Challenges in Sustainable Manufacturing

Since the release of Brundtland Report in 1987, sustainability practices have received a fair share of attention from researchers and practitioners alike. Sustainable manufacturing practices seek to optimize production efficiency while minimizing environmental impact and maintaining social equity. Research has shown that companies that adopt sustainable practices are able to achieve increased p...

Multi-Objective Tooling Optimization for Sustainable Manufacturing

Process planning is an activity for designers to evaluate manufacturability and manufacturing cost in the early design stage of mechanical parts production where important parameters that affect the machining process should be analyzed in detail. This paper deals with the systematic determination of the detailed methods involved in the manufacturing of parts from raw materials to a finished pro...

ICT for Sustainable Manufacturing: A European Perspective

The challenges associated with environmental sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions are increasingly affecting policy making and global economic activity. Since energy use accounts for eighty percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, the European Union is determined to fight against climate change and reduce emissions by at least twenty percent in 2020. Although information and co...
