Carbon accounting is primarily a process for measuring, reporting, and allocating greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, thus enabling informed decision-making to mitigate climate change and foster responsible ...

In times of large-scale crises, seemingly streamlined supply chains could become prone to unforeseen disruptions, leading to interruption in the provision of vital supplies. This could lead to severe consequences if such ...

In this paper, model-based sustainability assessment framework with social impact considerations is developed. The framework integrates the stochastic, nonlinear, and complex interrelationships that characterize most ...

With many of the world’s governments committing to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by mid-century, with well-defined milestones along the road, it is important to investigate how each sector can contribute ...

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) bring new possibilities toward meeting demand fluctuations while, at the same time, challenges scheduling efficiency. This paper presents a novel approach that, for the scheduling ...

This work presents a framework to assess the robustness of manufacturing systems. Robustness, which is an indicator of the system’s ability to maintain its desired performance in face of disturbances, is quantified considering ...

Over the years, electronic waste accumulation has been on a steep rise, parallel with the technological evolution of electrical and electronic equipment. Companies have adopted circular economy approach to overcome the ...
