Summary
This review highlights the need for integrating green criteria, like low-carbon emissions, into production planning. It found energy efficiency is overemphasized, while carbon emissions and medium-term planning are overlooked in current research.
Area of Science:
- Operations Research
- Environmental Management
- Industrial Engineering
Background:
- Growing concern for environmental sustainability in manufacturing.
- Traditional production planning models often neglect environmental impacts.
- Existing reviews predominantly focus on energy efficiency in green production planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review medium and short-term production planning approaches considering "energy efficiency" and "low-carbon emissions."
- To develop a classification scheme for green production planning strategies.
- To identify new research avenues for incorporating green schemes into production planning.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of green production planning approaches.
- Exploration of multiple academic databases.
- Analysis of 84 articles published between 2011 and 2022.
Main Results:
- Most studies focus on "energy efficiency," with "low-carbon emissions" being underrepresented.
- "Green" concepts are more frequently applied to short-term than medium-term production planning.
- A significant gap exists in the literature regarding medium-term planning with a focus on carbon emissions.
Conclusions:
- There is a critical need to broaden the scope of green production planning beyond energy efficiency.
- Future research should prioritize the integration of low-carbon emission criteria, especially in medium-term planning.
- The study provides a foundation for researchers to advance green production planning methodologies.

01:01Production Efficiency
Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).
01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
01:26Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground cistern.

01:26Good Manufacturing Practices
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) constitute a foundational set of guidelines that ensure the production of safe, consistent, and high-quality products, particularly in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food processing. These protocols encompass all aspects of production, from the sourcing of raw materials to the final distribution of the finished product.A core pillar of GMP is stringent hygiene and sanitation across all production environments. This includes routine...

Optimizing growth media enhances microbial proliferation and maximizes product yield. Statistical experimental design methodologies provide structured and reproducible approaches, offering progressively higher levels of robustness and efficiency.The One-Factor-at-a-Time (OFAT) MethodThe One-Factor-at-a-Time (OFAT) method involves adjusting a single variable while keeping all others constant. However, it cannot detect interactions between variables, often leading to suboptimal outcomes when...
01:27Bioplastics
Bioplastics derived from microbial processes present a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Among these, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), particularly polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs), have emerged as prominent candidates due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. These polymers are synthesized by a variety of bacteria, such as Cupriavidus necator and Pseudomonas putida, which naturally accumulate PHAs as intracellular carbon and energy reserves, especially under...
