| Abstract | This thesis project examines using the Employee is number 1 concept together with sustainable manufacturing in developing a design for a localized factory and research facility for Environmentally Sustainable Transport. The research starts with the problem of how to provide a better work environment both in physical and mental health for the employees of this facility. This explores the possibility of deconstructing the typical factory setting then adding in various elements to help in achieving physical and mental wellness. This thesis also looks upon the technical side of manufacturing by creating a new manufacturing facility of E-Jeeps taking into consideration that these are relatively new products so standards for the sizes of the vehicles are flexible. The thesis then takes out the traditional method of manufacturing vehicles and adds sustainability into the equation. The design ends having a design that focuses on the employees giving them a different environment compared to traditional factories. The manufacturing method and building is also given makeover to adapt to sustainability. |
