  • A collection of tools for factory eco-efficiency 
    Despeisse, Melanie; Davé, Aanand; Litos, Lampros; Roberts, Simon; Ball, Peter D.; Evans, Stephen (Elsevier, 2016-02-19)
    co-efficiency is generally defined as doing more with less, aiming to decouple environmental impact from economic and social value creation. This paper presents three tools to guide the implementation of eco-efficiency ...
  • Design of sustainable industrial systems by integrated modeling of factory building and manufacturing processes 
    Despeisse, Melanie; Ball, Peter D. (Elsevier, 2012)
    This paper presents an integrated approach that combines ‘Sustainable Building Design’ tools and ‘Sustainable Manufacturing Process’ tools to create a tool for the design of sustainable manufacturing systems.’ Currently ...
  • The emergence of sustainable manufacturing practices 
    Despeisse, Melanie; Mbaye, F.; Ball, Peter D.; Levers, A. (Taylor & Francis, 2012-05-01)
    Sustainable manufacturing appears to be a rapidly developing field and it would be expected that there is a growing body of knowledge in this area. Initial examination of the literature shows evidence of sustainable work ...
  • Factory modelling: combining energy modelling for buildings and production systems 
    Ball, Peter D.; Despeisse, Melanie; Evans, Stephen; Greenough, Richard M.; Hope, Steve B.; Kerrigan, Ruth; Levers, A.; Lunt, Peter A. V.; Murray, Vincent; Oates, Michael R.; Shao, Li; Waltniel, Timothy; Wright, A. (Springer, 2013-12-31)
    Traditionally, manufacturing facilities and building services are analysed separately to manufacturing operations. This is despite manufacturing operations using and discarding energy with the support of facilities. Therefore ...
  • Industrial ecology at factory level: a conceptual model 
    Despeisse, Melanie; Ball, Peter D.; Evans, Stephen; Levers, A. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2012-08-31)
    Growing environmental concerns caused by natural resource depletion and pollution need to be addressed. One approach to these problems is Sustainable Development, a key concept for our society to meet present as well as ...
  • Industrial ecology at factory level: a prototype methodology 
    Despeisse, Melanie; Ball, Peter D.; Evans, Stephen; Levers, A. (Professional Engineering Publishing, 2012-10-31)
    The concept of sustainable manufacturing is a form of pollution prevention that integrates environmental considerations in the production of goods while focusing on efficient resource use. Taking the industrial ecology ...
  • Sustainable manufacturing tactics and cross-functional factory modelling 
    Despeisse, Melanie; Oates, Michael R.; Ball, Peter D. (Elsevier, 2013-03)
    Manufacturers are under increasing pressure from stakeholders and stricter regulations to reduce the environmental impact of their activities. The research on sustainability in general and on sustainable manufacturing in ...
  • Sustainable manufacturing tactics and improvement methodology : a structured and systematic approach to identify improvement opportunities 
    Despeisse, Melanie (Cranfield University, 2013-04)
    Growing environmental concerns caused by increasing consumption of natural resources and pollution need to be addressed. Manufacturing dictates the efficiency with which resource inputs are transformed into economically ...
  • Zero carbon manufacturing through process flow modelling 
    Despeisse, Melanie; Ball, Peter; Evans, Steve; Levers, Andy (2012-10-16)
    The pressure on natural resources and emerging environmental legislation are leading manufacturers to adopt solutions to reduce their environmental impact, thereby becoming more sustainable, while enhancing competitiveness. ...
