Abstract
In recent years, sustainable manufacturing has emerged as a promising new direction to boost economic growth, while enhancing greater environmental and societal benefits. Promoting sustainable manufacturing requires an emphasis on all product life-cycle stages (pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, use and post-use) for closed-loop material flow using 6R methodologies (reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, redesign, and remanufacture) through innovation at the product, process, and systems levels. This chapter presents a summary of the recently developed metrics-based sustainability evaluation methodology for manufactured products and manufacturing processes through Product Sustainability Index (ProdSI) and Process Sustainability Index (ProcSI) tools. Case studies are used to demonstrate the application of the tools.
