The relevance of reducing resource consumption in the manufacturing industry is increasing due to the scarcity of natural resources and EU directives. This paper analyzes the current literature on resource efficiency measures in the manufacturing industry, focusing on the circular economy. The focus paper presents the results of a systematic literature review aimed at reducing resource consumption in the manufacturing industry. The authors analyze 50 peer-reviewed articles and identified 22 measures, grouped into ten categories and two clusters. The categories were divided into two clusters: ”strategic” and ”operational”. Most of the identified measures were found in the ”resource-efficient production” category, which is assigned to the operational cluster. The objective of this work is to utilize the developed framework to provide measures for resource-efficient production for the manufacturing industry. This allows the industry to implement measures to reduce resource consumption in production.
