This book explores sustainability within manufacturing enterprises and examines the concepts and principles of this field. It also reviews the quantitative and qualitative tools available for analytic assessment. It presents a new framework for sustainable manufacturing requirements and discusses the implementation of sustainable manufacturing in terms of practices, indicators, and sustainability level assessments. The book also details the important conditions necessary for the conversion of existing traditional plants to ones with more sustainable processes. Chapters explore topics including the assessment of economic sustainability, social sustainability, sustainable manufacturing practices, and sustainability optimization. Serving as a reference for engineers, managers, and practitioners involved in manufacturing, this book will also be a valuable resource to students and researchers of industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, systems engineering, and operations management.

Dr. Ibrahim Garbie is currently an Associate Professor in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Sultanate of Oman, and Mechanical Engineering Department at Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt. Dr. Garbie received his Ph.D in Industrial Engineering Department from University of Houston, Texas, USA in 2003, M.Sc. in Manufacturing Processes (1996) and B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering (Production) (1991) from Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt. He has worked as a visiting professor in many Universities. Also, He participated in several national/international educational development programs, consultant and research funded projects. His main area of research during the past 24 years has focused on Manufacturing Processes and Economics, Manufacturing Systems Design, Complexity Analysis, Lean/Leanness in Production Systems, Agile/Agility Systems in Manufacturing systems, Reconfiguration and Sustainability of Manufacturing Enterprises. He has more than 55 papers in refereed international journals, conferences, technical reports and book chapters. He is a Senior Member of Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE).
