Application of the pentagonal W-ECO model for manufacturing based on "SDGs"

Journal of Machine Engineering

2022

Vol. 22, No. 1

25--42

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were proposed to ensure the well-being of everyone on earth, a purpose to which all the fields, including manufacturing, must contribute. However, although industry is implementing this laudable concept in a piecemeal fashion, it is currently unlikely to achieve all 169 targets in the 17 Goals by the SDG deadline of 2030. Therefore, qualitative and quantitative achievement indicators and effective evaluation methods are needed to achieve the 17 goals of the SDGs when developing industrial products. Therefore, in this study, the manufacturing in response to the 17 goals and the 169 targets of the SDGs is considered, and the application of the pentagonal W-ECO model for manufacturing based on the SDGs was proposed. First, the current situation of manufacturing was considered from an environmental perspective, which is also important for the SGDs. Secondly, product’s lifespan which is deeply related to the environment, was discussed in terms of the correlation between time, technology and environment, and "Re" technology was proposed to extend product's lifespan and save resources. Then three cases of development for environmental conservation were introduced to understand the current situation, and it was confirmed that the new technologies in the three cases can contribute to the achievement of SDGs, however the degree of their contribution couldn't be evaluated quantitatively. Finally, the previous three cases using the proposed pentagonal W-ECO model quantitatively evaluated and confirmed that the results of the evaluation provide a quantitative indicator for achieving the SDGs. As a result, the effectiveness of the pentagonal W-ECO model for manufacturing based on SDGs is evaluated.

A study on extending technologies lifespan for the environment safety

In recent decades, the technological devices have become a big burden for the environment. In fact, the production processes are depleting the natural resources and the end-of-life processes are emitting big amounts of heavy pollutants and toxic gases. Today, there is an agreement among researchers that the environmental issues must be considered from a life cycle perspective. In order to reduce the negative impacts of technologies on the environment, the best scenario would be to extend their lifespan. However, an old device, is usually linked to low performances, low profit for the manufacturer, additional reparation costs, high risks, etc. In this paper, the Double-Eco (DE) model, an evaluation platform of the compromise between the performances, cost, ecology, safety and lifespan is developed. Also, the environmental impacts of the lifespan are highlighted through the example of personal computers (PCs) and the DE model is applied to three types of grease lubrication as case of study. The results show that (1) evaluating a technology with all its aspects is efficient when deciding whether to extend its lifespan (2) based on the DE model, the lubrication with the longest lifespan has a better evaluation than the two other studied cases.
