Abstract

Sustainability has become a concern of academics and practitioners, where implementing sustainability can help reduce environmental impact, and for that, it is necessary to take steps to assess the level of sustainability. So to assess sustainability, it is necessary to discuss the indicators used to measure sustainability, where these indicators really need to be discussed in measuring sustainability manufacture. This paper aims to determine the selection of indicators used for sustainability assessment in the manufacturing industry by discussing lean and green indicators to measure sustainability. Given that lean focuses on operational performance while green focuses on environmental performance, these two dimensions will be examined for appropriate indicators to measure sustainability. The Delphi method is used in this study to select manufacturing sustainability indicators that are appropriate or relevant to the manufacturing industry. The findings of this study found 29 indicators suitable for measuring sustainability in the processing manufacturing industry, consisting of 13 indicators for the economic dimension, 9 for the environmental dimension, and 7 for the social dimension. The indicators obtained can be applied to measure sustainability in the cooking oil processing manufacturing industry.
