Abstract

Determining key performance indicators (KPI) is a first step in achieving environmen-tal sustainability of manufacturing operations. KPI selection is a multi-criteria decision making problem, because of various criteria that must be considered. Intuitively, one can rank candidate KPIs by specifying a numerical value indicating the effectiveness of a KPI in satisfying each criterion. However, linking selection criteria to KPI objec-tives and scoring how well a KPI satisfies a given criterion and assigning a value to each potential score leads to better KPI rankings. Values for each score are crucial. This paper shows steps to capture values to derive a criterion value function that is used to rank candidate KPIs. Selected KPIs can be used for assessing and monitoring sustainability performance, which must be considered together with including tradi-tional (e.g., throughput) measures. A machine shop is used to show how an objective of reducing emissions from energy use in manufacturing can be pursued by monitor-ing the energy used to produce a unit product.
