Abstract
Manufacturing simulation and digital engineering tools
and procedures have had a positive impact on the
manufacturing industry. However, to design a sustainable
manufacturing system, a multitude of system dimensions
must be jointly optimized. This paper proposes an
integrated simulation tool helping to maximize production
efficiency and balance environmental constraints already
in the system design phase. Lean manufacturing,
identification and elimination of waste and production
losses, and environmental considerations are all needed
during development of a sustainable manufacturing system.
Engineers designing the manufacturing system need
decision support, otherwise sub-optimization is more
likely to occur. We present methods for calculating
energy efficiency, CO2 emissions and other environmental
impacts integrated into factory simulation software.
