Manufacturing needs more and more requirements (sustainability, agility, Industry 4.0 technologies, etc.) to meet customer demands. Nowadays, companies apply Lean tools to improve machines and systems performance in their use phase. Lean tools application on existing machines ensures some functionalities like (Reduce changeover time, eliminate wastes, Involve Human Skills, etc.). The purpose of this paper is to offer designers a design support method and tool to design a performant system (production system, machines, etc.) by integrating Lean functionalities from the early design phases, with a minimum of needs to improve the system in the use phase via Lean. For this purpose, we analyze the Lean principles and tools to identify functionalities provided by Lean. These functionalities are analyzed and classified to integrate them into the design of manufacturing systems in the context of Industry 4.0. A "Lean-System-Design" approach defines a systematic and detailed guide for the integration of Lean from the early design phase. We provide the software tool specifications, which represent the first steps of its implementation. We have illustrated our proposal with a case study on the design of a waste treatment machine.

“…Therefore, the sustainable design approach has come up as a return to the efforts made for achieving pollution prevention, reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG), and valorization of crop residues, among others. 4 The abovementioned point relates to the need for changing the conventional technologies to generate alternatives based on a more sustainable chemical processing. 5 These include the sustainable use of lignocellulosic materials as well as agricultural wastes for large-scale production of biofuels such as ethanol, biodiesel, butanol, or chemical substances such as succinic acid, acetic acid, levulinic acid, and acetone, among others.…”

The incorporation of sustainability aspects into the design of chemical processes has been increasing since the last century. Hence, there are several proposed methodologies and indicators to assess chemical facilities through process analysis techniques. A comprehensive assessment involving economic, environmental, safety, and exergy parameters of two alternatives for butanol production from Manihot esculenta Crantz (cassava waste) is presented in this study. The modeling of process topologies involved using Aspen Plus software. Topology 1 generated a product flow rate of 316,477 t/y of butanol, while this value was 367,037 t/y for topology 2. Both processes used a feed flow of 3,131,439 t/y of biomass. This study used seven technical indicators to evaluate both alternatives, which include the return of investment, discounted payback period, global warming potential, renewability material index, inherent safety index, exergy efficiency, and exergy of waste ratio. Otherwise, this study implemented an aggregate index to assess overall sustainability performance. The results revealed that topology 2 presented higher economic normalized scores for evaluated indicators, but the most crucial difference between these designs came from the safety and exergetic indexes. Topology 1 and topology 2 obtained weighted scores equaling to 0.48 and 0.53; therefore, this study found that the second alternative gives a more sustainable design for butanol production under evaluated conditions.

This work presents a novel procedure for the sustainability evaluation of emerging technologies through the inclusion of exergy-based indicators and the geometric mean formula. The basis of the method comes from the evaluation, prioritization, and assignation of weighting factors that might impact the overall sustainability of a chemical process. Therefore, the metric is based on extending the geometric mean to include associated impacts of an emerging or existing technology based on the sustainable design approach. The concept of weighting and aggregation into the evaluation of sustainability metrics, in this case, includes economic profitability, environmental impacts, safety aspects, and exergy performance to give a unified indicator that evaluates the amplified value gained from a higher performance from the evaluated metrics. Besides, this work verifies the outcomes provided by this approach, implementing a case study to produce chitosan from shrimp exoskeleton. Finally, novel and upcoming insights are discussed comparing performance obtained by implementing the presented metric and the outcomes generated using previously proposed sustainability indicators.
