Item A sustainability assessment framework for cement industry – a case study(Emerald, 2019-02) Digalwar, Abhijeet K.; Sangwan, Kuldip SinghThe purpose of this paper is to develop a framework and key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess the sustainability of the manufacturing organizations along the integrated supply chain.Item Life Cycle Assessment of Smithy Training Processes(Elsevier, 2013) Sangwan, Kuldip Singh; Digalwar, Abhijeet K.Sustainability has long been a part of social responsibility. Today sustainability is a part of the core business strategies. It is viewed with environmental and economic perspectives. India, being a manufacturing hub has to deal with the problem of environmental and social impacts of these manufacturing operations. Smithy operations have large adverse impact on the environment. Life-cycle analysis should be applied to alleviate and reflect environmental burdens of this process. This paper presents the basic concepts of sustainability and life cycle analysis. A study has been carried out in the context of smithy training process. Software tool Umberto 5.6 with eco-invent 2.2 database is used for analysis. The effect of smithy training in term of acidification potential, climate change, eutrophication potential, freshwater aquatic, eco-toxicity, marine aquatic eco- toxicity, human toxicity, ionizing radiation, land use, photochemical Ox (smog), and stratospheric ozone depletion.Item Sustainability Assessment Framework for Manufacturing Sector – A Conceptual Model(Elsevier, 2018) Sangwan, Kuldip Singh; Digalwar, Abhijeet K.There is lack of structured methodological frameworks to assess sustainability of manufacturing organizations. The effective sustainability assessment is a challenge for manufacturers, researchers and governments. This paper proposes a hierarchical framework for sustainability assessment of manufacturing organizations. The proposed framework consists elements/performance measures to improve and assess the organizational policies, people, products, processes, and performance from triple bottom line perspective. The sustainability assessment captures the whole supply chain of the organization including end of life strategies for products. The framework has been tested using data from a cement manufacturing organization. A model of framework performance measures/elements has been developed using interpretive structure modelling (ISM).
