Manufacturing Process and System (MaPS) Sustainability Analysis Tool

The Manufacturing Process and System (MaPS) Sustainability Analysis tool is developed as part of a collaborative research project entitled Constructionism in Learning: Sustainable Life Cycle Engineering (CooL:SLiCE) [1] supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The MaPS tool enables you to assess the effect of different product designs on the environmental (energy use and carbon footprint), economic (cost), and social (number of injuries and illnesses and days away from work) impacts of manufacturing processes and supply chain network configurations.
