Sustainability characterisation for manufacturing processes

Abstract: Manufacturing industries lack the measurement science and the needed information base to measure and effectively compare environmental performances of manufacturing processes, across resources and associated services with respect to sustainability. The current use of ad hoc methods and tools to assess and describe sustainability of manufactured products does not necessarily account for manufacturing processes explicitly, and hence results in inaccurate and ambiguous comparisons. Such comparisons do not proacti… Show more

“…The sustainability of operations of a manufacturer can be improved directly through operational process change, if the state of sustainability performance could be assessed. Process level assessment requires methods and tools for modeling the operation of the production process to analyze the inputs, transformation process, outputs, and its environmental impacts such as energy consumption [130,131]. Such methods use manufacturing data associated with material and manufacturing process to quantify the inputs, outputs, and by-products.…”

“…Shuaib et al [57] forwarded a Product Sustainability Assessment (PSA) that included the 6Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, redesign and remanufacture) and TBL over four life cycle stages (pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, use and post-use) and called it ProdSI. Mani et al [50] used LCA to assess the sustainability of manufacturing processes using only the environmental impacts, with social and economic ones being outside the scope of the work. The fact that it is only environmental impacts that are considered makes the claim to a sustainability assessment disputable.…”

“…When several RTP systems are linked together, as illustrated in Figure 7.10, the similarity to LCA appears [42,[48][49][50]. In fact, if the process systems are defined for matter and energy transformations, the model is quite identical to a system definition that is suitable for applying the Eco-indicator 95 [51] and Eco-indicator 99 [53] LCA tools and deriving the various impacts for effects such as greenhouse effect or acidification.…”
