Can the “Innovation Economy” and the “Green Economy” coexist? Here at the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, we see innovation and sustainability as keys to the long term economic growth and prosperity of U.S. manufacturers. At the same time, a culture of continuous improvement is necessary to enhance productivity and free up the capacity that will provide manufacturers a stable foundation to pursue innovation and growth.
These three key strategies of innovation, sustainability and continuous improvement come together in Lean and Sustainable Product Design (LSPD), a service offered by MEP to its manufacturing clients. It incorporates the critical element of product sustainability throughout the total life use cycle of a product, from cradle to grave to cradle. Environmental attributes are designed-in early and balanced with quality, performance, and price-value attributes.
