“…Literature on ISF and sheet metal forming is continuously adding up with focus on several aspects such as formability, accuracy, mechanics and sustainability. [72][73][74][75] Available information in the literature covers history, progress, and development aspects of ISF, technological aspects, process applicability, prototype applications, and influence of process parameters on performance measures of ISF etc. 17,[76][77][78][79][80] Many research scholars have published research on the sustainability assessment of ISF either discussing energy consumption or carbon emission or product cost as sustainable indicators.…”

Due to continuous worsening of the environment and depletion of natural resources, concept of sustainability in manufacturing sector is gaining an increasing attention. New processes and strategies characterized by efficient use of energy and materials, low processing time and zero or nearly zero green-house emissions are being explored. Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a comparatively new sheet forming process with high economic payoff for small production runs and customized orders. The current study presents a comprehensive review on the sustainability aspects of the process. The process performance in terms of power demand, energy consumption, cost, CO2 emissions, processing time, and material wastage/usage is analyzed on the basis of published literature, and important conclusions and recommendations are drawn to utilize the process for cleaner, economical and time efficient production. The review establishes that ISF is more sustainable process than conventional forming methods for small production runs. Further, its sustainability performance can be further enhanced by choosing optimum process conditions especially lower spindle rotation, larger feed rate and step size. Shorter tool paths and advent of energy efficient machines is likely to further elevate the process performance. The review also identifies future work and presents fundamental guidelines and recommendations for establishing the sustainable ISF process.

Notwithstanding the research on refining lean tools for the sake of sustainable development is slowly progressing, sustainability-oriented application of value stream mapping has received undivided attention from practitioners and researchers. Going through the literature highlights that there is a lack of research in integrating and systematising the available knowledge on this lean tool, which is regarded as a visual process-based method to make sustainable progress over the time-based and green concepts of wastes to also assess and improve the societal sustainability performance of organisations. Hence, this paper has been aimed at presenting the findings of a systematic literature review on value stream mapping from the triple bottom line point of view. It classifies and codes the main studies in the context as well as provides a research agenda with nine recommendations that may advance this under-studied field. To narrow the gap in the current literature, this article also proposes a sustainability indicator set that would considerably contribute to guiding and strengthening the state-of-the-art research on successful implementation of the application. Besides, the findings indicate that more investigations are needed on employing survey and conceptual methodologies, applying comparative and cross-industry perspectives, developing sustainability indicator sets particularly societal metrics, and considering the stakeholders' benefits from adopting sustainability-oriented value stream mapping. The research on the convergence of this sustainability-oriented application and new paradigms such as IR 4.0 and/or Circular Economy should be also strengthened.

“…In the relevant literature on conventional machining processes, another commonly accepted categorization of sustainability aspects is that of Jawahir et al [40], who selected the six most significant parameters regarding sustainability of manufacturing processes: waste management, manufacturing cost, environmental impact, energy consumption, personnel health, and operational safety. These six parameters or elements are interacting, and their contributions constitute the total process sustainability index [33,41]. Waste management is relevant to recycling and disposal of wastes produced during the manufacturing processes, and it is necessary to develop means to reduce waste and its subsequent emissions and treat it properly before disposal, especially that which is toxic or otherwise harmful [35,40].…”

“…Najiha, Rahman, and Kadirgama [43] argued that there is a non-deterministic component of sustainability that also needs to be taken into consideration by fuzzy logic models. In fact, half of the aforementioned elements of sustainability, namely manufacturing cost, power consumption, and waste management, can be considered as deterministic and can be calculated by analytical formulas, whereas the other three can be considered as non-deterministic and thus can be described by fuzzy variables [33,41].…”

Experimental Study on the Sustainability Assessment of AWJ Machining of Ti-6Al-4V Using Glass Beads Abrasive Particles

et al. 2021

Abrasive Waterjet Machining (AWJM) is considered a viable alternative to conventional machining processes, due to its capability of rendering even complex features on parts with high productivity. However, it is currently also important for manufacturing processes to comply with the various aspects of sustainability, by putting emphasis on the environmental dimension apart from the economic. Although AWJM generally is considered an inherently environmentally friendly process, it is required that thorough experimental studies be carried out to evaluate the sustainability of AWJM under various conditions. In the present work, AWJM experiments under various conditions were conducted on a Ti-6Al-4V workpiece in order to determine the optimal conditions leading to a high degree of sustainability in this process based on several indicators. The experiments were carried out using glass beads, which act as an eco-friendly abrasive. After the basic outcome of the experiment was analyzed to determine the correlations between process parameters and depth of penetration, kerf width, and kerf taper angle, sustainability analysis with the aid of Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was conducted. The optimum solution provided a sufficiently high score regarding both the economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability.
