Abstract
Manufacturing industry has been facing tremendous pressure on environmental regulations like the reduction of pollutants, e.g., carbon dioxide. Limited natural resources have driven manufacturing companies to seek ways to reduce energy consumption for daily production. Manufacturing industry needs to consider sustainability for green manufacturing during the entire product life cycle. Conventional product life cycle management has not considered energy consumption with respect to product manufacturing. This paper proposes a new product life cycle management information model by considering the sustainability aspects. And a framework is presented to conduct energy simulation for analyzing the impact of sustainability on manufacturing. Analysis results show that the energy simulation using the sustainability-enabled product life cycle management information model could assist the manufacturing industry to save energy.
