The efficiency and effectiveness of reverse logistics (RL) is dependent on collection methods as the collection activities are critical in determining the economic viability of the entire recovery chain. The purpose of ...

In this research, effect of physical vapor deposition–coated (TiAlN–TiN) carbide inserts with various edge preparations (cutting edge radius) and rake angles on cutting forces and temperature is studied at different cutting ...

Welding is one of the important processes in most of the manufacturing process chains. In term of material and energy consumption, every welding process is different from each other and thus has different environmental ...

In this research, the effect of heat treatment on the machinability of α/β (Ti54M) and β (Ti10-2-3) titanium alloys was investigated experimentally for the as-received, annealed and solution-treated plus aged conditions. ...

This paper aims at developing an interpretive structural model of drivers for environmentally conscious manufacturing (ECM). It will demonstrate how interpretive structural modeling (ISM) supports policy makers in the ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop hierarchy and inter-relationship among barriers to environmentally conscious manufacturing (ECM) adoption using an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique. The paper will ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the performance measures of world class manufacturing (WCM) and to establish relationship among them using interpretive structural modeling (ISM).

The governments are under tremendous pressure to sustain high manufacturing growth in emerging economies. Unfortunately, the manufacturing sector consumes much energy and other resources and emits a large amount of green ...

Orthogonal tests on cylindrical workpieces were carried out to analyze the effect of heat treatment on the machinability of newly developed Ti54 M titanium alloy in comparison with Ti64. This paper focuses on the comparison ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a sustainability readiness assessment model and a sustainability assessment model for manufacturing organizations.
