题目：Life Cycle Oriented Decision Making for Sustainable Manufacturing: From Product Design to Supply Chain Management
摘要：Manufacturing is one of the most important sectors influencing global sustainability and researchers have been undertaking strategic activities focused on sustainable manufacturing. Sustainable manufacturing requires simultaneous consideration of economic, environmental, and social implications associated with the entire life cycle of the products manufactured i.e. from raw material extraction to end of life management. In this talk, recent research into product design, process planning, operation scheduling, manufacturing processes, supply chain management to advance sustainable manufacturing (especially environmental sustainability of manufacturing enterprises) conducted at Purdue University and other places is reviewed. It should be noted that sustainable manufacturing decisions made at one level may have impacts prorogated to other levels, and the interdependent life cycle stages of a product will make decision making even more challenging. Fortunately, emerging manufacturing paradigms i.e. digital manufacturing and industry 4.0 may open up numerous opportunities to solve these challenges.
专家简介：Dr. Fu Zhao is Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Environmental and Ecological Engineering at Purdue University. His research is mainly focused on sustainable design and manufacturing, with particular interests in conceptual design, manufacturing process characterization, process planning, energy-efficient scheduling, and product end-of-life management. He also conducts research on advancing life cycle analysis for sustainability assessment and policy development related to renewable energy systems. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and conference proceedings on these topics, and is a receipt of the outstanding paper award at the 43rd SME North American Manufacturing Research Conference. Dr. Zhao’s research has been supported by NSF, DOE, EPA, and industries. Dr. Zhao was Co-Chair and Chair of Life Cycle Engineering Technical Committee of ASME’s Manufacturing Engineering Division from 2006 to 2008 and from 2008 to 2010. He is now Co-Chair of the Design for Manufacturing and Life Cycle Technical Committee of ASME’s Design Engineering Division. Dr. Zhao holds two B.S. degrees (one in thermal engineering and the other in environmental engineering) and an M.S. degree (in thermal engineering) from Tsinghua University. He received his second M.S. degree in electrical engineering and his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan before joining Purdue University in 2007.
