In order to survive in today's competitive business environment, adopting Sustainable Manufacturing practices has become a necessity. A performance evaluation system is crucial for achieving a successful Sustainable Manufacturing in the automotive industry. Hence, an AHP based-model for Sustainable Manufacturing performance evaluation was developed in this study. Firstly, a set of initial key performance measures for Sustainable Manufacturing evaluation has been identified and derived from the literature. The measures were developed based on the triple bottom line of sustainability of environmental, economic, and social, consisting of nine criteria and further divided into a total of 41 subcriteria. Secondly, a survey was conducted to confirm the adaptability of the initial measures with industry practices. The results indicated that all the initial measures are highly important and thus proposed as the key performance measures of Sustainable Manufacturing evaluation for automotive industry. Finally, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to Sustainable Manufacturing performance evaluation based on the measures. Relative importance weight of all the measures is determined by summarizing the opinions of experts. Quality and cost were found to be the top two important measures in evaluating Sustainable Manufacturing performance, while emission and supplier were the least important measures. It indicated that the automotive industry is still focusing more on the economic factor. The proposed model was then evaluated using a case study company from the automotive industry. The results show the existing performance level on strengths and weaknesses and provide directions for companies to take appropriate actions in improving their performance. It is hoped that the model enables and assists automotive companies in achieving the higher performance and so as increasing the competitiveness.

Sustainable Manufacturing performance evaluation tool for automotive companies
2013Co-Authors: Elita AmrinaAbstract:In response to the growing sustainability concerns, Manufacturing companies have to formulate a set of measures to evaluate Sustainable Manufacturing performance, aimed at integration of sustainability aspects. Sustainability is generally evaluated by dimensions of environment, economic, and social, known as the triple bottom line (TBL) of sustainability. However, while the literature on sustainability is rapidly growing, only few studies have attempted to integrate sustainability into Manufacturing performance evaluation. There is also no consensus yet on a standard set of Sustainable Manufacturing performance measures. This study aims to integrate sustainability into Manufacturing performance by incorporating Manufacturing performance measures with Sustainable Manufacturing measures. As a result, a set of initial measures for Sustainable Manufacturing performance evaluation believed to be suitable for automotive companies have been proposed, consisting of three factors divided into nine dimensions and a total of 41 subdimensions. In order to validate the initial measures with industry practices, a survey was conducted on the automotive companies in Malaysia. It was found that all the initial measures are highly important and thus proposed as the key measures of Sustainable Manufacturing performance evaluation for automotive companies. A Sustainable Manufacturing performance evaluation tool for automotive companies was then developed using a hybrid Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology was applied to determine the structural relationships and inter-relationships amongst all the performance measures and Analytic Network Process (ANP) methodology was employed to determine the important weights of each of the performance measures by summarizing the opinions of the experts. While the tool provides a systematic approach for quantitative assessment of Sustainable Manufacturing performance, it is not entirely automated. Thus, for that purpose, a software-based tool named SUSMAP was subsequently developed using PHP and MySQL. Two case studies have been conducted to validate the tool. Results from the case studies suggested that the SUSMAP is easy to use and applicable to evaluate Sustainable Manufacturing performance in automotive companies. The tool can be used by companies for self-assessment as well as benchmarking. It shows the existing performance level on strengths and weaknesses, and where improvements need to be made. It is hoped that the proposed Sustainable Manufacturing performance measures and the associated SUSMAP tool can aid the automotive companies to achieve successful implementation of Sustainable Manufacturing so as to compete in a much more Sustainable manner

A proposed Sustainable Manufacturing performance measures for automotive companies
2011Co-Authors: Elita Amrina, Sha'ri Mohd YusofAbstract:Conventionally, the Manufacturing performance evaluation has commonly focused on dimensions of quality, cost, delivery and flexibility. In response to the increasing concerns for sustainability issue, it is necessary to incorporate the sustainability aspects into the Manufacturing performance dimensions, called the Sustainable Manufacturing performance criteria. However, while the literature on sustainability is rapidly growing, very few researches have been conducted on how to integrate sustainability into the Manufacturing performance evaluation. Based on the review of previous studies, this paper proposes a set of Sustainable Manufacturing performance measures for automotive companies, which is hopefully suitable to their characteristics and helps them to become more Sustainable. The proposed measures consist of three elements of the environment performance, four elements of the economic performance, and two elements of the social performance. A survey will be conducted to confirm the adaptability of the proposed measured with the industry practices. Future research will focus on developing an evaluation tool to assess Sustainable Manufacturing performance in automotive companies.

Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering Transactions of the ASME, 2013Co-Authors: Karl R. Haapala, F.b Fu Zhao, Jaime J.c Camelio, J.w.d John W Sutherland, Andres F Clarens, I S Jawahir, David A. Dornfeld, Steven J. Skerlos, Jeremy L. RickliAbstract:Sustainable Manufacturing requires simultaneous consideration of economic, environmental, and social implications associated with the production and delivery of goods. Fundamentally, Sustainable Manufacturing relies on descriptive metrics, advanced decisionmaking, and public policy for implementation, evaluation, and feedback. In this paper, recent research into concepts, methods, and tools for Sustainable Manufacturing is explored. At the Manufacturing process level, engineering research has addressed issues related to planning, development, analysis, and improvement of processes. At a Manufacturing systems level, engineering research has addressed challenges relating to facility operation, production planning and scheduling, and supply chain design. Though economically vital, Manufacturing processes and systems have retained the negative image of being inefficient, polluting, and dangerous. Industrial and academic researchers are reimagining Manufacturing as a source of innovation to meet society's future needs by undertaking strategic activities focused on Sustainable processes and systems. Despite recent developments in decision making and process- and systems-level research, many challenges and opportunities remain. Several of these challenges relevant to Manufacturing process and system research, development, implementation, and education are highlighted. Copyright © 2013 by ASME.

In this paper, we present a three dimensional system approach for Sustainable Manufacturing from environmental perspective. This method attempts to address the sustainability issues of Manufacturing from a pollution prevention standpoint, considering the three key components of Manufacturing: technology, energy, and material. Case study is performed on an emerging nano-Manufacturing technology, atomic layer deposition. This system approach, when appropriately adopted, could be useful in real Sustainable Manufacturing practices for overall sustainability management and improvement. s 2012 CIRP. 1. Introduction As Manufacturing converts raw materials into products, environmental wastes and emissions are simultaneously gener- ated from the consumption of materials and energy in manu- facturing processes. Statistical data shows that the U.S. Manufacturing industry annually consumes 21.1 quadrillion Btu energy (about 21% of total U.S. energy consumption) and generates more than 1.4 billion metric tons of CO 2 emissions (about 26% of total U.S. CO 2 emissions) [1]. In 2009, U.S. Manufacturing and related industry released more than 3.37 billion pounds of toxic chemicals into the environment [2]. Such Manufacturing wastes and emissions cause not only environmental problems but also economical issues due to the efforts associated with the environ- mental emission mitigation, control, and recovery within and outside the Manufacturing system. As the environmental impacts of Manufacturing industry are so significant in the amount of emissions and wastes, Sustainable Manufacturing has attracted enormous attention in recent years as a comprehensive strategy for reducing the environmental impact and improving the economic performance of Manufacturing industry. In current Sustainable Manufacturing research, significant efforts are put on the development of metrics and tools for environmental performance analysis of Manufacturing processes. However, little work has been done in the system level of thinking for the development of an approach to improve the overall sustainability of Manufacturing [3]. A comprehensive system approach for Sustainable Manufacturing needs to be conducted through a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach since the environmental impacts of Manufacturing extend well beyond Manufacturing, to such life cycle phases as raw material acquisition, material production, usage, end-of-life, etc. [4]. As * Corresponding author. 0007-8506/$ – see front matter s 2012 CIRP. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cirp.2012.03.105 Manufacturing is a key stage in LCA which links materials to products, and consumes significant amounts of materials and energy in the Manufacturing system, in this research, the focus is put on development of a system approach for Sustainable Manufacturing from environmental perspective. A system approach for environmentally Sustainable manu- facturing needs to consider the components of Manufacturing from a comprehensive manner [5]. As the most effective and economical strategy for environmental impact control is pollution prevention [6], the ideal system approach for environmentally Sustainable Manufacturing should focus on pollution prevention in Manufacturing. In Manufacturing, the environmental emis- sions and wastes are generated from the materials and energy consumed either directly or indirectly in various Manufacturing processes. However, what dictates the materials/energy con- sumptions and the emission generations in Manufacturing are those Manufacturing technologies and process parameters being employed. Accordingly, the pollution prevention opportunities for environmentally Sustainable Manufacturing are recognized with these three components of Manufacturing: technology, energy and material. 2. A three dimensional system approach In this paper, a system approach is developed to support industrial efforts in improving the overall sustainability of Manufacturing from pollution prevention perspective. The system approach is developed on the three components: technology, energy and material, of a Manufacturing system, and provides a framework for implementation of pollution prevention strategies to reduce the environmental impact and improve the sustain- ability performance of a Manufacturing system. The three components in an environmentally Sustainable Manufacturing system are cross-linked with each other. A schematic structure of the system approach is shown in Fig. 1 below.

