Abstract: Designing a sustainable manufacturing system entail taking into account both financial and environmental restrictions. Business concerns about sustainable strategies of commercial and environmental accounting are developing. Still here, different techniques of measure an association's or providing chain's total environmental impact, and there is currently no agreed-upon uniform standard. Energy use's environmental and climate implications are quickly becoming a major challenge for industry and civilisation. Changing client expectations and requirements, government restrictions, and changing competition force many organisations to compete in new areas. Today's needs include not only quality, flexibility, timeliness, and affordability, as well as increase in demand on environment effects. Both traditional economic and environmental criteria must be met to attain sustainable-machining and manufacturing. In separate phases of product systems, a number of indicators based on price, elapsing-time, along with quality are used to measure economic performance.
