Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights report presents the findings of a sustainability
survey of 221 U.S. manufacturers. This survey reminds us that many are just
getting started in greening their products and processes. A majority of
manufacturers expect IT to play a role in going green, and Manufacturing
Insights maintains that IT applications and tools can be a much-needed
foundation for sustainability as a transformation process, much like a lean or
Six Sigma initiative.
"Our 2009 sustainability prediction emphasizes that the gap between leaders and
followers will widen, and the growing use of numbers to define a company' s
sustainability progress is going to make that gap visible inside and outside
the company," says Kimberly Knickle, practice director at Manufacturing
Insights.
