This book explores sustainability and innovation in manufacturing, encompassing three distinct parts. The first section delves into Sustainability in Manufacturing, where it analyzes topics like intelligent manufacturing, Industry 4.0 challenges, structural equation modeling for social sustainability, barriers to intelligent manufacturing systems, and critical success factors in Six Sigma deployment. The second part of the book, comprising Chapters 6-11, focuses on Ergonomics and Safety in manufacturing, examining cases related to health issues caused by factors like noise, high-temperature working conditions, ergonomic posture, and design attributes for ergonomic products. Lastly, Part III, consisting of Chapters 12-14, explores computational techniques applied in manufacturing, addressing issues such as vegetable waste in India, technology transfer models for university-industry collaboration, and the application of System Dynamics in safety management systems. Together, these chapters provide a comprehensive overview of sustainability, ergonomics, safety, and computational techniques in the manufacturing industry.

This book provides a conceptual description of the PDCA cycle and the tools that support it. A brief literature review is given for each tool, indicating the timeline according to Scopus, the main areas in which they are applied, the main authors and the journals that most publish on these topics. It reports three industrial applications, one focusing on cost reduction, the second on optimizing a manufacturing company's raw material receiving process, and the third one on eliminating waste and increasing performance.

This book introduces the main concepts of manufacturing systems and presents several evaluation approaches for these systems' evaluation. This book presents a Macroergonomic Compatibility Model which proposes an instrument in the form of a Macroergonomic.
