Design and Operations of Seru Manufacturing: Case Study

A new manufacturing system, Seru Manufacturing Systems(SMS), has been widely applied in Japanese electronic industry. Through comparing with other three similar manufacturing systems, the organizational characeristics of SMS were discussed from three levels based on case studies, i.e., manufacturing system, manufacturing strategy, and industry application. The results show that SMS can satisfy ...

A System Dynamics Modeling Framework for Sustainable Manufacturing

This paper proposes a framework for application of system dynamics modeling to sustainable manufacturing. Sustainable manufacturing involves interaction of multiple complex systems including those in manufacturing, environmental, financial, and social domains. A concerted effort involving a number of researchers may be required to develop the requisite capability to model sustainable manufactur...

Design and Implementation of a PLM System for Sustainable Manufacturing

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, manufacturing industries have primarily been responsible for adverse effects on the environment caused by pollutants such as carbon dioxide. Therefore, there has been tremendous pressure for these industries to be globally competitive within the range of environmental regulations and laws, which has been greatly increased and reinforced these da...
