Abstract
Results from a National Science Foundation sponsored workshop on Environmentally Benign Manufacturing (EBM) in the Transportation Industries are described. This workshop was organized through the leadership of the NAMRI/SME community and builds on the results of a worldwide benchmarking study supported by NSF [Gutowski, et. al., 2001]. The workshop was focused on identifying strategic directions, issues of importance, and EBM research topics. Experts in Metals Processing, Non-Metals Processing, Product Design and Support, and Enterprise and Factory Operation discussed the future of EBM and contributed valuable suggestions/comments.
