As now, many people use it as a collective term for advanced technologies, i.e. robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, cloud computing, smart sensors, things, augmented reality, etc. This substantially improves flexibility, quality, productivity, cost, customer satisfaction by transforming existing...

There is an urgent need to control global warming caused by humans achieve a sustainable future. CO2 levels are rising steadily, and while countries worldwide actively moving toward the sustainability goals proposed during Paris Agreement in 2015, we still long way go from achieving mode of operation. The increased popularity cryptocurrencies since introduction Bitcoin 2009 has been accompanied increasing trend greenhouse gas emissions high electrical energy consumption. Popular tracking...

The surface roughness is a widely used index of product quality in terms precision fit mating surfaces, fatigue life improvement, corrosion resistance, aesthetics, etc. Surface also denotes the amount energy and other resources consumed during machining. This paper presents an approach for determining optimum machining parameters leading to minimum by integrating Artificial Neural Network(ANN) Genetic Algorithm (GA). To check capability ANN-GA prediction optimization roughness, real...

Abstract This paper develops a predictive and optimization model by coupling the two artificial intelligence approaches – neural network genetic algorithm as an alternative to conventional in predicting optimal value of machining parameters leading minimum surface roughness. A real experiment has been referred this study check capability proposed for prediction The results predicted indicate good agreement between values experimental values. analysis proves that approach is capable...

Manufacturing firms consume energy and natural resources in highly unsustainable manner release large amounts of green house gases leading to many economic, environmental social problems from climate change local waste disposal. A growing number organizations have begun working towards implementation Green (GM) because increased concerns about the pollution increase, depletion global warming. However, there are barriers which hinder GM. In order mitigate these barriers, prioritization is...

AbstractOwing to the revolution in sustainable and green manufacturing production planning network design of closed loop supply chain concept has got attention researchers managers. In this paper, a multi-product, multi-facility capacitated closed-loop framework is proposed an uncertain environment including reuse, refurbish, recycle disposal parts. The uncertainty related demand, fraction parts recovered for different product recovery processes, acquisition cost, purchasing transportation...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose an integrated performance measurement framework measure the effect lean implementation throughout all functions organization. Design/methodology/approach identifies seven categories representing organizational functions. These have been divided into 26 dimensions and key indicators (KPIs) for each dimension identified performance. interrelationship category with principles and/or wastes has identified. KPIs are developed on basis criteria,...

The use of large amount plastic has created environment threats and thus it needs to be recycled. recycling waste requires energy but the production with conventional sources depletes natural resources creates environmental degradation. This study aims assess compare economic impacts from PET bottle renewable electricity in India. An experiment is conducted wherein used make filament for 3-D printing by using three different scenarios. Scenario A uses virgin granules Indian mix, scenario B C...

Sustainability aims to meet the demands of present generation as well improve quality life, develop economy, conserve resources, and protect environment for future generations. Additive manufacturing is one techniques achieve sustainability in manufacturing. Life cycle assessment a useful tool ensure viability applicability new technology assess whether it offers tangible benefits compared conventional methods. There hardly any comparative study on life widely used filament materials. This...

Manufacturing firms consume energy and natural resources in highly unsustainable manner release large amounts of green house gases leading to many economic, environmental social problems from climate change local waste disposal. Consciousness about these issues has led a new manufacturing paradigm environmentally conscious (ECM). However, there are various barriers the implementation ECM. A proper understanding analysis will allow management company government prioritise their focus mitigate...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the green manufacturing and similar frameworks in order trace origin, definitions, scope, similarities, differences, publications these frameworks. Design/methodology/approach A 113 research articles conducted for various terms, namely, (GM); environmentally conscious manufacturing; responsible benign sustainable clean cleaner production; production with reference triple bottom line, product life cycle engineering, systems approach, resource...

The governments are under tremendous pressure to sustain manufacturing growth particularly in emerging and developing economies improve quality of life their citizen. Unfortunately, the sector consumes lot energy other resources emits large amounts green house gases which increase environmental problems like climate change global warming. One possible solution this problem is (GM) implementation industry. However, GM faces many challenges. Government industry should provide motivation make...

This paper presents a life cycle assessment (LCA) of waste water treatment plant (WWTP) in university campus India. Various emissions coming from the WWTP along with their impact factors are analyzed using LCA software Umberto NXT Universal utilizing Eco-invent database v3.0. It has been found that recycled provides positive on assessed categories. Effect system is overriding effect other categories like terrestrial eco-toxicity potential, global warming particulate matter formation, fossil...

Reverse logistics is a great enabler for sustainable production and resource circulation. Its definition scope are still evolving since early 1980s. But, collection, sorting/testing, recovery redistribution assumed as the basic four activities in reverse logistics. Unfortunately, many researchers assume by its literary meaning plan logistic take decisions based on forward or supply chain principles. There hardly any academic research performance evaluation decision variables This paper aims...

The energy efficiency is important evaluation criterion for new investment in machinery and equipment addition to the classical parameters accuracy, performance, cost reliability. Even users automotive industry demand acquisitions of consumed by a machine tool during machining. Large interrelated that influence consumption make development an appropriate predictive model very difficult task. In this paper, real machining experiment referred investigate capability artificial neural network...

Ever increasing customer choices, environmental concerns and competitiveness among manufacturers across the globe has engaged industry to embrace newer manufacturing strategies. Predominantly, there are three dimensions modern systems viz. economic, social. The integration of lean-green-agile strategies would be a complete comprehensive system which is need 21st century. adoption Lean-Green-Agile Manufacturing System (LGAMS) facilitated by few enablers. influence these enablers matter...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review various themes leanness, leanness assessment approaches, areas, and their evolution by a systematic literature (SLR). Design/methodology/approach eight types methodologies are identified compared. SLR selected after critically analyzing the reviews. A four-phased (i.e. plan, do, analyze/synthesize, propose) has been carried out based on peer-reviewed journal conference articles assessment. Findings existing shows lack review-based papers lean...

Purpose The concept of green supply chain management (GSCM) is evolving rapidly due to the environmental concerns and gaining popularity in research community.
