A Mathematical Programming Approach to the Optimal Sustainable Product Mix for the Process Industry

Abstract: Abstract:The increasing concerns about the environment and the depletion of natural resources are the main drivers for the growing interest in sustainability. Manufacturing operations are frequently considered to have an adverse effect on the environment. Hence, the sustainable operation of manufacturing facilities is a vital practice to ensure sustainability. The aim of this paper is to find the optimum product mix of a manufacturing facility to maximize its sustainability. A mixed integer non-linear programm… Show more

“…Vezzoli et al [81] elaborate on this topic by stressing that sustainable PSS prove promising because they are associated with reduced resource use, which could result in reduced costs and favour access of lower income segments to PSS solutions, thus improving social inclusion. Needless to say, these results clearly align with the Triple Bottom Line approach, on which the academic literature on sustainable PSS is based [77,[86][87][88][89][90].…”

“…Galal and Moneim [33] formulated a mixed integer nonlinear programming model to determine the product mix in a manufacturing facility to maximize the sustainability index (SI) which is the weighted sum of the economic, environmental, and social measures of sustainability. The weights of these measures were determined using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach.…”
