Conference Object Determining the Priority Waste in Aluminum Manufacturing Sector Using the SMSA-2 Method: A Case Study of Kayseri(Computers and Industrial Engineering dessouky@usc.edu, 2014) Kızılkaya Aydoğan, Emel Kizilkaya; Ates, Nuray; Uzal, Niǧmet; Ozmen, Mihrimah; Aydogan, Emel KizilkayaSmall and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a major part of the Turkish economy, accounting for a large proportion of the country's businesses and total employment. Although the SMEs are known as important contributors to environmental pollution, the relative contribution of SMEs to the total environmental impacts of industrial is unknown. The most important environmental issues related with aluminum industries are emission of gases, wastewater and solid wastes from aluminum production. In multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems in some situations, decision makers (DMs) don't or can't express their preferences obviously. In these situations for decision making, stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (SMAA-2) can be applied. In this study, a multi-criteria decision making model is presented to determine higher priority waste types (air and solid wastes, wastewaters) among the three firms. We used stochastic data by applying and the SMAA-2 results are given. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 18Comprehensive Analysis of Social Subcategories Throughout Life Cycle Assessment Approach for the Textile Industry(Springer Heidelberg, 2024-07-01) Fidan, Fatma Sener; Aydogan, Emel Kizilkaya; Uzal, NigmetPurposeWhile the environmental and economic aspects of sustainability have been extensively studied, social sustainability has been largely neglected and necessitates a thorough investigation. The study examines the intricate nature of social impact assessments, considering the substantial significance of the textile industry in the global economy and its wide-ranging social implications. This study comprehensively examines critical social subcategories used in the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to highlight the social sustainability of the textile sector. The objective of the study is to enhance and optimize the subcategories proposed by UNEP/SETAC for social LCA by examining, expanding, and adapting them specifically to the textile industry, offering a more focused and sector-specific viewpoint on key metrics.MethodsThe study examines its use in textile production and distribution by first carefully evaluating the subcategories established by UNEP/SETAC for social LCA. A systematic assessment of positive and negative social impacts throughout the entire supply chain is examined through global standards, textile-specific standards, and literature. Analysis of semi-structured stakeholder interviews and a comprehensive literature review reveals important social subcategories, some of which go beyond the S-LCA guidelines.ResultsNew social metrics, including quality, women's rights, gender pay gap, collaboration with NGOs, academic research, circularity implementation, and environmental issues, were formulated from stakeholders' perspectives, tailored specifically for the textile sector.ConclusionsThe results of the study aim to promote a socially sustainable textile industry by guiding stakeholders to make informed decisions and adopt methods that prioritize social responsibility as well as environmental and economic factors.
