Abstract

In today’s manufacturing environment, a process planning needs to be adaptable to changeable requirements due to the changes of seasons, economic situations, etc. In order to improve the adaptability and reduce the environmental impact of the process planning, a sustainability evaluation method of process logistics in workshop is proposed based on the carbon footprint and adaptability. For different process logistics schemes, the production cost, carbon emission and robustness are established. Then, a relative sustainability index is put forward via grey relational analysis to carry out a comprehensive assessment of a process logistics scheme. Finally, a case of a manufacturing workshop which processes aircraft landing gears is investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation method.
