Abstract:
An increase in public environmental awareness and pressures from the government’?s determination to deal with environmental problems force manufacturers to implement green manufacturing (GM). However, since managers and stakeholders lack understanding of GM and its complexity, the manufacturing enterprise, especially the small and medium ones, are constantly facing the problems of how to make a reasonable decision for an environmental problem, and the adopted approaches have no clear payoffs. The customized design, flexible production, and diversified services in customized production make the problems more challenging. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a framework for the implementation of GM in customized products manufacturing enterprises (CPME). A three-layer framework, i.e., the goal layer, the product life-cycle layer and the supporting layer, is designed to provide a methodology to help implement GM. In this model, the GM practice processes are divided into four stages from the life-cycle perspective, i.e. design, production, use, and disposal. The preliminary practice of GM in an electrical product manufacturing company is carried out, and the implementation effect shows that the system framework is helpful to make a comprehensive understanding of GM and to improve the operability of GM practices. The integrated product model is an effective way to integrate the life cycle data.
