A three dimensional system approach for environmentally sustainable manufacturing

Avaliação Do Fresamento De Aço Endurecido Considerando-Se Aspectos Econômicos, Sociais E Ambientais

“…Como os impactos ambientais da indústria transformadora são muito elevados, incluindo emissões e resíduos, a produção sustentável tem atraído enorme atenção nos últimos anos como uma estratégia global para reduzir o impacto ambiental e melhorar o desempenho econô-mico da indústria transformadora [55].…”

Performance Analysis of the Capability Assessment Tool for Sustainable Manufacturing

“…Likewise, the Sustainability Competency and Opportunity Rating and Evaluation (SCORE) system [22] includes aspects of assessing capability across sustainability practices, but also does not extend this assessment to the supply chain. A common aspect of these frameworks is the need and importance of involving stakeholders in framework development [20,23], including the company, its customers and suppliers, and government agencies There are sustainable manufacturing frameworks and/or environmental assessment tools introduced by other researchers which are solely based upon some particular solutions only such as using cleaner energies, using materials with low environmental impacts, and using improved technologies to reduce environmental footprints-e.g., GHGs, and hazardous waste-associated with manufacturing processes [6,24]. This is while there are also examples of some frameworks and assessment tools (e.g., for environmental management performance) which have limited but broad objective-based capabilities-e.g., pollution reduction capability-along with some solution-based capabilities such as employing advanced technologies used as the basis to quantify (assess) the environmental management performance of manufacturing firms [25].…”

“…The present paper is dedicated to evaluating the performance, robustness, and reliability of this sustainable manufacturing framework and the metrics assessment tool built upon it. Although the framework developed as part of this research is focused on environmental sustainability at the manufacturing level, the approach used in this case can be extended beyond manufacturing to achieve a comprehensive system approach for sustainable manufacturing (i.e., life cycle approach) [8,16,24]. It is noteworthy that the present research was conducted in collaboration with a global sporting goods manufacturer, involving five of its first and second tier sports footwear and apparel suppliers in Asia, aimed at assisting the manufacturer to meet its strategic environmental targets across the supply chain.…”

Sustainable Development and Technological Impact on CO2 Reducing Conditions in Romania

“…These sources include forms of energy derived from renewable, natural processes, in which the production cycle takes place in periods that are directly proportional to their consumption periods. Thus, the energy of sunlight, winds, flowing water, biomass and geothermal heat may be captured by using different technologies [10][11][12][13]. Renewable energy is extremely important today, being considered to play a crucial role in increasing the security of energy resources by reducing dependence on fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.…”
