Abstract

Exergy analysis was first developed mainly to assess the efficiency of thermal systems. Therefore, several applicationspecific details need to be clarified in order to make a clear implementation of it in discrete manufacturing processes. Rather than transferring exergy, a production machine aims to transform material into useful products and destroys exergy along the way. The present study is focused on this dissipative nature of production processes which raises interdisciplinary issue and significantly affects the way efficiency metrics is defined. Solutions to overcome these challenges are discussed and an exemplary case study is given to illustrate the metrics application.
