Abstract

Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is commonly used in furniture manufacture because of its consistent qualities, low cost, and ease of processing. However, its relatively short lifespan and rising market demand have resulted in substantial waste generation, posing serious environmental and disposal concerns. This study provides an integrated sustainable manufacturing and waste management framework for MDF that incorporates artificial intelligence technology and finite element method (FEM)-based structural optimization for bookshelf applications. The structural performance is evaluated by numerical simulations focusing on von mises stress, displacement, and safety factor. These findings indicate that combining FEM-based design optimization with intelligent waste management strategies might enhance the structural performance and sustainability of MDF products. This study emphasizes the necessity of merging advanced simulation, artificial intelligence, and life-cycle assessment methodologies to create intelligent, efficient, and ecologically responsible wood-based manufacturing systems.
