Evolutionary Manufacturing, Design and Operational Practices for Resource and Environmental Sustainability

The purpose of this book is to document the use of digital technologies and the latest developments in mechanical and industrial engineering to enhance environmental and resource sustainability. As one of the highest resource priorities, this book documents helpful information on sustainable development and its impacts on products and consumption factors of a product's life cycle. Readers will understand human development goals that prevent system breakdown and the utilization of big data analytics in business trends for environmental sustainability.

Key Features Include:

• Delves into the impact of sustainable operational practices and supply chain management for Digital Technology techniques and the design for efficient remanufacturing processes
• Provides information on advanced materials and developments for sustainable manufacturing, including an in-depth exploration of cutting-edge technology for synthesis processing, fabrication, and performance evaluation
• Covers use, benefits, and issues of sustainable manufacturing practices digital technologies in the industry
• Addresses aspects of sustainable innovation in mechanical design for nation-building
• Talks about heat transfer and fluid flow concepts for sustainable product development and application from the construction of energy systems by enhancing the process of energy conversion by making it a renewable source
