CM4091 Green Manufacturing Syllabus:

CM4091 Green Manufacturing Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. To expose the students to the basics of environmental sustainability and impact assessment objectives.
2. To incorporate knowledge about the environmental based improvements towards lean manufacturing systems.
3. To analyze various machineries with intent to conserve energy
4. To analyze hazardous and solid wastes with intent to point out areas of adverse environmental impact and how this impact could be minimized or prevented.
5. To impart the knowledge about the need, procedure and benefits of Green-Co rating.

UNIT – I ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT
