Abstract. This paper discusses the techniques used for optimization in manufacturing system. Although problem domain is focused on sustainable manufacturing, techniques used to optimize general manufacturing system were also discussed. Important aspects of Design for Remanufacturing (DFReM) considered include indexes, weighted average, grey decision making and Fuzzy TOPSIS. The limitation of existing techniques are most of them is highly based on decision maker's perspective. Different experts may have different understanding and eventually scale it differently. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to determine available techniques and identify the lacking feature in it. Once all the techniques have been reviewed, a decision will be made by create another technique which should counter the lacking of discussed techniques.In this paper, shows that the hybrid computation of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is suitable and fill the gap of all discussed technique.

“…Tagaras and Zikopoulos [8] examined whether it was advisable to establish a sorting procedure performed either centrally or locally at the collection sites to classify errors and subsequently identify cores that are suitable for remanufacturing before disassembly. Due to the lack of clearly defined sustainability indicators which might be used in the assessment of remanufacturing activities, Golinska, Kosacka [9] provided a new tool for decision-making based on Grey's decisions to help in classifying the current state of remanufacturing operations and prioritizing operations which need improvement. With respect to disassembly for remanufacturing, Lind, Olsson [10] used a strategic approach to examine how product, process and organisational design affect disassembly strategies by grouping the factors that affect disassembly within the remanufacturing process.…”

Remanufacturing is a process of returning a used product to at least its original performance with a warranty that is equivalent or better than that of a newly manufactured product. During a preliminary inspection on remanufacturing companies, it was found that there is no end life for crankshafts in terms of classifying it either to remanufacture, repair or reject due to limited information provided by the original equipment manufacturer. The manufacturer did not provide any information on the annual quantity produced and their specifications to the remanufacturing company for the purpose of referencing. Eventually, the distinctiveness of the remanufactured crankshaft from the original cannot be measured. Thus, the aim of this work is to classify crankshafts' end life into recovery operations based on the Mahalanobis-Taguchi System. The crankpin diameter of six engine models were measured in order to develop a scale that represents their population in a scatter diagram. It was found that on the diagram of each engine model, the left distributions from the center point belong to rejected crankshafts, the right distributions belong to re-manufacturable crankshafts, and the upper distributions belong to the repairable crankshafts. The developed scale is believed to be able to help remanufacturers instantaneously identify and match any unknown model crankshafts to its right category. The Ministry of International Trade & Industry (MITI) has established a remanufacturing policy under RMK11 and put in efforts to encourage Malaysians to venture into the remanufacturing business. Thus, this model will help the industry to understand and formulate their decision-making to sustain the end of life of their products.

“…Among the developed indicators measuring environmental sustainability are: eco-efficiency as a link between environmental and economic performance; net present value or net benefit, environmental footprint and many others [8]. All these indicators and others presented in [9], mainly based on LCA, aim to reduce environmental impact with achieving economic values or profits. Environmental indicators are typically grouped into resource usage indicators (material, energy, water, and land) and pollution indicators (global warming, atmospheric acidification, photochemical smog formation, human health effect).…”

Measuring energy has been widely considered as one of the most cost-effective ways to improve energy efficiency leading to the energy sustainability by decreasing impact on the environment. The literature on energy efficiency and sustainability assessment methods, applied on the industrial processes is still under development. With regard to the production systems, activities mainly address separate improvement measures for energy savings, but there is no methodology for assessing the integrated effects from a combined analysis of energy, pollutions, and benefits so far. The aim of the paper is to provide a new look at an environmental sustainability assessment of energy-efficiency in production systems combining LCA-based methods energy efficiency optimization technique, and Data Envelopment Analysis. The results show mitigation of energy impact on the environmental bringing net benefits in nine production systems. It might contribute how the application of the assessment method can contribute towards developing the environmental sustainability performance measure within them.
