Abstract:

The industrial sector driven by profitability and competitiveness faces with daunting challenges of energy demand, environmental constraints and credible high-quality performance in its operations. The  modern  methods  of  energy management,  environmental  management  and  quality management focus on pathways to more efficient, cost-effective and competitive operation within an integrated framework of the standards. Many countries already adopted the national standards and  frameworks  have  proven  to  have  a  success  report  in  increased  awareness.  The  common elements of the standards provide the methodology to be integrated systematically. Hence, in this work  a  systematic  modeling approach  is  proposed  that  will  serve  as  a  guidance  to  fulfill  the required key performance indicators of energy, environmental and quality aspects in an industrial manufacturing system under the guidance of the international standards.

Moreover,  the  industrial  and  technological  developments  devoted  to  the  practice  of  advanced industrial and manufacturing processes are of essence as a part of the strategy to be considered in the proposed systematic modeling approach. In this respect, the measurement technology meets the  essential  information  and  know-how  to  provide solutions  to  the  operations  of  industrial manufacturing  industry  development.  Therefore,  contribution  of  the metrology  is  clarified  and related within  the proposed systematic model together with the international standards defining measurable  and  correlated  parameters  that  provide  furthermore  the  prospects  of  advanced manufacturing systems.
