Abstract

In this paper we define "Energy Aware Manufacturing (EAM)," as the "Manufacturing paradigm that concentrates on integrated optimal usage of energy in manufacturing right from material procurement to part disposal." The main emphasis of EAM is on an integrated optimal energy usage. The focus is to model energy related issues in the interactions between suppliers, production machines, part manufacturing and plant physical facilities. There is a need to develop quantitative models and information models and implementing a simulation test bed to accomplish the objective of EAM. In this paper, we develop a conceptual roadmap for accomplishing the objective of energy efficiency. We discuss the conceptual foundations of our approach.
