What is Sustainability?• Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends,
either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment
• Meeting the needs of present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
The Brundtland Report is most often cited for its definition of sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Triple Bottom Line(Three Pillars of Sustainability)
Question: Why the triple bottom lines are important?PlanetHuman
Economic
Which pillar is ranked top priority?
Environmental sustainability must have the highest
priority, because the lower the carrying capacity of the
environment, the lower the common good delivered by
the social system and the less output the economic.
Question:
The second and third priority in sustainability?
Why we have the concept of sustainability?
SUSTAINABILITY= BALANCING OF PLANET (Environment, Resources),
HUMAN (NEEDS), ECONOMICS (Development)
By, 2050 the world populations are expected to reach 10billions.
Question:How to slow down of control the population growth?
What are the impact of fast population growth?
Elements of the three pillars
Example:
Let discuss about “RECHAREBLE BATTERY” and the three pillar of sustainability. Is rechargeable battery can save the environment?
Application of Sustainability Concept
Let discuss:
What is sustainable transportation.
Sustainable Manufacturing Definition
Sustainable manufacturing: A process that …
•demonstrate reduced negative environmental impact•offer improved energy and resource efficiency•generate minimum quantity of wastes•provide operational safety•offer improved personal healthwhile maintaining and/or improving the product (add value to the product)
Product produced without compromise it main function-serve its original purpose
Wood fiber base straw
Elements of Sustainable Manufacturing
Example:Systems: control system, operation planning system, automation system, robotic system Products: non-toxic product, green product, ease to recycle product, green materialsProcess: energy efficiency process, energy saving machine, less chemical process, less assemblies
Break into three groupsSelect one of your company product/process/system and discuss on it (how to integrate with sustainability concept)
Group 1:1. Atiqah2. Zaky3. Zulrahman4. Asyraf5. Faiz
Group 2:1. Hasrul2. Naqib3. Ridzuan4. Nor Farhadina5. Nur Syafiq
Group 3:1. Ong2. Razali3. Steve4. Jeevan5. Yogeswaran
Sustainable Manufacturing: Relevant Terms and Definitions
Examples:• Environmentally responsible manufacturing• Environmentally benign manufacturing• Cleaner production & manufacturing• Lean manufacturing• Energy efficient manufacturing• Manufacturing using renewable source of energy• Green manufacturing • Green production
Sustainable Manufacturing: Basic Elements Expectations:
• Reducing energy consumption• Reducing waste• Reducing material utilization• Enhancing product durability• Increasing operational safety• Reducing toxic dispersion• Reducing health hazards/Improving health conditions• Consistently improving manufacturing quality• Improving recycling, reuse and remanufacturing• Maximizing sustainable sources of renewable energy
Lets discuss, how to fabricate below parts through sustainable manufacturing
Elements in Sustainable Manufacturing Process
Example:Considering you want to fabricate a part/product, you need to consider these factors.
Please list out the benefits of sustainable manufacturing processes
How about the barriers in sustainable manufacturing processes?
Environment Social /Human Economic
Sustainable Manufacturing: Design objectives (during design phase)
• Designing for Repair, Reuse and Recycling• Designing for Waste Minimization• Designing for Product Disassembly• Designing for Energy Efficiency• Designing for Product Remanufacturing• Designing for Remanufacturing• Designing for Serviceability• Designing for Reduced Materials Use• Design and Manufacture for Reduced Costs• Sustainable Design and Manufacture (Designing for Sustainability)
Sustainable Manufacturing: Design objectives (during design phase)
• Designing for Repair, Reuse and Recycling• Designing for Waste Minimization• Designing for Product Disassembly• Designing for Energy Efficiency• Designing for Product Remanufacturing• Designing for Remanufacturing• Designing for Serviceability• Designing for Reduced Materials Use• Design and Manufacture for Reduced Costs• Sustainable Design and Manufacture (Designing for Sustainability)
Sustainable Manufacturing: Definition (relate to design)
Design and manufacture of high quality/performance of products with improved/enhanced functionality using energy-efficient, toxic-free, hazardless, safe and secure technologies and manufacturing methods utilizing optimal resources and energy by producing minimum wastes and emissions, and providing maximum recovery, recyclability, reusability, remanufacturability, with redesign features, and all aimed at enhanced societal benefits and economic impact.
Example:Water bottle made from wood fiber.
Sustainable Manufacturing: Focus
Considering the life cycle of a product: design, make, use, end of life
Let discuss: how to ensure the product below meet the goals of sustainable manufacturing
Plastics bottles
Evolution of Sustainable Manufacturing
Based on the research done by Prof I.S. Jawahair, 2006
Product Life Cycle • Traditionally after the design of the product, the part prints
are released for production.• The production engineering section make the feasibility of
production of the product.• After process planning is done, the product can be
manufactured at the lower possible cost.• Any design improvement to be done at this stage without
compromising on its functionality.• Having decided on the process plan for manufacture such as
tooling, new equipment, raw material, detailed operational instructions to shop floor
Traditionally, how a product was made….
Close loop material flow in manufacturing(cradle to cradle)
Let discuss:What is
Cradle to graveVs
Cradle to grave
Material flow and its Interaction with 6Rs
Product Value Gain from 6R strategies
Sustainable Manufacturing: Integrated Innovation System
The changes towards sustainable manufacturing:
1. system, e.g assessment tool 2. process improvement (less
energy process)3. innovation in product (recycled
materials, lighter and greener materials)
Design to rethink: rethink of the process, product, system (share the information of good innovation in
Finland, Denmark, Germany)
Sustainable Manufacturing: Integrated Innovation System
Let discuss:
How innovation can ease sustainable manufacturing
implementation?
