Green manufacturing is a key technology to realize eco-industry and sustainable development, it is causing people's great attention. The implementation of green manufacturing has produced revolutionary influence on the products of the manufacturing industry and manufacturing industry. Through analyzing and researching historical evolvement of product attribute, this thesis summarizes the evolvi...

The global development of the world has an adverse affect on the natural environment, such as global warming, is continuing to mount. Green manufacturing systems that focus on minimizing environmental impact of manufacturing processes and products are ever more important to sustain our future. Green manufacturing systems are slow to gain acceptance as manufacturers are focusing more on implemen...

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is one of the recent innovations for the enhancement of capabilities of Supply Chain Management. In this research, we aim to study the various activities of the Supply Chain processes of the various Indian Manufacturing Industries i.e. both SME’s {Small Manufacturing Enterprises} & Large Scale Industries & finds how much ecofriendly they are (i.e. how much %...

Green supply chain management is an increasingly recognized practice among companies that are seeking to improve environmental performance. Of particular concern is how to arouse organizational awareness and put green activities into practice in order to enhance manufacturing performances. This paper investigates the correlation of green supply chain practices and manufacturing performances in ...

As a pillar industry in supporting Chinese economy, Chinese manufacturing industry consumes a large amount of energy and causes serious environmental pollutants. Better understanding the greening level of manufacturing industry is important to promote its green growth. Hence first this study, measures the green growth efficiency for Chinese manufacturing industries by applying the EBM measuring...

Green manufacturing encompasses eco-friendly, energyefficient manufacturing processes and resource preservation practices to make green products and services. Focus of lean systems is on creating efficient manufacturing through wastage reduction. It consists of many best practices for efficient and effective utilization of resources. Lean practices include quality circle, kaizen, Total Quality ...

The paper argues that Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) and Environmentally Benign Manufacturing (EBM) could play a very important role in the context of Green Revolution. The paper analyzes RMS as a machining system which can be created by incorporating basic process modules both hardware and software that can be interchangeable, rearranged or replaced quickly and reliably. The author...

On the basis of analyzing the present situation of iron industry and related literature, points were put out that iron industry in China is now in a dilemma, and social responsibility is default. Then analysis of the relationship between green manufacturing and corporate social responsibility is done. Taking Jinan Steel and Iron Group Corporation for an example, changes are compared from many a...

In the late 1980s, General Motors Corporation (GM) initiated a long-term project to predict and improve the throughput performance of its production lines to increase productivity throughout its manufacturing operations and provide GM with a strategic competitive advantage. GM quantified throughput performance and focused improvement efforts in the design and operations of its manufacturing sys...

Manufacturing systems evolution is afunction in multiple external and internal factors. With today’s global awareness of environmental risks as well as the pressing needs to compete through efficiency, manufacturing systems are evolving into a new paradigm. This paper presents a system model for the new green manufacturing paradigm. The model captures various planning activities to migrate from...