A Review of Engineering Research in Sustainable Manufacturing
ASME 2011 International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference Volume 2, 2011Co-Authors: Karl R. Haapala, Jaime J.c Camelio, J.w.d John W Sutherland, I S Jawahir, David A. Dornfeld, Steven J. Skerlos, Fu Zhao, Hong-chao Zhang, Andres F ClarensAbstract:Sustainable Manufacturing has been defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce as the creation of manufactured products using processes that minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities, and consumers, and are economically sound. Thus, it requires simultaneous consideration of economic, environmental, and social implications associated with production and delivery of goods. Research in Sustainable Manufacturing is an important activity that informs product development from a life cycle perspective. At the process level, Sustainable Manufacturing research addresses issues related to planning, analysis and improvement, and the development of processes. At a systems level, Sustainable Manufacturing research addresses challenges relating to supply chain design, facility design and operations, and production planning. Though economically vital, Manufacturing processes and systems have retained the negative image of being inefficient, polluting, and dangerous. Through strategic activities focused on Sustainable processes and systems, industrial and academic engineering researchers are re-imagining Manufacturing as a source of innovation to meet society’s future needs. Recent research into concepts, methods, and tools for Sustainable Manufacturing are highlighted at the systems level, and explored more deeply as they relate to discrete Manufacturing process development and analysis. Despite recent developments in decision making, and process- and systems-level research, many challenges and opportunities remain. Several of these in Manufacturing research, development, implementation, and education are highlighted.Copyright © 2011 by ASME

In this paper, a methodology is developed for designing Sustainable manufac- turing metrics given the specific concerns to be addressed. A top-down approach is suggested that follows the framework of goal and scope definition: (1) goal - what are the concerns ad- dressed and what is the appropriate metric type to achieve the goal (2) scope - what is the appropriate geographic and manu- facturing extent. In this methodology a distinction is made be- tween environmental cost metrics and sustainability metrics. Uti- lizing this methodology, metrics focused on energy use, global climate change, non-renewable resource consumption, and water consumption are developed. ments (LCA), (3) adjustment/optimization of the system to min- imize environmental impacts and cost based on the chosen met- rics and the LCA [1]. This paper focuses on the first of these goals, and discusses the development of appropriate metrics for industrial processes and Manufacturing systems. Metric selec- tion and development is a critical component in a Sustainable Manufacturing strategy as it enables decision making on all as- pects of Manufacturing from tool choice to system configuration. For the purposes of this paper “sustainability” is understood as the ability of an entity to “sustain” itself into the future without impacting the capacity of other entities in the system to sustain themselves. This definition involves consideration of three main drivers: economics, society, and the environment. The first of these, economics, has traditionally been the focus of the manu- facturing research community. Societal concerns have been ad- dressed by researchers as they relate to increased profit, however additional social metrics to be considered include poverty, gen- der equality, nutrition, child mortality, sanitation, health, educa- tion, housing, crime, and employment [2]. Aggregated indices that provide a broad value for “wellbeing” or “environmental sustainability” have also been developed [3]. While these social and aggregate metrics are valuable to make broad decisions, they may not allow for granular insight and decision making within the Manufacturing enterprise. Introduction Innovative strategies are needed to achieve Sustainable pro- cesses technologies and industrial systems. “Green” technolo- gies are often understood as those capable of meeting product de- sign requirements while minimizing environmental impact. Min- imizing impacts, however, is a necessary but not sufficient con- dition for a sustainability strategy. Three important components of a Sustainable Manufacturing strategy are: (1) selection and application of appropriate met- rics for measuring Manufacturing sustainability, (2) completion of comprehensive, transparent, and repeatable life-cycle assess- ∗ Address all correspondence to this author.

Multi Objective Optimization for Sustainable Manufacturing, Application in Turning
International Journal of Simulation Modelling, 2015Co-Authors: H. Hassine, M. Barkallah, A. BellaciccoAbstract:As Manufacturing converts raw materials into products, environmental wastes and emissions are simultaneously generated from the consumption of materials and energy during the Manufacturing processes. Then, Sustainable Manufacturing is defined as the creation of manufactured products using processes that minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources and that are safe on employees, communities and consumers. Such an approach requires a compromise between ecological and economic aspects to meet the pillars of Sustainable development. This paper presents the implementation of particle swarm tool in order to solve multi-objective optimization for Sustainable Manufacturing. Hence, this study might serve as part of a global approach to model Sustainable Manufacturing. The main objective of this approach is to develop operations that allow production with respect of ecological, economic and technological constraints. We developed a case study on the cutting conditions during turning at the end of our study.
