      abstract = {This book provides a means of improving the performance of  a manufacturing facility based on environmental compliance  and potential for profitability. This allows the reader to  evaluate materials and processes based on costs for  operations and environmental impact. The approach is wide  in scope recognizing key organizational functions such as  marketing, product design, manufacturing technology,  manufacturing management, and human resources. Active  involvement from members of each of these functional groups  is essential to create a manufacturing facility and then  maintain it as an ongoing "green" operation. The role and  responsibility of each of these groups are discussed to  enable both non-technical and technical readers to apply  techniques and methods for creating a green manufacturing  facility to their own enterprise. Also included is a case  study of a North Carolina manufacturing company that is a  profitable supplier to the automotive industry which  illustrates how the organization carries out its  responsibilities using techniques and methods described in  the preceding chapters of the book.},
