Sustainable Manufacturing of Deteriorating Products Through Green and Preservation Technologies

The growing focus on sustainability has driven manufacturers to integrate green and preservation technologies into their production processes to enhance environmental responsibility and operational efficiency. This study examines a production model that minimizes costs, maximizes profitability, and ensures sustainable growth through strategic technology investments. Using the Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model, two scenarios are analyzed: (1) investment in green technology and (2) investment in preservation technology. The aim is to enhance system profitability by optimizing critical operational parameters, with a focus on efficient carbon emission management. To minimize waste and boost operational efficiency, a two-parameter Weibull distribution is utilized. The model is verified through numerical simulations using MATLAB R2024b, which determine the global optimum values for cycle time and greening level. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis evaluates the model’s stability under varying conditions. The findings provide valuable insights for sustainable manufacturing and offer recommendations for future research.
