The goal of research in the LMAS is to create sustainable technologies and tools that innovate manufacturing products, processes, and systems. These approaches exploit opportunities at all levels of manufacturing (i.e., from the enterprise and supply chain to the facility, line, cell, machine tool, and process) to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of different processes and systems. Specific areas of focus include the development of data-driven tools to support decision making and planning, assessment and characterization approaches to model and analyze the sustainability of manufacturing, and green technologies to reduce the environmental impact of consumer products.
