Abstract
The growth of a country significantly depends on its economic health of the manufacturing sector. The product design and product models change very frequently with reducing product life cycle. It is becoming a challenge for the manufacturers to fulfill the market requirements without affecting the environment. This chapter develops the framework for a green flexible manufacturing system (GFMS). It consists of the application of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs ), green process design and green product design as major components of the framework. AHP (Analytic hierarchy process) has been used for ranking of different factors. It has been observed that green product design has the highest ranking for green flexible manufacturing system. It is followed by green process design and application of AMTs.
