Sorry I was in another meeting and lost all track of time!

The agenda item is: What approach to manufacturing is most appropriate for a sustainable society?

Discussion

There are several approaches to manufacturing - sequential, concurrent - lean manufacturing, craft manufacturing. What are the pros and cons of each? We want something to be efficient (= less waste), but we also don't want something that is "efficient" with disregard for the environment. What approach should be used.

An approach to manufacturing that focuses on an industrial ecology. J-Fed 16:17, 29 February 2008 (EST)

Can you elaborate, Jesse? Walkerma 16:18, 29 February 2008 (EST)

  • This includes sector initiatives: DFE, Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry and Sustainable energy systems. Implementation Initiatives: industrial ecology and R&D agendas, materials / models/databases and comprehensive risk assesments and risk priorititzation. These initiatives form and ecological infrastructure which form an industry based on ecology and therefore become sustainbale. J-Fed 16:21, 29 February 2008 (EST)
The electrical, electronics and telecommunications sectors are enablers of sustainability because they allow the provision of increasing quality-of-life using less material and energy, respectively, dematerialization and decarbonization (Dorff 135). J-Fed 16:23, 29 February 2008 (EST)
