N2 - Evaluating sustainable manufacturing practices requires a focus on all four life-cycle stages (pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, use and post-use) in terms of economic, environmental and societal impact from product, process and systems perspectives. As activities spanning the life-cycle of products are conducted by numerous companies that constitute its supply chain, well-defined metrics are necessary for system-level manufacturing sustainability evaluation. This paper presents an integrated approach to developing metrics for sustainable supply chain (SSC) assessment. The process of metrics development following this approach is demonstrated for one level (enterprises) in the systems hierarchy.
