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 presentwithout compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This course provides an overview of realizing Green Manufacturing Systems. Compared to conventional manufacturing process that is purely productivity driven; various strategies and applicationsare necessary to improve the ecology first focus of green manufacturing. Specific tools and relevant case studies are presented to provide an engineering approach to the course.
