Sustainability through Green Manufacturing Systems: An Applied Approach

About the course
Sustainability aims to conserve energy and natural resources, and to ensure that they have minimal impact on the environment and society. It targets at fulfilling the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This course provides an overview of the Sustainability through Green Manufacturing Systems; various  methodologies and its application in improving the eco-efficiency are focused.  An additional objective is to provide insights on sustainable aspects of management methodologies such as Lean Manufacturing, Green Supply Chain Management, and Product Life Cycle Management. Simulation of the Manufacturing Systems is also discussed to make the students learn the modern tools that are used in the virtual environment.
