520	3		_aAbstract: Nowadays, environmental concern has been highlighted as an important global topic in different management levels, as well as the manufacturing industry. With this in mind, manufacturing systems should now run businesses competitively via an environmentally friendly system. Since having an eco-friendly system has now become a required feature rather than a luxury, adopting green practices has a significant impact on the social roles and maintaining economic benefits as well. There is a need to define and measure the greenness of different manufacturing levels. In general, manufacturing levels are categorized as following; product, machine, process, system, corporate, and sector. Therefore, manufacturing systems study the factors assessing the greenness level which contribute to the development of their green footprint. However, the efforts exerted in this field are limited, as there is no clear procedure to assess the maturity of the green practices of different manufacturing levels. Moreover, current research is mainly focused on either the assessment methodology or single manufacturing level. In this research study, an integrated approach to assess the greenness of different manufacturing levels is developed to utilize the green attributes. A “Greenometer” is introduced as a multi-layer toolbox to capture the greenness level in the selected manufacturing industries. System and sector manufacturing levels are the different manufacturing levels of the Greenometer. The developed assessment approach is based on the fundamentals of the green manufacturing assessment factors: environment, resources, energy, and economy. Moreover, the Greenometer is built on existing assessment techniques which concentrate on strategic comparison for cross industries evaluation, and tactical comparison for intra-industries evaluation. The Greenometer adopts the Geometric vii Mean Method (GMM) as a generic assessment technique for the cross industries layer and the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as the most common bench-marking comparison technique for the intra-industries layer. The intra-industries layer categorizes the manufacturing industries into three industrial classes, known as heavy industrial class, intermediate industrial class and light industrial class. This categorization is based on common environmental standards, such as ISO 14000 families and the United States environmental protection agency (US. EPA). The proposed Greenometer is validated by three different case studies in different manufacturing industries. Petroleum industries, automotive industries and electronics industries are representing heavy industrial class, intermediate industries class, and light industries class, respectively. The results from the case studies showed the strategic and tactical green footprint of each manufacturing system, as well as the environmental bottlenecks, which gives a clear image with regard to improving and developing environmental plans and polices.
