Abstract:

The manufacturing processes are some of the largest generators of industrial wastes. Current legislation in the field of waste management specifies the obligation to manage this with minimal impact on soil, water, air, environment, etc. In this sense, in this paper is detailed the methodology of assessment of environmental aspects, and the case study consists of implementation of ferrous waste management from the manufacturing industry in accordance with ISO 14001. Also, considering the Pareto chart, it was improved the environmental quality, and by implementation of corrective action it was minimized the significant environmental aspects.

Brief Biography of the Speaker:

Badea Lepadatescu is currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Technological Engineering and Industrial Management of Transylvania University of Brasov, Romania. He obtained his doctoral degree in 1998 in the area of machining through superfinishing process. After he graduated he worked five years as design engineer at Roman truck factory in the field of manufacturing processes where he designed many devices and special machine tools especially for superfinishing process. Started on 1982 he worked as research engineer at Transylvania University of Brasov, and after 1997 he is teaching at Department of Manufacturing Engineering. His main academic interests include Tolerance and Dimensional Control, Manufacturing Engineering Processes, Automation Processes, and Renewable Energy Sources. The research accomplishments are reflected through publications in a eight books and authored or co-authored over 120 papers published at international conferences. He has extensive experience in both experimental and theoretical research work having more than 50 contracts with factories to design and produce machine tools for machining processes. Also in the field of Renewable Energy Sources together with a team he made two wind turbines, one with horizontal axis for taking water, and one with vertical axis to produce electric energy. He has been speaker to international conferences, has moderated forums, organized symposia, workshops and sessions at major international conferences.
