SUMMARY:Reminder: Visit & hybrid lecture: Sustainable Manufacturing for Impact: Targeted Interventions for System Implications
DESCRIPTION:CWMS is pleased to announce its first event of the 2024/25 season. The talk will be given by Dr Stephen Spooner, Associate Professor and Theme Leader for Sustainable Manufacturing at the Centre for Manufacturing and Materials within the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME) , part of Coventry University. For those attending in person, this will be followed by a short tour of the Centre.\n

 AME is the “first faculty on the factory floor”. Within the institute, the Centre for Manufacturing and Materials brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers to conduct targeted research for the benefit of our industrial partners, and contributes to fundamental understanding and methodologies across the themes of Manufacturing Metrology, Functional Materials and Chemistry, Innovation and Technology Transfer, Laser Processing and Joining, Structural Integrity, Digital Manufacturing and Sustainable Manufacturing.\n
 \n
 Within Sustainable Manufacturing, a quantified approach is applied to interventions across multi-tiered systems, engineering the focus of activities to unlock key areas of knowledge and understanding. The target is to enable sustainability by identifying appropriate technologies, easing pinch point sector restrictions and addressing problems such as an individual manufacturer’s route to sustainable investment decision making. Within this presentation you will be introduced to three examples of the approach to sustainable manufacturing within the automotive industry: \n
 •	EV’s for sustainability not profiteering;\n
 •	steel decarbonisation, Ni, Sn and the circular economy\n
 •	data for process change, navigating decisions and design limitations for technology uptake. \n
 The examples will illustrate how intended impact framing can drive research in directions other than the traditional approach.\n
 \n
 We hope the presentation will inspire an active conversation during the meeting with regard to concepts such as good enough over perfection, and the importance of alternative technologies for economic viability of any given solution.\n
