Reviewer 1 Report
Lack definition od Cleaner Production.
Lack of hypothesis.
3. Materials and method - lack information about who made technical visite and when. Steps for trafting are not clear. I propose to characterize them more detail. "The case study was carried out in a micro company" - lack information about the time, day or year.
Author is using the term Synthetic Flow Chart of Manufacturing and Assembly (SFCMA) - but dont explain it in the text.
