Dr. Dornfeld, professor of mechanical engineering at University of California, Berkeley where he runs the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Sustainability [LMAS] research will discuss specific steps to achieving sustainable manufacturing. For manufacturers to survive, they need a much more comprehensive understanding of their business, their customers, their own processes, and their drivers to profitability.  Concepts of sustainable manufacturing combined with lean principles help manufacturers to not only survive, but to thrive.  Businesses need to enable rapid response, to welcome change, and to learn to become adaptable and flexible.  Integrating green with lean practices is an enabling technology to do just that.  When combined with a more broadly based perspective to incorporate energy use, environmental impact and social responsibility, "lean and green" together provide powerful leverages to profit.  The pace of change requires rapid assessment and fact-based decision-making from a triple bottom line perspective of people, planet and profit.  In North America, we need to accelerate our understanding and implementation of sustainable manufacturing practices in every size company.
