The book provides valuable insights into how modern production strategies can enhance quality, efficiency, and environmental sustainability, ultimately driving profit and competitive advantage in today's high-tech industry.

Today, production strategies are influenced by quality, cost, delivery, innovation, and responsiveness. Firms have traditionally pursued these goals through the adoption of production practices, such as simultaneous engineering, increasing efficiency through the elimination of defects, setup reduction, and worker empowerment. However, recent developments in industry suggest that industry regulators and professional bodies must encourage innovation in a broad range of high-tech production facilities with the environment in mind. The success of the industry depends on production facilities and the competitive advantage that the industry gains due to better quality and reliability. This advantage leads to an increase in sales and the creation of a sound customer base for greater market share, which eventually leads to more profit, growth, and expansion. A firm's processes must possess operating advantages in the form of competitive priorities to outperform its competitors, keeping in mind its influence on the environment. Digitization and Manufacturing Performance: An Environmental Perspective presents the expectations of industrialists, policymakers, and academics by evaluating the impact of production facilities.

Readers will find the book:

• Discusses emerging technologies and their role in environmental aspects in detail;
• Provides a comprehensive overview of the latest existing and emerging technologies and their environmental aspects;
• Justifies social, economic, and technical considerations of these technologies;
• Explores the relationship between advanced technologies and the environment through in-depth studies.

Audience

Researchers, scholars, faculty, professionals in research and development, and industrialists in the industrial, production, mechanical, and electronics sectors.

The idea of Digitalization and Manufacturing Performance is to highlight different tools and techniques for sustainable product development. This book emphasizes how enabling sustainable product development tools and techniques are used in modern organizations. The goal is to develop a new framework for organizations and meet regulatory and consumer demands. For this purpose, this book has been designed to investigate the parameters that contribute to the success of the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing processes are an important topic to address right now as they involve the environment and methods to strengthen industry operations.

The contents of this book are designed to investigate green engineering techniques and green product development. Readers invest in chapters dedicated to discussing different sustainable technologies, like the automobile sector, which has taken initiatives to reduce carbon content through new technology. In addition, ideas on alternate renewable energy sources are promoted to readers who are interested in this field. In another section, the development of a new framework for how GPD is incorporated in organizations. Therefore, this book addresses different sustainable technologies and different maintenance 4.0 techniques. These techniques are important to integrate to achieve optimal maintenance in organizations and field service.
