| Abstract Scope |
In this paper, a proposed multilayer-sustainable framework is developed to illustrate the influence of using the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology as a manufacturing process, this toolbox is enhancing the decision making of using the WAAM technology instead of using other conventional or advanced processing techniques to manufacture mechanical components. The assessment approach is based on capturing the relative manufacturing parameters of different processes applied for selected mechanical components. Additionally, using the most common benchmarking and selective assessment techniques such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), while considering all sustainability Triple bottom-line approach concerned with main economic, environmental, and societal factors in order to support an evidence for using WAAM as a manufacturing process under same conditions and parameters. |
