Abstract
To enhance the competitiveness of Japanese industries, continuous R&D efforts of elemental technologies are important. It is also helpful to know the overview of the area to enhance efficiency of the developments. In industrial technologies, since the practical needs in future are the strong driving force, it is necessary to determine appropriate targets of development. Thus, making roadmaps of technological area is useful to know the appropriate and efficient targets of development. Since Inverse Manufacturing Forum is a research association covering R&D area of sustainable manufacturing technologies, the mission to make the roadmap was outsourced to a committee based on Inverse Manufacturing Forum which was organized under Manufacturing Science and Technology Center. This paper briefly introduces about the history and overview of the roadmapping effort of sustainable manufacturing technologies.
