Abstract
Digital engineering tools and procedures have had a
positive impact on the European manufacturing industry.
However, to design a sustainable manufacturing system, a
multitude of system dimensions has to be jointly
optimized. We propose an integrated simulation tool
helping to maximize production efficiency and to balance
environmental constraints. Lean manufacturing,
identification and elimination of waste, production
losses as well as environmental considerations are needed
during a sustainable manufacturing system design phase.
Engineers designing a manufacturing system need decision
support since sub-optimisation otherwise will be more
likely to occur.
