Abstract
<jats:p>The article addresses the problem of comprehensive efficiency assessment of material production and modification technologies in modern manufacturing conditions. The increas-ing complexity of technological processes, the expansion of additive and hybrid manufactur-ing, and the growing requirements for sustainable development necessitate the integration of technical, economic, resource, and environmental criteria within a unified analytical frame-work. The purpose of the study is to develop an applied approach to evaluating the efficiency of material technologies that ensures a well-grounded selection of technological regimes and improves production performance through the systematization and integration of heterogene-ous indicators.The paper systematizes contemporary methodological approaches to technology as-sessment, including process-oriented, structural-phase, functional-operational, resource-economic, life cycle (LCA), and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. Based on the concept “process – structure – properties – performance,” a structured system of criteria is proposed, grouped into structural, physical-mechanical, technological, resource, and envi-ronmental blocks. To enable quantitative comparison of alternative technological solutions, the study introduces an integral efficiency index calculated as a weighted sum of normalized criteria. The applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a comparative evaluation of alternative processing regimes, illustrating how the integral index reveals hid-den advantages associated with reduced energy consumption and improved environmental performance. The developed methodological framework can be implemented in industrial practice as a decision-support tool and integrated into digital production management sys-tems. The approach contributes to enhancing the transparency, consistency, and economic justification of technological choice in the context of digitalization and sustainable manufac-turing.</jats:p>
