Pressure die-casting parts are widely used in various assemblies so the die-casting products are in hugedemand. To meet the increasing demand and increasing manufacturing cost industries are focusing on sustainablemanufacturing. Life cycle assessment tools are used by the industries to quantify sustainability of a process. In the presentstudy, a computer aided system to analyze the sustainability of pressure die-casting process is developed. The proposedsystem can determine indicators like energy use, solid waste, cost, and other miscellaneous consumption like flux, die-coatlubricant for pressure die-casting process. It determines the sustainability indicators on the basis of the selection of metal,metal alloy and sub-process. This system has user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI).That has been developed toprompt user to select the various choices in the system and enter data for the process plan.The two case studies are presentedto verify the computer aided system process analyzer by comparing the system data with actual measured data in industry
