The CSO drives Sustainable Manufacturing initiatives
The CSO needs to tackle sustainable factory and facility design to increase energy efficiency in manufacturing processes and consider how renewable energy can be implemented in operations. Beyond energy, the CSO will need to consider water conservation in production processes, a zero waste manufacturing approach and consider closed-loop production systems. In addition, areas like chemical management and reduction strategies, green lean manufacturing methodologies, and a resource efficiency optimization strategy to drive carbon reduction in manufacturing will be essential. The CSO can lead industrial symbiosis and by-product synergies to implement an environmental management system to help identify sustainable materials sourcing for production and achieve environmental compliance through real-time sustainability monitoring in operations. Combined with manufacturing benefits, the implementation of sustainable logistics and transportation will drive towards operational excellence with sustainability.
