Glossary

Emerging Technologies – Technologies that are not yet standard but that are likely to be adopted in the near term. The expectation is that an emerging technology will come into standard usage when the application of the technology matures.

Sustainability – Sustainability encompasses the ethical ideal that calls for optimizing the long-term carrying capacity and vitality of three interdependent systems—environmental, social and economic. In a manufacturing context, sustainability aims to improve the quality of human life, while protecting nature, by engaging in manufacturing processes that are non-polluting, conserve energy and resources and protect ecosystems; benefit employees, consumers and communities; and strengthen enterprises that foster economic growth and prosperity.
