NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #121: Development of a Sustainability Metrics System and a Technical Solution Method for Sustainable Metal Finishing - 10th Quarterly Report
| Products Finishing
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the tenth quarter of project work (July-September 2022) at Wayne State University in Detroit. This report period covered the development of a significantly enhanced sustainability performance improvement methodology, which (i) allows the evaluation of any number of technology candidates, and (ii) identifies optimal solution(s) through assessing the combined benefits obtained by adopting multiple technologies under various design, manufacturing, cost and technical constraints. The methodology was successfully tested using the data from the five plating facilities.
