摘要

This study aims to identify, evaluate, and prioritize social sustainability risks in the veneer production process by integrating Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) with Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The objective is to support data-driven decision-making in managing stakeholder-related social impacts across the cradle-to-gate production stages. A mixed-method approach was used to collect primary data from stakeholders through interviews and focus groups, while secondary data were drawn from company records and literature. Performance was scored across key social categories, and impact levels were characterized to identify areas of concern. Findings indicate that Socio-Economic Repercussions and Community Involvement received the highest scores (3.9 and 3.8), suggesting positive contributions to employment and engagement. In contrast, Health and Safety (2.7) and Governance/CSR (2.4) scored lowest, indicating deficiencies in workplace safety and formal sustainability policies. FMEA analysis further revealed critical risks, such as improper PPE use (RPN = 240) and environmental nuisances (RPN = 168), requiring immediate action. Moderate risks included lack of social insurance, excessive work hours, and resource depletion. The integration of S-LCA and FMEA effectively identifies and prioritizes social risks, providing a structured framework for improving social performance in the veneer industry.
