Because of lack of systematic description of operation pattern in the existing research on green manufacturing (GM) the meaning of operation pattern for GM was analyzed from the system integration point of view, and then the description of operation pattern was proposed in six views, i.e., objective view, product life cycle (PLC) view, manufacturing processes view, resources view, environment impacts view and composition view.Meanwhile, a four-layer structure GM operation model was built, including goal layer, PLC layer, design and development process layer, supporting systems layer. The applicability and system characteristics of six views architecture was verified according to the well effect of the application case of a machine tool manufacturing enterprise.
