A modular framework for the LCA-based simulation of production systems.
Abstract
The development of new methodologies and tools supporting the design and management of eco-effective manufacturing systems represents a major challenge for the emerging sustainable production paradigm. Novel methodologies based on Life Cycle Assessment will be powerful tools to quantify the environmental impacts of factories and manufacturing system operations. The full exploitation of Life Cycle Assessment tools within frameworks for production process development still needs significant research efforts. A modular calculation of Environmental Profiles for a Production Line is proposed as a structured approach. An industrial application is described, with reference to a woodworking production line, outlining the major benefits of the approach.
