As industries around the world move toward smarter and more sustainable production methods, a recent Ph.D. graduate at Missouri S&T has developed a new model that could help manufacturers cut costs and reduce carbon emissions without requiring more resources.

The study, published in Springer Nature and part of a National Science Foundation grant, was conducted by Dr. Joshua Adu Afari, who received a Ph.D. in engineering management in July 2025, along with Dr. Abhijit Gosavi, professor of engineering management; and Dr. Robert Marley, professor emeritus of engineering management.
