“…These unit processes are linked to form production systems for new products, or to form reverse production systems to remanufacture end-of-life (EOL) products. Mathematical models of unit manufacturing processes can be used in design to quantify and reduce materials and energy use and wastes and emissions, while enhancing productivity and reducing costs (Arinez et al, 2010). The relevant research questions for consideration in this focus area include: (1) How do design variants impact supply chain sustainability measures (e.g., cost and carbon footprint) through materials, manufacturing processes, and assembly operations?…”

a b s t r a c tAlthough sustainability is a frequent topic in product development literature, the often segmented and narrow scope of prior works limits the potential benefits of the industrial application of methods, models, and tools developed by the research community. The work herein has the goal of coalescing relevant, recent work supporting the economic and environmental aspects of sustainability for early stage product development by focusing on the interfaces between product design and supply chain operations. This discussion is intended to highlight past accomplishments and to be a call for action to the research community for the development of integrated methods, models, and tools to support sustainability initiatives across product supply chains. A literature review spanning product design, manufacturing, and supply operations management reveals several near-term research needs, which are organized into four highly promising foci addressing product architecture engineering, assembly/ disassembly operation modeling, manufacturing process modeling, and joint optimization of life cycle activities. Finally, potential avenues for future collaborative research are presented and discussed.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are critical for manufacturing operation management and continuous improvement (CI). In modern manufacturing systems, KPIs are defined as a set of metrics to reflect operation performance, such as efficiency, throughput, availability, from productivity, quality and maintenance perspectives. Through continuous monitoring and measurement of KPIs, meaningful quantification and identification of different aspects of operation activities can be obtained, which enable and direct CI efforts. A set of 34 KPIs has been introduced in ISO 22400. However, the KPIs in a manufacturing system are not independent, and they may have intrinsic mutual relationships. The goal of this paper is to introduce a multi-level structure for identification and analysis of KPIs and their intrinsic relationships in production systems. Specifically, through such a hierarchical structure, we define and layer KPIs into levels of basic KPIs, comprehensive KPIs and their supporting metrics, and use it to investigate the relationships and dependencies between KPIs. Such a study can provide a useful tool for manufacturing engineers and managers to measure and utilize KPIs for CI.

A growing number of manufacturing industries are initiating efforts to address sustainability issues. A study by the National Association of Manufacturers indicated that the manufacturing sector currently accounts for over a third of all energy consumed in the United States. There are many areas and opportunities to reduce energy costs and pollution emissions within a manufacturing facility. One way to achieve an energy efficient manufacturing system is to measure and evaluate the combined impact of process energy from manufacturing operations, their resources (e.g., plant floor equipment), and facility energy from building services (e.g., ventilation, lighting). In this paper, issues associated with integrating production system, process energy, and facility energy to improve manufacturing sustainability are explored. A modeling and simulation case study of analyzing energy consumption in a precision casting operation is discussed. 1 INTRODUCTION A driving force behind sustainable manufacturing is cleaner and more efficient production. The U.S. Department of Commerce defines sustainable manufacturing as "the creation of manufactured products that use processes that are non-polluting, conserve energy and natural resources, and are economically sound and safe for employees, communities, and consumers." Sustainable manufacturing covers a wide range of concepts, including profit, environmental impact, product life cycle, user experience, recyclability, etc., but currently energy consumption commands great attention since it improves both the bottom line and the environment. Energy management is challenging for manufacturing due to the difficulty that arises from the diversity of energy use-there are thousands of processes, each having unique energy consumption characteristics as well as different production requirements based on the product, product quality, environmental compliance, and other business factors (U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment 1993). The motivation for striving for more energy efficient manufacturing is well-documented. It is estimated that manufacturing in the United States uses one-third of all the energy consumed (U.S. Department of Energy 2004). Considering that buildings constitute about 39 % of all energy use, a substantial portion of manufacturing energy use is attributable to the building facility apart from any manufacturing activities. Thus, to achieve sustainable manufacturing, one must consider the energy consumption impacts of both production and the associated factory. Given these energy numbers, the smarter integration of production system, process energy, and facility energy data presents a clear-cut opportunity to improve manufacturing sustainability (Arinez and Biller 2009). Integrating the knowledge of the process and facility is critical for achieving more sustainable manufacturing operations. Unfortunately, production and facility energy relationships are modeled in a suboptimal way. Part of the problem can be attributed to the functionality schism between energy m...
