing waste
and improve usage of resources in a sustainable manner so that overall resources or energy
consumption by the organizations can be reduced (Jabbour, and de Sousa Jabbour, 2016).
Nowadays importance of waste reduction and improvement of resource usage is continuously
increasing so that excessive resources used can be reduced and environment can be protected in a
much better and efficient manner. This assignment will lay emphasis on resource considerations
within car manufacturing process life cycle, Issues related to resource use and waste reduction,
interventions that can be used for reduction of natural resources reduction, energy consumption
reduction, with least waste generation and recommendation to bring improvement within
resource use and reduce waste. Process chosen for this assignment is Car manufacturing process
as waste production in this process is quite high and large amount of resources are used in this
manufacturing process.
MAIN BODY
Overview
Today usage of natural resources is increasing continuously and because of this natural
resource amount is decreasing drastically. In fact, there are many natural resources that are on
the edge of becoming extent (Alwan, Jones and Holgate, 2017). Due to this it has become
important for organizations to focus on resource efficient designs both in industrial and non-
industrial context so that both resource and energy consumption can be reduced. Car
manufacturing industry is one of those industries in which waste generation is maximum, usage
of resources is high and because of this it is important for manufacturing industry organizations
to focus on their resources, energy consumption and reduce this consumption with waste
reduction.
Overview of the resource considerations within car manufacturing process life cycle
Resources considerations or implications plays a vital role in management of resources
used within an organization. It is highly important for car manufacturing organizations as
resource consumption within these organizations is extremely high and insufficient resources of
lack of resources can increase cost of manufacturing of product for them (Nilsson, Griggs and
Visbeck, 2016). For car manufacturing organization they need to analyse their resource
