ecoPROSYS: An Eco-efficiency Framework Applied to a Medium Density Fiberboard Finishing Line

摘要: Abstract Assessing eco-efficiency performance of a production system is great importance, since such assessment enables one to make an informed decision concerning economic and environmental elementary systems within industrial productions systems. The framework presented in this paper based on the principles four cornerstones i) Data inventory, ii) Environmental evaluation, iii) impact iv) Cost models/Value data. Eco-Efficiency Integrated Methodology for Production Systems (ecoPROSYS) approach relies use systematized organized set indicators easy understand/analyse promoting continuous improvement more efficient resources energy. goal assess order support enable maximization product/processes value creation minimization burdens. methodology was applied Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) finishing line. results study intend validate applicability ecoPROSYS. case showed that cutting feeding table have superior while packing sanding lower performance. powerful tool can be used identify quantify key variables, alternative scenarios, evaluate aspects, influence unit processes overall
