Abstract
Environmental issues are becoming more and more important in manufacturing, sustainable production and environmentally benign manufacturing because of rising concerns regarding climate change, depletion of natural resources and pollution. Lean manufacturing, identification and elimination of waste and production losses, and environmental considerations are all needed during development of a sustainable manufacturing system. In the design phase a multitude of system dimensions must be jointly optimized and the engineers need holistic decision support, otherwise sub-optimization is more likely to occur. Modelling, simulation and digital engineering tools and procedures have had a positive impact on the manufacturing industry as decision-making support. This paper reviews some suitable modelling and simulation approaches for environmental impact analysis during manufacturing system development, shows a link between lean manufacturing, sustainable manufacturing and environmental impacts. A case study on method integration is currently under way.
