Cover Story: This study introduces a novel cloud-based framework to address the dual challenges of enhancing operational efficiency and promoting environmental sustainability in manufacturing. Historically, these critical goals have been pursued independently, leading to suboptimal results. Our integrated approach combines real-time process mining for workflow analysis, dynamic life cycle assessment with live sensor data, and multi-objective optimization to find balanced solutions. Validated with over 390,000 events from a tube manufacturing facility, the framework simultaneously increased operational efficiency by 5.1% and reduced carbon emissions by 12.4%. This research demonstrates that economic and environmental performance can be optimized in tandem, providing a powerful tool for sustainable industrial transformation. View this paper
