ABSTRACT

Green manufacturing represents a paradigm shift towards sustainable production processes that minimize environmental impact by reducing energy consumption and conserving natural resources. This paper explores green manufacturing strategies, focusing on the adoption of energy-efficient technologies, the use of recycled materials, and the redesign of manufacturing processes to minimize waste and emissions. The research highlights the importance of energy reduction at multiple system levels—process, equipment, facility, and supply chain—demonstrating how dynamic scheduling and modern technologies can lead to significant energy savings. The study emphasizes the growing need for industries to adopt green manufacturing practices as a response to global warming and environmental degradation, while also recognizing the financial benefits of reduced energy consumption. The integration of environmentally friendly designs, sustainable materials, and optimized energy usage throughout the manufacturing process is presented as crucial to achieving both economic and environmental sustainability in the manufacturing sector.
