A decision-guidance framework for sustainability performance analysis of manufacturing processes

Review of simulation-based life cycle assessment in manufacturing industry

“…Verification is often defined as ensuring that 'the model is correct and matches any agreed-upon specifications and assumptions', whereas validation is often defined as ensuring that 'the model represents the real system to a sufficient level of accuracy' (Carson, 2002). Of the reviewed studies, two (Andersson, 2013;Kim, Shin, Shao, & Brodsky, 2015) acknowledge the importance of verification in simulation-based LCA, but do not provide any practical guidance. One study notes that the simulation-based LCA model can be verified by reviewing the critical processes in real manufacturing activity (Lindskog et al, 2011).…”

“…the production part) against historical production data (Lindskog et al, 2011;Löfgren & Tillman, 2011;A. Sproedt et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2013) and one study uses a mathematical approach to validation (Kim et al, 2015). When it comes to LCA model validation, two main approaches are applied: validating against the results of traditional LCA (Andersson, et al, 2011;Lindskog et al, 2011) or against historical production data (Löfgren & Tillman, 2011;A.…”

“…Concerning the impact assessment, 71% of the studies report the impact in terms of climate change, though most of them only calculate the kilograms of CO 2 equivalent based on electricity consumption. A few exceptions can be found, namely, three studies (Bengtsson et al, 2010;Heilala, Paju, Montonen, Hentula, & Heikkilä, 2010;Kim et al, 2015) that consider NOx when performing impact assessment in terms of climate change. However, other on-site emissions are often ignored.…”

Sustainable Manufacturing Modelling: A Case for Milling Process

“…This work also contributes towards optimization of environment and economic indicators such as cost per component and energy consumption by using different optimization techniques. Kim et al [6] proposed a decision-guidance structure to improve sustainability in manufacturing. This framework mainly consist six different phases: goal and scope definition, collection of data, generate model, sustainability process analysis, implementation and decision making.…”
