A Process-Planning Framework for Sustainable Manufacturing

Process planning in manufacturing today focuses on optimizing the conflicting targets of cost, quality, and time. Due to increasing social awareness subsequent governmental regulation, environmental impact becomes a fourth major aspect. Eventually, sustainability ensures future competitiveness. In this paper, framework for sustainable is proposed. It based abstraction generalization resources part descriptions, which are matched ranked using multi-criteria decision analysis method. Manufacturing provide values time impacts, multiply with their usage within task specific part. The validated detailed modeling laser machine as resource revealing benefits optimization potential underlying data model. Finally, applied use case flange two different strategies, i.e., metal-wire deposition conventional milling. most influential parameters regarding impacts raw material input, energy consumption production itself. general, enabled identification non-predetermined possibilities comprehensive comparison resources.
