Supply and Distribution Method and System Which Considers Environmental or" Green" Practices

摘要: The carbon footprint of a supply and distribution chain is modeled as a carbon dioxide (CO) cost that can be consid ered alongside monetary or dollar (S) costs in Supply, manu facturing, and distribution operations. Databases on products and services, Supply chain policies, and targets, costs, and/or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are used by a GHG calcu lator to output carbon footprint data and/or by a Supply chain optimizer to output Supply chain planning and policy data. Client computers obtain carbon footprint and/or supply chain planning and policy data by querying a server with access to a database storing calculated carbon footprint data. Input data to the GHG calculator is updated based on choices made by users of the system.
