Abstract: It is inevitable that a batching plant used to produce ready-mix concrete can support the expansion of infrastructure in both urban and rural areas. However, due to the fact that the plant is perceived as environmentally unfriendly due to its material use and waste production, and impacting to operational performance. The purpose of this study is to identify the variables that affect performance and evaluate them both before and after greenfication using a sample of a batching plant located in Serpong, Tangerang, which is one of PT. SBB's 28 batching plant units. To ensure that the research provides the expected results for the author and reader, the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze- Improvement-Control) strategy was applied in this study. This research findings indicate that utilizing fly ash and iron slag as a 15% substitute for cement for concrete can lower consumption costs by 13.5%. Furthermore, using 20% less of the recycle water can lower fresh water cost consumption until 6.84% to retain the availability of clean water in nature while simultaneously improving performance in terms of production costs without lowering the quality of the concrete produced.
Keywords: Green Batching Plant, DMAIC, Operational Performance.
