Value Creation through Sustainable Manufacturing; September 24 and 25, 2015; Lexington, KY

1548385（Badurdalian）。“通过可持续制造创造价值”是可持续制造研究所（ISM）举办的第五届可持续制造国际论坛（IFSM）的主题。 它将于2015年9月24日至25日在肯塔基州列克星敦的肯塔基州大学校园举行。可持续制造强调在产品、工艺和系统领域提高可持续性绩效，现已被视为通过创新提高竞争力的推动因素。然而，为了使可持续制造业的商业理由，有必要从经济以及环境和社会的角度确定和调动通过可持续制造业创造价值的机会。第五届IFSM将聚焦这一主题，并将行业从业者和学术研究人员聚集在一起，讨论通过可持续制造实现价值创造的机遇和挑战。该论坛将邀请演讲者，终身教职员工在“新兴研究人员展示”和小组讨论中进行演讲。此外，还将举行海报会议，突出学生和年轻教师在可持续制造方面的研究成果。NSF的资金将用于为美国的受邀演讲者提供旅行支持，特别是在相关领域进行研究的终身助理教授以及参加第五届IFSM的选定研究生。

1548385 (Badurdeen). "Value Creation through Sustainable Manufacturing" is the theme for the 5th International Forum on Sustainable Manufacturing (IFSM) organized by the Institute for Sustainable Manufacturing (ISM). It will be held 24-25 September 2015 on the campus of the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky. Sustainable manufacturing, with its emphasis on increasing sustainability performance in the product, process and systems domains, is now recognized as an enabler for increasing competitiveness through innovation. However, to make the business case for sustainable manufacturing, there is a need to identify and mobilize opportunities for value creation through sustainable manufacturing from economic as well as environmental and societal perspectives. The 5th IFSM will focus on this theme and bring together industry practitioners and academic researchers to discuss opportunities and challenges to enable value creation through sustainable manufacturing. This forum will feature invited speakers, tenure-track faculty presentations in a "Emerging Researcher Showcase" and a panel discussion. In addition, a poster session will be held to highlight research achievements in sustainable manufacturing by students and young faculty. NSF funding will be used to provide travel support to U.S. based invited speakers, particularly tenure-track Assistant Professors conducting research in related areas as well as selected graduate students to attend the 5th IFSM.
