The main aim of the review is to address the importance of computations in the analyses of manufacturing processes during efficient materials design, tool design, and process design. Initially, the evolution of computations in manufacturing industries is highlighted. The applications of different computational approaches like numerical simulations, analytical modeling, soft computing, etc. in solving metal forming and joining problems are presented. Though there are several manufacturing processes, metal forming and joining applications are included in the present work. The later part of the review is about green manufacturing and sustainability, their relation with computations and manufacturing education. The green manufacturing and sustainability practices in different industries/fields (like automotive, machining, steel, food processing, computers, electronics) are tabulated. The significance of computations in green manufacturing and sustainability issues are described with a few examples from available literature. The last part of the work is about improving the awareness of green and sustainability concepts through manufacturing education. In this, the possible ways of modifying the present course content of ‘manufacturing technology’ in under-graduate education are suggested, by giving importance to green and sustainability concepts. The role of computations in manufacturing education is summarized finally.

“…Product development is a highly developed activity at the core of the free market economy and issues such as cost, performance and quality are all routinely considered (Vieira et al, 2010). But the environmental impacts of a product have been less central to the concern of an industrialist in the past.…”

“…The longitudinal approach which underpins IPP is the life‐cycle approach (Baumann and Tillman, 2004 as discussed in Vieira et al (2010)) which addresses the environmental impacts of the product from cradle to grave (Baumann and Tillman, 2004). Product development is a highly developed activity at the core of the free market economy and issues such as cost, performance and quality are all routinely considered (Vieira et al , 2010). But the environmental impacts of a product have been less central to the concern of an industrialist in the past.…”

“…But life‐cycle thinking has brought a scientific approach to the mechanism for addressing the impacts that a product will have on the environment during its lifetime (European Commission, DG Enterprise and Industry, 2010). It aims to undertake an inventory of the impacts during the various stages of the life cycle from production to use and to disposal which are measured, using existing data (Vieira et al , 2010)[2]. The object is to identify all the impacts so as to avoid moving the problem along the life cycle.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the Ecodesign Directive and the extent to which it provides a regulatory framework for life-cycle assessment approaches which underlie integrated product policy (IPP), thus providing a horizontal approach to product legislation as a new approach to regulating pollution. Design/methodology/approach -The paper draws on academic commentary as well as official papers, European communications and legislation. Findings -The development and application of the Ecodesign Directive is highlighted along with the different regulatory approach it poses which is shown to result from the application of life-cycle assessment and IPP. Practical implications -The impact on the development of products will be extensive in that they will be required by mandatory rules to be designed with a view to the reduction of their whole life environmental impacts. Originality/value -The approach is to highlight a new paradigm for regulating pollution and environmental impacts.
