Sustainable Manufacturing and Design draws together research and practices from a wide range of disciplines to help engineers design more environmentally sustainable products. Sustainable manufacturing requires that the entire manufacturing enterprise adopts sustainability goals at a system-level in decision-making, and the scope of this book covers a wide range of viewpoints in response. Advice on recyclability, zero landfill design, sustainable quality systems, and product take-back issues make this a highly usable guide to the challenges facing engineering designers today. Contributions from around the globe are included, helping to form an international view of an issue that requires a global response. As manufacturing is one of the foundations of the global economy, improving the sustainability of the industry is important to maintaining an ecological balance. Addresses methods to reduce energy and well as material waste through manufacturing designHelps to troubleshoot manufacturability problems that can arise in sustainable designIncludes coverage of the legislative, cultural, and social impacts of sustainable manufacturing, promoting a holistic view of the subject INDICE: 1.
