Abstract

The goal of this research is to describe an example for developing frame work of environmental indicators for incorporating environmental shield into sand casting foundry. This research also describes continuous improvement (CI) with green productivity index (GPI) experimented in a sand casting industry, which includes environmental and economic performances. The data were collected for this described research from a sand casting foundry, Krislur Castomech Pvt. Ltd., Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India; and applied for developing green productivity index (GPI) and indicators. Quantification of indicators of environment is done using mass balance concept. The research depends on a unique data of sand casting foundry. This research is a conceptual approach of practical ideas and combining theory to cover the future for sustainable development in green manufacturing. From a view of research, it forms a framework related to indicators for incorporating of environment into casting industry and produces new application and research changes to various pollution spreading foundries. Limitations of this research are, variation of environmental indicators, process of molding used for making moulds, and furnace applied for melting of metal varies from one industry to another.Cite this ArticleAcharya Shailee G, Vadher Jeetendra A, Sheladiya MV et al.
