Abstract - The Green Manufacturing deals with conserving

Secondly, the environmental problems relate to every counts of the manufacture process. So many relevant concepts such as green design, ecological process planning, green manufacture and so on are brought out. Thirdly, GM is a complicated system engineering problem. It needs to be surveyed from the view of system engineering. Finally, the essence of GM is a kind of sustainable development in the field of modem manufacturing. So GM is the only solution of sustainable development and it is also the enterprise's responsibility for the society. Green manufacturing (GM) is a term used to describe manufacturing practices that do not harm the environment during any part of the manufacturing process. It emphasis the manufacturing processes that do not pollute the environment or harm consumers, employees, or other members of community. GM stresses on reducing parts, rationalizing materials and reducing components, to help make products more efficient to build. Green manufacturing highlights the road map of the industries for achieving performance improvement through sustainable development and its impact of organizational competitive outcomes. It also points out strength and weaknesses of sustainable development practices and overall organizational competitive outcomes using developed research instrument.

natural resources for future generation and recycling of material by improvements in production process than in control technology. The purpose of this paper is to present research finding that co-relates between problems faced due to manufacturing and its relation with the working of sugarcane factory and foundries. This research technology presented in paper claims about increase in economic progress rate while decrease in resource depletion, waste generation and pollution. The paper presents the green technology used over traditional way as it promotes green design and development of innovative manufacturing system. The paper informs about cost reduction and improved quality of product which is useful for industry purpose. Key Words: manufacturing, sugarcane, foundries, economic progress rate, resource depletion, waste generation, pollution

1. INTRODUCTION In this global world environment, resources and population are major problems. Environment is crucial one with and change in climate at any point leads to the imbalance of the earth. The ISO has proposed the new quality management system for products and even for Environment management system. The main era is to minimize the environmental damage due to industries. There is a need of new manufacturing process i.e. Green Manufacturing which is suitable a sustainable development strategic. The cost of energy and resources are constantly increasing due to rising demand and limited supply. Furthermore, price trends can hardly be forecasted, so companies aim to successfully produce within large price ranges of energy and resources. One strategy to accommodate price fluctuations consists of passing mark ups to the customer. However, a price mark-up may require that improvements be made to the product. Alternatively, stable prices may be facilitated with increased production efficiency, which can be achieved by reducing resource consumption and improving the organization of the manufacturing system. The companies practicing green manufacturing know the importance of implementation factors, but have failed to accomplish them today in totality.

1.2 Sustainable Development The word “sustainable” is coined from the term sustainable development, as introduced in a report published by the United Nations’ World Commission on Environment and Development, it is defined as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”, sustainable development’s goal is preventing unnecessary and further environmental degradation. Manufacturers are becoming increasingly concerned about the issue of sustainability. A system might be thought of as unsustainable when society consumes resources and produces wastes at a rate that exceeds nature’s ability to transform industry and society wastes into environmental nutrients and resources. Hence, Sustainable development is a concept, which involves social, ecological and economic objectives, and requires to sustain the integrity of resources exploitation, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change. Some of the benefits of green manufacturing are listed below:

1.1 Green Manufacturing The GM includes comprehensive meanings. Firstly, the concept of 'manufacture' relates to the total life circle of product. So the 'manufacture' here is a generalized concept.
